One of my favorite Simpsons bits of all time. God, I miss the seasons 2-10 era of that show.
This parody is so accurate and good, it actually wouldn’t be any better if Ira Glass and Terry Gross had done it themselves (pun intended?).
Part one of a four-part series wherein Louie talks at length about the writing, directing and brainstorming for one of the best shows on television, Louie. First, if you’re not watching this show, you’re missing out. Second, if you’re watching the show, read this immediately, it’s great stuff.
I especially enjoy the new version of try… catch blocks:
would_you_mind {
// Code here
} actually_i_do_mind (Exception £e) {
// Politely move on
cheerio('Message');
}
Vastly more polite and upbeat indeed.
Nothing Can (via thappiness)
Ever heard of war? That keeps plenty of people who love other people away. Remember that whole period in the late 1930s and early 1940s when young, married men were writing letters to their wives and saying things like, “The war rages on. I’m terrified but the commander says we’ll pull through. Oh, dearest Agnes, I think of you daily and wish to place my hand upon your fertile bosom once more. But the war, Agnes. The war keeps me away. Even though I love you. Because love cannot create a magical plane that will at once destroy all the Nazis and fly me back to you so that I may touch your bosom and also your other parts which a gentleman like I must never put to parchment. Because that magical plane doesn’t exist. And so I fight, here, in this war, away from you.” Yeah, it’s called history.
Also, if he doesn’t like you, try chaining him to a chair in your basement. Worked wonders for me when my wife kept trying to leave right after she got pregnant. She kept claiming it wasn’t mine and that some guy “Rick” was the real father. How “Rick” was a doctor and was so much better than me. Well, it took “Rick” three whole days to alert the police so how smart could he really be?
I’m glad to be writing at That Isn’t Art again. I missed it so much.

Talking Funny, Part 1 of 4
Comedy’s biggest names—Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, and Louis CK—sit down for a revealing (and hilarious) chat about comedy, discussing how they first got into the business, the merits of on-stage profanity, and the science behind getting a laugh.
This is my favorite kind of thing. I could watch these guys talk about comedy for days. Watch all four parts, you’ll be glad you did.
