Who sucks?

[booyalab]

Yeah if only they would talk about relationships, work, drugs....like every comic in the world.

YouTube - Ricky Gervais talking about a stand up show he saw

Why are all our heroes so imperfect
Why do they always bring me down
Why are all our heroes so imperfect
The statue in the park has lost his crown

William Faulkner drunk and depressed
Dorothy Parker mean, drunk and depressed
And that guy in Seven Years in Tibet
turned out to be a nazi
The founding fathers all had slaves,
the explorers slaughtered the braves,
The Old Testament God can be so petty

Paul McCartney jealous of John,
even more so now that he's gone
Dylan was so mean to Donovan in that movie
Pablo Picasso cruel to his wives
My favorite poets took their own lives
Orson Welles peaked at 25, ballooned before our eyes
and he sold bad wine

Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice
Lewis Carroll I'm sure did Alice
Plato in the cave with those very young boys
TS Elliott hated Jews, FDR didn't save the Jews
All the French joined the resistance after the war
Raymond Chandler drunk and depressed
Tennessee Williams drunk and depressed
Think I'll just get drunk and depressed.

and in addition,

Byron was a cad
Shelley was a whiny little baby
Thoreau was... well, he was also a whiny little baby
Dante was a stalker


Emerson is unassailable.

Emerson is pretty assailable. He is the forerunner to the vapid New England Phish-head hippie. Thoreau >>> Emerson. He does get bonus points for being pretty libertarian and definitely an abolitionist, though.

Also, I never figured out why Jill Sobule calls out McCartney as opposed to Lennon in that song. Lennon was definitely the darker and more misanthropic man during the time when those two had their problems.

Ah, c'mon! There's always something to gripe about.

At least Emerson gave Americans a good kick in the ass... reminded them not to kowtow to the Brits when it came to culture.

Emerson is SO >>>>>>>> Thoreau!

MORE FISTICUFFS!!

I agree with that. I am not a huge transcendentalism fan, but I respect those guys. I am a big fan of the Great American Weirdos of the 19th-Century. Stephen Pearl Andrews!

Roland Emmerich sucks big fat-ass rhinoceros cock.

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Thoreau is the bomb diggity. That is all.

Roland Emmerich sucks big fat-ass rhinoceros cock.

Okay, so 10,000 B.C. wasn't that good. I liked The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day, and Stargate...and even Godzilla, to a certain extent.

With that said, I also think Michael Bay is highly underrated.

And the main reason people hate Tim Burton (I'm not one of them) is because he partially inspired the Hot Topic culture.
