RIP Garry Shandling

Comedy, and the world, lost a great one today.

Everything about Garry’s turn on “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” from the title of the episode to the discussion of Robin Williams dying “so young in his 60s,” is painfully prophetic and poetic. A must-watch.

We’ll miss you, Garry.

(And for the record, Garry– I like “Go fuck yourself,” too. You’re my hero.)

Yeah Something Like That

Kid: “I can’t believe you ran such a long race in that cold weather yesterday!”

Me: “Hah, I know! It was VERY cold and windy!”

Kid: “You must have been FREEZING!”

Me: “I sure was!”

Kid: “Yeah, but I bet you didn’t even care because you were so happy that you worked hard and reached your goal!”

Me: “Exactly!”

Eh. I was pretty fucking miserable.

Ok, I get it. Not a fan.

Me (excitedly): “Oh! Wanna watch ‘Girls?'”

Eric (adamant): “No. Absolutely not.”

Me: “Oh, come on.”

Eric (more adamant): “NO.”

Me: “I don’t understand why you have such a problem with it. ”

Eric: “‘Girls’ is what they’re now showing at Guantanamo Bay. Instead of water boarding.”

Me: “Ok, ok.”

Eric: “Lena Dunham is terrible.”

Me: “I get it.”

Eric: “And Shoshana should be Sho-shot.”

Me: “Shoshana is the likable one! It’s Allison Williams’s character who’s the worst!”

Eric: “The one who had her asshole eaten out on camera? Yeah, I bet her dad is REAL proud. Look at him now. She gets her ass eaten out and the next thing you know he’s lying to America and getting fired. Look what ‘Girls’ did to HIM.”

Me: “Ok, we won’t watch it. Christ.”
