On Saturday morning, I went surfing and my wife went for a run. She took a 12 minute break from her run to watch me catch a couple waves. Our marriage is ROCK FUCKING SOLID!

I am not saying that the endpoint is completely equal between the sexes. But in terms of barrier to entry - stand up comedy is as based on your actual talent (versus external factors) as any other career. Humor is subjective, but if you are talented, you should make people laugh.

How about the long answer?

Isn't stand-up comedy one of the most egalitarian fields to make it no matter your gender, sexual orientation, race, socioeconomic background, etc?

I honestly don't understand how someone can sit down to write a novel without knowing what the fuck he or she is going to write about. It's not like someone embarks on writing a script, and says, well I'll figure what the fuck it is about by halfway through the second act.

Can someone describe to me how exactly Margaret shorted the stock and the strategy she implemented? I don't even contribute to my 401k, so naturally, the stock market confuses the shit out of me.

"As is a similar timeline the Village Voice ran last year about allegations against R. Kelly, while we’re on the topic.)"

Nepotism: "The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs."

"Her side of the story is so relentlessly unhappy here that it’s almost a blessing the show isn’t told entirely from her perspective, because it would simply be too much."

I'm somewhere between the reviewer and a lot of the commentors below. I'm in B-/B territory with this one. Great premise, great opening, some good jokes peppered through, the dick flying off gag was perfect south park, but it still felt a little unfulfilled and that it kind of just meandered along. They could have…

Yeah that's fine, they're just not invited over for dinners, birthdays, holidays, tailgates, watching games at the house or any other event/party where they demand additional food be made to their specifications.

"I'm thinking a cross between my Before series and Bad News Bears. My working outline is the film is set on one Spring afternoon in El Paso. UTEP. It's hot. They're out of contention. It's a pointless game, against I don't know, Rice or something. The first baseman is an English Lit major. The catcher is a quantum…

I like how the flashback sheriff called his Wife by Mrs. and then their last name. Nucky has mimicked that affectation with women. It appears he mirrors everything after the sheriff, all the way to how he interacts and converses with children.

"This is a vastly outdated term that is not being thrown around on the streets to abuse native american people"

That was in 2005. His analogies are more likely to be about youth soccer games now.

Fair enough.

Most couples where both people are celebrities have a larger talent gap than Silverman/Kimmel.
