Well, then go take a nap, graynecbeard! Maybe when you wake up you’ll be less cranky about not “getting” alternative comedy, and can go find something that you do enjoy. I’m not counting on it, though.

Well, in your case, I’d say Fielder’s mission is accomplished.

That little to do on a friday that you need to pop into every comment to register your dislike of T&E style anticomedy, huh?
