Being guarded

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Thanks to those of you who tuned in for last night's episode of "Clearly, you're retarded". The topic we discussed was being open vs. being guarded in life. You can download it (and should download it) here, or find it as a podcast through iTunes here, or just listen live using the widget in my sidebar.

We got a bit off topic and ended up talking about stepping out of comfort zones and making friends. One topic I wanted to explore more was blogging openly and blogging in a more guarded fashion. Anyone with a brain would see Britt as being an open blogger. She has no problem sharing every bump in the road, every wart and every wrinkle, and it's part of what makes her such an interesting blogger. On the other hand, I rarely post about feeling stressed or if I'm cranky. I don't post about my concerns or my fears. But does that make me a guarded blogger?

I'm not sure. I would say yes, but would a guarded blogger post the following?

1. A naked picture of himself?
2. A video of him dancing?
3. An embarrassing post about masturbation? Semen?

How would you define a guarded blogger? An open blogger?

Myocardial Infraction

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I read an article about a guy who faked heart attacks to get out of paying for goods and services.

Quoted from the article:

"[The] man took a cab to a mall Monday and pretended to have a heart attack. The cab driver left unpaid.

Authorities say the man then ran up a $23 bill when he had a steak dinner at Applebee's. He again pretended to have a heart attack."

Umm, does anyone else see the flaw in this guy's logic? I mean, he got caught, so his scams didn't last too long, but how exactly did that work?

CABBIE: Okay, pal, that will be $18.

PASSENGER: (clutches chest) AGGGGHHHH! I can't feel my arm! I'm having a heart attack!

CABBIE: Oh Jesus! I'll drive you to the hospital!

PASSENGER: Nah, NNGGNNNNNN, that's okay. AARAGHHHHHHH. I'll just go take some aspirin. MWWARGGHHHH. Let me pay you–OH GOD THE PAIN IN MY CHEST IT'S LIKE A BOA CONSTRICTOR SQUEEZING EVERY DROP OF LIFE OUT OF MY HEART!

CABBIE: Are you sure that you don't want me to take you to the hospital?

PASSENGER: No, it's okay MMMMARRGGNNN. I think I'll be fine, NNGGGAAYYYYNNN but I don't think I can pay you. It's too painful WHHHHARRGGGGIINNNN.

CABBIE: No problem! Hope your heart attack feels better. (drives away, whistling happily)

I just can't see how he got away with it. Next time, instead of faking a heart attack, just shit your pants. They'll be eager to get rid of you, and they won't want your stinky, shitty money. It's foolproof.

Attention minions, sycophants, fans, readers, commenters, lurkers, haters, posers, and midnight tokers:

Don't forget! Tonight at 9 PM EST, Britt and I will butt heads on air during our first episode of "Clearly, you're retarded!" You can listen live online at Talkshoe.com, or download the Talkshoe application and you can chat and even call in!

This post has nothing to do with Humor-Blogs.com.

A face for radio

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Britt and I have awesome conversations all the time. They're funny, irreverent, mean, sarcastic, and thought-provoking. But since nobody is around to hear them, there's no one to remark on how fucking genius we are.

This is all changing on Wednesday nights at 9 PM EST, when Britt and I present "Clearly, you're retarded", an hour-long weekly radio show. Much like the old "Point, Counterpoint" show, each week, Britt and I will pick a topic and beat it to death with our sharp wits and sharper tongues. No sharp knives, though.

This week, our inaugural episode, we will be focusing on political correctness. When is it okay to tell someone that they're retarded? Gay? A girl?

Since this is our first show, I'd love for everyone to listen. We're going to keep it just the two of us for the first half, but then the second half will be open for phone calls from listeners.

The show is being hosted on Talkshoe at this URL: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/22186. With Talkshoe, you can listen to the show streaming live by visiting the show page, but unless you create a profile you will be unable to chat.

By registering and creating a profile, you'll be able to also download the Talkshoe application – this is a great program that allows you to listen to the show streaming live, chat with other members, and follow along very easily.

So, don't forget: Wednesday at 9 PM EST, 6 PM PST, you can overdose on Britt and Adam while listening to "Clearly, you're retarded!"
