“What are you? A comedian?”
“Well, I’m no Margaret Cho…”

The Blogfather was right: Technorati is fun.
The Meatriarchy shows I’m funnier than Margaret Cho and deserving of a Bloggie by comparing her letter to Michael Moore to my letter to Michael Moore. I remember how my college roommate always considered Cho the eptiome of unfunniness, so this isn’t the greatest compliment… but hey, it’s better than saying I want to control children, am less funny than women, and want to abuse Max Beerbohm. Check it out.

  1. I also nominated Misha for best American blog. Again – no take up.
    If you look at the results for the past three years the same people tend to win every year.
    Namely
    Will Wheaton (see another reader’s excellent comment above).
    Little Yellow Different (supposed funny gay blog that I didn’t laugh at)
    LubyLu (an Asutralian blog that is hard to describe -think of that awful chick crap comic Cathy and you get the picture)
    Boing Boing (seems to be nominated in every category but really belongs in one of the following – Most Overrated blog or maybe Most Annoying Blog.
    Also it helps if you are a web programmer, HTML Geek or ‘scripting guru” the look of the blog is far more important than the content.
    In fact they should change the name of the awards to: “Prettiest Blogs on the Net Awards.”
    Thanks for the link Frank.

  2. I’m getting on in my years so I’ll have to remember to stop reading that letter when it’s posted anywhere again. The part about beating the leprechaun gets me every time, and one of these days I’m going to seriously bust a gut.
    I already had to go to the emergency room when I threw my back out having sex with my wife, but at least there’s some nobility in that. “I injured myself laughing at a web page” is just pathetic.
    “Aye, what a sound beating I received; quite proportionate to my size.”
    Goddam that’s funny.

  3. “Jingoism” thats an awful big word for Margret.I wonder if she knows what quisling means.The definition’s only a mirror away.Anyhow Frank, you keep me ROTFL day in day out.Thanks

  4. Drank some beer and got a little over-excited on here last night. Sorry for all the swearing.(Snorfle)
    Note: “Snorfle” describes the pig-like nose-noise commonly made by thirty-nine year-old men who still live with their parents when they tell you that they’ve got a girlfriend.

  5. Frank, I love you. Seeing a reference to something I said on your site is like seeing myself on TV. It is incredibly gratifying, even if it’s a reference to an insult. It means that thousands of people know who I am, and think of me with mild disdain. That just about makes my day.
    On topic: Cho used to be funnyish doing standup, but the blog seems lacking.
