fdr vs. mitch hedberg
if missing search : “an escalator can never break – mitch hedberg: comedy central”
mitch hedberg’s comedy is not for everyone, but neither is a martini. a very different kindda humor. very stupid but often very profound. rest in peace brother. mitch often joked about drugs, it kindda dark that mitch died at the young age 37 because of those same drugs… and self induced gun-shot to the head. by xy

marie antoinette – about the breast mold
there’s a little story behind the champagne glass, dating back to greek mythology. the first “coupe” was said to be molded from the breast of helen of troy. the greeks believed that wine drinking was a sensual experience, and it was only fitting that the most beautiful woman take part in shaping the chalice.
and while were on that topic of marie antoinettes breast – might as well watch this bit of history on number 16 – “the really bad sex life (and reign) of marie antoinette & louis XVI | versailles” –from absolute history
centuries later, marie antoinette, queen of france, decided it was time to create a new champagne glass. she had coupes molded to her own breasts, which changed the shape of the glass entirely, since marie antoinette was – shall we say- better endowed than helen of troy.
there’s lots of versions of this story floating around. a writer by the name of maurice des ombiaux bestows the honor on no less a personage than helen of troy. supposedly the gods were so enamored of helen’s chichibangas that they decided to have the shepherd paris make a wax cast, whence to make goblets. quoth maurice:
“helen appeared with her attendants, looking as radiant as phoebe among the stars…. the veil which covered her bosom was lifted and one of the two globes was revealed, pink as the dawn, white as the snows of mount rhodopus, smooth as the goat’s milk of arcadia…. with wax provided by the golden daughters of hymettus, the shepherd paris … took the cast of the breast, which looked like a luscious fruit on the point of falling into a gardener’s hand. when paris had removed the wax cast, the attendants hastened to replace the veil over helen’s gorgeous breast, but not before her admirers had glimpsed a teat whose freshness was as tempting as a strawberry.”
clearly, this was a woman who made a good first impression. we have also heard that four porcelain champagne glasses molded from the breast of marie antoinette were kept at the queen’s dairy temple at the chateau de rambouillet, and that one remains today with the antique company of new york, inc. looking at the question objectively, i think we’d have to agree that the female breast, however interesting in situ, would make for a singularly misshapen champagne glass. but you know how it is with these male fantasies. by pp

tobias wong’s witty cooking mittens for final home
i mean who doesn’t cook and smoke at the same time?
and no tobias did not die from smoking… *that said smoking does kill – we have all stopped smoking and you should too!
to be honest i cant remember if these were actually “cooking mittens” or just cold weather mitts… but i remember seeing these at final home and thinking they were hilarious. but not $300 hilarious. they were made of shinny porous material which made me think they were heat-safe, cooking gloves, but it could be that they were made of rain jacket material also! in any case very funny – very cool. we miss you tobias… you shouldn’t have taken yourself out like that. by ac
ardman creature comforts: oldie but goodie
the voices are real people interviewed (man on the street style) then animated to a specific animal delivering brilliance in comedy
the original creature comforts (short film) was five minutes and a few seconds long and was conceived and directed by nick park and produced by aardman animations, featuring the voices of british non-actors in the same vein as the “man on the street” vox pop interviews. it was produced as part of a series called lip synch for BBC channel 4. the film won nick park the academy award for best animated short film in 1991.
the film shows various animals in a zoo being interviewed about their living conditions. these include a family of polar bears, tracey, a depressed female gorilla, a brazilian puma, a maternal brown four-eyed opossum, and a hippopotamus calf who complain about the cold weather, the poor quality of their enclosures and the lack of space and freedom. by cm

“…i mention my girls already they’re my they’re my stepdaughters i’m a stepdad stepdad took over the lease on a couple of girls few years back. thank you very much other other step parents here any other broken homes? few? go ahead you were able to come out where’s the where’s the step that out somebody raise your hand your stepdad right back there thing i said raise your hand you clap i mean yeah still appreciate. how many stuff kids you have sir one grand you are you and your wife gonna have more do you think got one on the way congratulations good for you is that amazing it’s amazing. i think that’s fun i would love to have more — i would love to have more enough i would probably love him more than the old ones do you think that that would be true i mean probably. of course not on purpose, of course you would do your best to love them exactly the same. and they would never even know unless they watch this special.
i would do my best to love them exactly the same we’re just admitting that i’m a human and there’s a small chance that i would love the new ones more and there’s nothing that i could do about it. and for those of you looking at me being judgmental right now, why don’t you pretend for a moment do you spent your whole life wanting to have a boat you wanted to grow up and be a boat owner and then one year you married someone the had a boat it was everything you thought it was gonna be when you loved that boat and you helped take care of it and then the next year you made your own boat using nothing by your genitals. which one are you gonna be more excited about? it’s all i’m trying to say it’s not i don’t i don’t even think it makes you a bad person i think is just a pride of workmanship, i think.” enjoy by sv
