On collecting, insult comedy and Joey Greco

Hey whats up its the internet. i know this because im on the internet.

maybe this post should be directed at recent college graduates who have decided, "oh, im very successful, im going to go to south america and have an adventure." Look assholes, you dont know how to adventure. it is a fine art. a delicate blend of time managament, preternatural saavy and instinct. you need the money. yeah thats true. im not talking nuevo riche money. so when youve fucked your 4th or 5th girl downthere, youre thinking, im doing something right. talk to me when you hit double digits, or can walk in to a club or restaurant and everyone knows your gringo po dunk name, all the girls get nervous around you and dudes are giving you lots of free drugs. yeah, youll probably hangout with some artistic french girls who are romantic as hell and are so fucking cute you could die, but fuck it, if youre on the subway system in a captial city with like 3 french girls and 2 dutch girls, just fucking get off a stop or two early with out saying good bye, and go get a 40 and watch some nba in an un airconditioned dive. that or go to hooters and pay overpriced prices for crap american barfare and talk to the hooters girls. better yet, go over to a cafe con piernas and grind with some toothless sluts.

maybe your idea of a good time or "adventure" is going to a museum and hanging out like 19th century german philologists, though it probably isnt. if it was i would probably tell you where to go in La Paz, Bolivia go fraternize with labor and government officials. no you go to the streets. not because your sluming it. but because you think its cool to act all poor and eat at the disease infested mercados. you proabably wont even go to bolivia because the new president is socialist and wears fucking leather jackets instead of dark or black suits. how cool is that guy by the way? he is the fucking man. you shouldnt stop at el alto either because your shit will get mugged. no doubt.

Even still you probably wont go to RIO!!!!!! definitely not, this being the best time of year to go there. no youll hang out with some young british couple on a nasty month long paid vacation because you are sick of running into american D bags and follow them around argentina. maybe youll go bungee jumping.

maybe youll befriend some Colombians, but you definitly wont go there. try to hang out with some fucking israelis, those guys are harder than any poor rural guerilla drug mob. oh and stay out of the pacific ocean. thats my fucking ocean.

i bet you dont even know how many knife hits joey greco took or who the fuck joey greco is. look, i know who it is. you may know how many knife hits he took but you dont know his fucking story. like where did joey greco grow up? did he have any brothers and sisters? who really is joey greco?

allright, we set there? you follow? now get your ass out of the united states before theres a draft suckus.

The CEO and Operating President

Sometimes I like to engage in Instant Message conversations with people i know. sometimes they bring it, most times, they do not.

Upon such IM happenings today, my internet friend Reignman14 brought some game to the screen, I think this was pretty close to B+/A- game for my friend. i probably wouldnt grade myself as high. because i didnt make any jokes about jews.

Reignman14 (8:16:23 PM): so how's it popping? So far I've made about 550 bucks for sitting around and listening to other people talk on the phone
Reignman14 (8:16:37 PM): i should do something tonight but i don't know what. I did buy some much-needed pants
cgmca711 (8:16:50 PM): ass hole
Reignman14 (8:17:13 PM): eventually i'll need to start talking on the phone which will probably be eventually a little duller
Reignman14 (8:17:28 PM): too bad all the people in my office are male or ugly i could go for some office romance
cgmca711 (8:17:42 PM): wells fargo man, thats a sweet company, seriously
Reignman14 (8:17:51 PM): i read an article today about how e-mailing old flames just immediately leads to affairs
Reignman14 (8:18:06 PM): well i don't work for them yet...i still work for the temp agency
Reignman14 (8:18:19 PM): the other people in my office are pretty depressing. Not old, but definitely not doing anything with their lives
Reignman14 (8:18:30 PM): oh shit i gotta look for open mic stand up comedy places
cgmca711 (8:18:54 PM): yeah you do
Reignman14 (8:19:08 PM): i should get a guardian or something
cgmca711 (8:19:30 PM): i really need an mba
Reignman14 (8:19:34 PM): i'm not ure this joke will go over...
Reignman14 (8:19:35 PM): Back in the old days, first born children were valuable. Someone could offer you valuable shit, for the price of your first born kid, and you'd take it. Now they got adoption.
Reignman14 (8:20:08 PM): i don't know i mean MBA is definitely a sweet gig but you're definitely setting your life path as "sell out for the man"
cgmca711 (8:20:22 PM): definitely comedy central presents level
Reignman14 (8:20:42 PM): good enough my friend
Reignman14 (8:20:51 PM): i've been to comedy open mics they're painful
cgmca711 (8:21:07 PM): ocean lounge!
Reignman14 (8:21:15 PM): oh yeah
Reignman14 (8:21:33 PM): also i'm gonna go with some brain humor
Reignman14 (8:21:34 PM): When guys get drunk, they nail fat chicks. And when girls get drunk, they nail sleazy guys. And sleazy girls get nailed anyhow. The whole system doesn't seem fair to fat guys.
cgmca711 (8:22:24 PM): all these jobs are about software and technology, what i want to know is who is about plundering gold and buying land
cgmca711 (8:23:23 PM): this is why i need to start my own vc company
cgmca711 (8:23:49 PM): thats a keeper
Reignman14 (8:23:52 PM): vc?
cgmca711 (8:24:02 PM): venture capital
Reignman14 (8:24:19 PM): then there's the jokes I can't tell until I get a lot more physically intimidating
Reignman14 (8:24:20 PM): You know what's crazy? You look at these motorized wheelchairs…you know, they go faster than people can walk now! That doesn't seem right. It's like…you're in a wheelchair…you've been punished. You don't get to swing this into an advantage. I mean, they've already got that parking spot scam going.
Reignman14 (8:24:37 PM): you should get into cartography
Reignman14 (8:24:42 PM): that's the wave of the future
Reignman14 (8:25:06 PM): I recently saw something on TV that says 70 percent of people who have herpes, got it when their partner had no symptoms. And I guess that's an interesting stat to get people to use condoms, but I see that number differently…the way I see that, it says that 30% of people with herpes were just doin somebody with herpes! Just think…there are people out there with herpes who got it because they liked the taste. ALTERNATE PUNCHLINE: There are people out there who got herpes because they thought it was a hot look.
cgmca711 (8:25:09 PM): i actually love maps more than people
Reignman14 (8:25:11 PM): that one's the all-star
Reignman14 (8:25:22 PM): my love of cartography was so ahead of the game
Reignman14 (8:25:26 PM): way more fresh than any nikes
Reignman14 (8:26:27 PM): they do interesting stuff with maps, too. you gotta have a good idea to map
Reignman14 (8:26:39 PM): sweet my seinfeld dvd's are showing up in netflix now
cgmca711 (8:27:03 PM): id want a map of all the swimable hot springs in the western u.s.
Reignman14 (8:27:40 PM): you'd have to add what level of nudity was acceptabe
Reignman14 (8:28:26 PM): today i went to the bathroom 11 times during work
Reignman14 (8:28:31 PM): because all i do is sit there and drink tea
cgmca711 (8:29:06 PM): theres nothing like getting paid to shit
Reignman14 (8:29:34 PM): true but only two of those were shits most were light urinations
cgmca711 (8:30:56 PM): have you seen the new mtv dating show, my own
Reignman14 (8:30:57 PM): it sucks that I need to burn the commentary tracks so the seinfeld's burn pretty shitty, only like 61% integrity

Reignman14 (8:36:18 PM): my roommate is a freelance painter

Reignman14 (8:36:42 PM): but i thought the whole thing would excite your painter roots
