Duers that should be stand up comedians?
Feeling drunk and emotional this evening.

Gotta say. JVS, Canuckamok, Matcom, Forrestgump and skittles crack me up.

There was a duer here called "Wang" that was a comedian, aint' heard hide nor hair from him in forever though.

But my delivery would be horrible.

14. Oh. Many people do routines in the shower and they can deliver.

5. How does one becone a comic.
Although I'm not sure I could do it. My life is not interesting enough. Unless they're looking for dead-baby jokes. I got plenty of those

7. whoisalhedges and thebigidea would be thee ideal candidates for such
a project....However hedges is funnier online than he is in person (oh, how he'll beat me up for saying that) where you can't be distracted by his rodential sideburns, his propensity to flatulence (not funny when you're downwind), and his extreme denim-wearingness (I swear even the man's tighty-wighties are stone-washed)........and thebigidea's best ideas cannot be restrained by mere standup (he'd be better off with a large crew and a budget).

12. It's funny though...
A couple of those DUers I know off the boards, albeit in very different ways, and it's so funny how people have these personas here that in one aspect are similar and in others, more depth or kindness beyond that of what we see only here.
Anyway, it's nice to have been able to meet or continue to meet, some really funny, smart, and good people here (and you are included there too :)). And you'll have to excuse me HEyHEY, I'm completely sober, but still a bit emotional at the moment.
