Hey, locals: Our April Loser brunch is THIS Sunday at 11:45 at Founding Farmers in Park Potomac, which is just off 270 near the Beltway. We have more space reserved than RSVPs right now, so come out and have some brunch with us. It's pure socializing; scintillating repartee isn't expected. Email Kyle at brunchoflosers@gmail.com if you can make it.
I am with the person who can't eat anything with eyes. It has nothing to do with logic, I just can't do it. And to be clear, gouging out the eyes from the face would not solve the problem.
Ok, I can get the never listened to a podcast, but why no audiobooks? They're a great way to pass a long car trip or a necessary but dull chore like scrubbing toilets or folding laundry. I will admit, they are a gateway drug to podcasts though. I am a ravenous podcast and audiobook addict but it all started with audiobooks. When audible made it so easy to find podcasts through their app, I stumbled upon Season 1 of Serial and that's all it took to make me a pod addict. Those of you that aren't Gene or the submitter of the no podcast comment, what are your favorite podcasts and why? I am always looking for new ones.
2. The joke about the English restaurant customers during another epidemic. 2 guys and one’s wife. The wife goes to the powder room. Waiter appears. One orders beef tartare. Other bloke says “What about the mad cow?” Other says “She can order for herself.”
Thursday's poll asks "Which of the four above entries is best?"
I'm not an editor or English major, but this wording bothers me. They are not 'above entries', they are entries that are above (or below). So shouldn't it be "Which of the four entries above is best?"
3 things: Bear Grylls ate a fresh yak eyeball once, the vitreous fluid streaming down his chin. He said it was awful, but proteinous as a survival food.
I would presume this particular crowd probably has a very, very long list of things they find more titillating than any news of OJ. But then, I wouldn't have predicted the public's widespread interest in the first place.
If readers here joyfully engage with poop and pubic hair, the mention of a death would likely elicit only a figurative shrug before the avid search for excreta and previous "wash your mouth out with soap" content continues.

Well done Gary Crockett.
The name Gary Crockett always makes me think of an old lead singer for a group called the Union Gap.
Agreed!

Radio Lab has been my favorite for several years.

I commented in this thread on April 11, but my comment doesn't appear. Are comments also subject to judgement after I submit them?
Late to the party, but the Manet poem is my favorite

I love loose satire, like. “ ____ food sux”. By the way, I still love a 100-yr-old egg and tripe like I’ve had in Ctown. And octopus.

3. Norm MacDonald on OJ in a noinking obituary. “You gotta hand it to OJ, he must love his kids. After all, they’re still alive.”

In the "Not Seeing is Believing" category, the um...sculpture, "I Am," memorialized here as an Honorable Mention, should not be seen to fully appreciate it. So, here's a link to it in its original gallery setting I found. https://i0.wp.com/culturacolectiva.com/wp-content/uploads/images/SBWX4QWW3NB3PEG3NHJOLHADEI.jpg?ssl=1
"By the way, OJ just died" is probably not the best way to maintain reader engagement, but I appreciate it.
Who does it not engage?
Engagement as in "oh my, should I keep reading The Gene Pool right now or is there breaking news elsewhere?"
Of course a death from cancer isn't exactly breaking news, but what could be more titillating to America than OJ content?
Reminds me who said, “I’ve never killed a man, but I’ve read some obituaries with great satisfaction.”
I would presume this particular crowd probably has a very, very long list of things they find more titillating than any news of OJ. But then, I wouldn't have predicted the public's widespread interest in the first place.
Somebody should go actively search for the real obituary.
If there is an afterlife and OJ did do it, will he have to spend eternity in the back seat of a slow moving Bronco on an LA freeway?
