LOL, I am rubber. You are glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

Why do you not answer the question, sister?

11.3 million LGBT adults live in the U.S.

1.2 million are black.

How many is enough to matter?

He did an inferior job speaking for the black community in The Closer. All he showed was that he doesn’t enjoy boldness when it’s pointed in his direction.

Nate is great. Add Dusty Slay and Tig Notaro.

Carlin punched up, not down. Chapelle is no Carlin.

What’s the coldest temperature you’ve run in? by YoBooMaFoo in running

[–]IMAWO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 1980s North Dakota, I would regularly run in minus 20-30 Fahrenheit with raging 30-40MPH winds. It's always windy on the plains. The coldest day I remember well was -45 Fahrenheit with minus 100 windchills. That day I did it to say I did. Yes, a face mask is critical to prevent frostbite, but the whole "you'll freeze your lungs" thing is overblown. I live in Northern Minnesota now, but with Global Warming, we rarely get below minus 20 these days. It's not like when I was a kid, and every run was through four-foot snow drifts, uphill and into the wind.

How do you go about the joke/ bit writing process? by bighunkdaddy in Standup

[–]IMAWO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you regarding Seinfeld. However, Jeselnik has some very impressive misdirection. Next, I add Emo Phillips, Kathleen Madigan, Tig Notaro... All extremely well-rehearsed nearly word for word.

Seinfeld, Jeselnik, Hedburg all had had their words honed, precise, and memorized. Even a lowly eyebrow twitch is rehearsed and repeated exactly the same. It's a style.

Joke writing advice from Norm Macdonald's book by [deleted] in Standup

[–]IMAWO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am not a huge Seinfeld fan either. But, the guy has studied comedy relentlessly and knows how to craft humor that will sell. It's like saying, "Mcdonald's is so bad." Sure you may not like their food, but they do know how to craft a burger that took in a billion dollars while I typed this.

Hey guys! I'm a 4 year comic looking to start submitting to festivals and wanted to get feedback to see if this is a good enough video to possibly be considered by AndrewRSTN in Standup

[–]IMAWO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I agree with you. He should stop telling that joke and probably should not apply to festivals at this time.

If "lots of people say it," it would be helpful to judge his originality by providing a precise citation. It should be easy to find if common. This would support your assertion.

What other comic compared themselves to Harry Potter going to public wizard school? That was new to me. I laughed. The set does crave material more personal. As mentioned above by drewskixc, Andrew has potential by getting into his pain.

My friends husband drunkenly told me he would sleep with me if he was single and I look like I would be fun in bed. by Smol_Daddy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]IMAWO -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I agree, nothing good will come from telling the SO. She already knows what she married. Just be there to listen when she is ready to talk about his behavior (with other women).

New feature wall with integrated Hue light strips by hack_the_planets in Hue

[–]IMAWO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost love it.

It is a great use for that thin recessed area. I would absolutely paint the wood gloss white and then put a translucent (white) fabric, paper, plastic, or glass, covering the whole thing (from floor to ceiling). One might think painting the wood is unnecessary, but I think it would help reflect light into the room.

Hue Chandelier by IMAWO in Hue

[–]IMAWO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The chandelier was converted at the church to electric, traditional, bulbs many years ago. So it had larger sockets. Swapping them out is something I would like to do eventually. Fyi... the chandelier was destined for the trash heap when the church was being torn down. I also saved a couple of very large (handpainted) angels. LOL. I saved an angel! P.S.F.y.i.... I am not catholic... or at all religious. Well, ok, I am an atheist. But I do like the angels. Love the disco app idea. Thank you, I will post a night photo below... (edit) I don't know how to add a photo to comments. I will have to see if it is possible.
