    I went to a gallery showing of his paintings and was surprised at how really not awful they were and they were not, as I expected, painted on velvet.

    I think Larry the Cable Guy would be the first to tell you that Pinot noir is definitely not the wine to drink with foie gras. He's picky like that.

    @elinorwhyme: Well, it all depends on how it's served. Yes, it is often best accompanied by a white wine or perhaps a port or some other dessert wine, but if it's served at dinner then pinot noir is is one of the highest recommendations. I'm almost ashamed that I know this.

    @The Cajun Boy: No need to be ashamed, like kind of knowledge is just an appreciation of life. Anyway my rule is when in doubt, champagne, champagne, champagne! Or prosecco anyway.

    @elinorwhyme: This "when in doubt" theory led to a tumultuous Friday night-before-last that I did not wake up from until Sunday morning. Inexplicably I still maintain this is good advice.

    And sweet Jesus, does that picture have to be so enormous on the front page? It effectively scared the shit out of me, so well done, Night Man.

    @Nice Beaver:
    Actually, the hardest part of knowing things like that is telling your parents how loosely you use the verb "to know". It breaks a mom's heart to know her baby reifies his tastes and attitudes.

    @Natasha VC: Well, no the article is from Oct. 2007 as well. Also, you left out Letterman, Ben Stiller and Leno from their list. The picture version even says of Leno, "With 2 years left to go on his Tonight Show reign"...

    Not trying to be a nudge, but look at the byline:

    Mike B is way great but his popularity seems to be concentrated in NY, no? LA commenters?

    Whereas Tom Papa who is INSANELY funny has no real audience outside of the Laugh Factory on Sunset.

    I watched the Chris Rock clip followed immediately by the Dane Cook clip -- and bias notwithstanding, there is no fucking contest. I was having a hard time breathing I was laughing so hard at Chris Rock ... The Dane Cook bit, I cut it off about one minute in.. it was fucking unwatchable. Come on, a whole bit about falling into a lion den at the zoo.. "lulz", no.

    El Camino is the academic decathalon champeen many years running (except last year?) and so I associate it with bright shiny people. Even here on this grey-backed, black-margined blog, and despite your dun-tinted avatar, one can tell you are bright shiny people.

    Oh gods, Jeff Dunham and Larry the Cable Guy. *facepalm*

    Jeff Dunham I just don't like that much, he's not really funny to me but a very talented performer. I have to give him that. "Larry," on the other hand, is a manipulative audience-hating douchebag with strong vitriol for the people he mocks with his character and act. Guy's a disgrace.
