To Be Alive
by Gregory Orr

To be alive: not just the carcass
But the spark.
That's crudely put, but...
If we're not supposed to dance,
Why all this music?

[Tago Mago]

When I was learning to ride motorcycles they always told us don’t look at what you don’t want to hit. Commonly known as target fixation.

@Matt amen

Ricky is probably my favorite comedian right now. He cuts straight through the BS with perfect wit.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Mizmazzle mine too

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle I've been a fan over the years,but for some reason I just couldn't get through his most recent special.

[GraemeE]

One of my altime favorite Ricky Gervais "jokes"(obviousely I'm a little biased ️)

Pretty sure he didn't actually write this one but he told it on comedians/coffee/cars with Seinfeld

[Mizmazzle]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot oh nice man! How’d that encounter occur?

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 I can agree. Didn’t find his latest special to be his best, but I still enjoyed it. I mostly just love his take on things and his overall presence as a comedian. Takes the piss out of the A listers and doesn’t let woke BS cloud the reality of being a good person.

[Matt]

Agreed. I love his appearances on talk shows and awards shows but his standups, especially the new one, don’t hit the same way. The holocaust joke is a classic. As holocaust jokes go that is.

Also, I watched the new Chapelle special and liked it. I think he’s leaning into activist monologues a bit more but I respect that and feel like the times call for it more than before. It def had the feel of a quickly put together set but if that’s his B game then I’d say he’s still got it.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt it’s kind of funny how I praise Ricky and he often talks about how wealthy he is. But when Chapelle does it, for some reason it rubs me the wrong way. I do love Chapelle. But he’s seemed to have lost a lot of his humility. What I do know about myself is that if I had that money and fame I would be insufferable. So I guess I shouldn’t let his bragging bother me too much.

[Matt]

I’m already insufferable so I can’t imagine how bad it would be if I was loaded.
