Been a while since I’ve been on campus, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten the comedy those times can bring. Sorostitutes, hooknasties, whatever you want to call them, I’m always going to have a soft spot in my heart for the bleach-blond, sweatsuit-clad, hoop-earringed adversaries of my college days.
No big ranty post today, just a few little things:
- Dana convinced me to watch an episode of Jimmy Fallon’s late show, promising that she and her boyfriend were visible in the audience someplace, and that cool things like a live performance of Lazy Sunday happened. This was my first episode of Jimmy Fallon, and I’ve never wanted to kill myself more. Jimmy Fallon has to be literally the worst late-night host there has ever been. He has no ability to deliver jokes live that are in any way funny, and said jokes are so horrible and corny anyway that I doubt even Jay Leno would want them. Do yourselves a favor dear readers, and never, ever watch his show.
- Dana and I are inexplicably becoming addicted to to Twitter. If you’re interested in keeping up on the hilarious banalities of our lives, you can give us a follow here.
- I’m playing through Etrian Odyssey 2 again, which for those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s like a dungeon crawler game that has this really involved and cool mapmaking system. Basically, along with a bunch of other gameplay elements, you have to map like 30 floors of complicated-ass dungeon by hand. My point here is that, playing through again, I wondering just what exactly is wrong with my brain that I got such profound joy from mapping out imaginary places in meticulous detail. Thoughts, suggestions or curses are welcome.

SONGS FOR THIS WEEK
In honor of the hooknasties in this week’s comic, lets do some rap music.
- “Dance with the Devil”–Immortal Technique. Serious business rap music for a serious time.
- “Way of Life”–Dead Prez. I sure do love Dead Prez, mostly because their lyrics are just wonderful. Favorite phrase in this song? “Science of breath.” Favorite word? “Tincture.”
- “Diamonds on the Inside”–Input. No words, just listen here.
College. . . the things which I have done are unspeakable*; the things which I have seen are more so. Frat mattresses are disssgusssting. You need a condom just to look at them. Wouldn’t want to get HIV.
*this is exaggeration for dramatic effect.
haha, but the HIV part isn’t?
mike, how can you hate on jimmy fallon so much? i’ll fully admit that he sucks as a late night host, but he’s so harmless and lovable. it’s like giving a puppy a talk show.
on a comic-related note, there was a group of college-aged hooknasties in the audience at the taping i went to. two of them were sporting that inexplicable snookie poof in their hair, and the warm-up comedian just made fun of them for about 10 minutes.
It’s nothing like giving a puppy a talk show. Giving a puppy a talk show would just be most of the wonderful things ever, while Jimmy Fallon is far from that. It’s more like giving an 80 year old a talk show…kind of cute, but mostly awkward and makes little to no sense.
Sorry Danes…I usually jump at the chance to disagree with Mike, but he’s right this time…
haha well, that’s a fair argument vanessa. i guess i just have a lot of pity for fallon because he seems like a genuinely nice guy, yet he’s so bad at his job.
I am always right. Especially when I say I know which way 295 goes.
Danas, harmless is something I look for in exhaust fumes and oversized insects, not a human being that is trying to be funny. You know well that I have a decent chunk of socially toxic personal ticks, but I swear on the ghost of my public speaking teacher, I could run a better show than Sleepy McTeleprompter. And that’s a real shame, considering that I can’t talk to strangers even slightly without stuttering.
I’ve seen Fallon in a bunch of SNL things that I’ve liked, but he sucks so incredibly at hosting, I think it’s a literal sin. That’s right Dana, his performances are just like murder or coveting your neighbor’s wfie, and not in the fun way. In the way that totally pisses off God and insults his creation irredeemably.
I shudder at your accuracy. I’m a senior in college right now and I can’t think of anywhere else I’d less like to be. I am sick of dance club music, sweatpants, binge drinking, Blackberry’s and sheltered living.
Haha, I’m going to be honest with you Margo, the only part of that which really goes away is the sweatsuits. I guess maybe sheltered living too, but that’s sort of a relative statement which I’m having difficulty inferring your meaning.
Regardless though, less sweatsuits is certainly something to look forward too.
if you like Immortal Technique, try Jedi Mind Tricks my personal favorite by em is “Eve of War” with GZA. i think my favorite by Immortal Technique was either Peruvian Cocaine or Harlem Streets
I almost did a Jedi Mind Trick song this week (“Black Winter Day” according to my notes?). These other songs of yours, I will be looking up tomorrow in the A.M.
my missnake second song i meant Caught in a Hustle, look up the video to it that IT posted, it has this guy doing a really interesting drawing to the song
Man, Harlem streets is an awesome song.
immortal technique has horrible flow but he has great lyrics
