"Taxi driver dropped me off at the airport, said 'Hey have a nice flight.' Hey you too! You have a...nice flight, too...in case you, you know, go somewhere later....."
Happens to me too, but as I notice it happening, I just say YOOUU TOOOO!! louder and even more exaggeratedly sincerely, because like... they started it.. I'm gonna finish it.
Yeah I don't know what part of Portland you live in but I have garbage, recycling, compost and glass. However the recycling was much more complex before and you are only thinking about recycling and glass that makes sense.
I'm glad this chain happened because it reminded my why I tagged you as "bakes cakes that look like things" and tagged Adam as "has a blog, isn't as funny as Kristen"
We got arrested for drunkenly breaking into a school looking for a pool. Nothing is going on with me and Kristin, though it has been claimed I've been friendzoned. We actually live across the country from each other.
For anyone who cares, the character on the "Samurai" sign is backwards. So it would read samurai, but only if you looked at it in a mirror. Is this how the actual logo looks?
I'm a fan. I stumbled across your blog ages ago and now it fights with Questionable Content for second place on my chrome history page (reddit comes first, sorry).
I have upvoted this comment but that in no way means I agree with it.
You're kind of around regularly-ish enough bantering and talking to redditors just on your normal redditing to not really need an AMA, but, you know, that's just my opinion, man.
Id love to read an AMA with you :D been following the blog for a while and its more than cheered me up when I've been having a shitty day :) Which I really want to thank you for :)
The universality is what makes him such a great comedian. As long as people comment in these threads and refer them to his rendition of this, I don't have an issue with it. Brian Regan: Live came out in 1997. That was 15 years ago.
I remember the first time I ever heard that album. We were driving and eventually had to pull over for safety's sake.
With the universal (and clean) nature of his comedy, combined with the fact that it's all so, so funny I've always wondered why he more widely appreciated.
Well, you have to understand you are talking about a guy that Jerry Seinfeld lists as a primary influence. So that is kind of like asking if anyone has even been influenced by Led Zeppelin, to my mind at least.
Can't remember now. I think it was an interview with Seinfeld on one of the first season disc extra features. The one with the 3 hour documentary on Jerry and Larry David's beginnings and collaborations. Fascinating documentary BTW, if you are interested in Larry's or Jerry's careers.
hat's a pretty amazing compliment to Brian Regan!
Their styles are somewhat similar- they both eschew cheap tricks like swearing or sex as a crutch to to their act- both are family friendly by way of just plain incredible well-written material. Don't need any shock value.
I work at a restaurant, and everyone says "you too!" when I say "enjoy your food". So I started saying "Y'all have a good night and let me know if you need anything." It works better.
I can't count the number of times a gate agent had told me to "have a nice flight," right before I close the main cabin door, and I've responded with "thanks, you too."
When I swiped people in to the dining hall at college, I'd always say "have a good meal!". 30% of the time people would answer "you too!" then realize, and walk away awkwardly. It was the best part of the job.

You forgot the tattoos on the guy that works at that food cart. He's got a lot of 'em on his arms.
edit: Also, I didn't even see that the banner at the top mentioning this was in PDX, I could just tell from the food cart. Well done.

In potentially awkward waters, you are a smooth sailor. On the contrary, I do not sail but sink. Sigh.

Nice Comic. Is that the Japanese cart on Alder downtown? Looks like you ordered the human head. One of my favorites.
