Just For Hangovers

Downtime from a visit to Montreal for the Just for Laughs Festival.

(All the comics I used to work with) + (3 am last call) = rough mornings.

Highlights:

-- the Green Room show in a scuzzy section of Montreal at about 1 am, where Paul Provenze hosts Lewis Black, Louis CK, Billy bloody Connolly and Eddie Izzard on couches, getting drunk and shooting the shit. The line of the night, however, went to Kids in the Hall's Dave Foley, who wound up on stage at one point. After Louis CK revealed that he'd lived in Mexico City until he was seven years old:

Dave: So you're really a Mexican?
Louis: Yes.
Dave: All these years, I've been treating you like you're white.
Louis: Thanks.
Dave: Yeah, but now I feel noble.

When I say the neighborhood was sketchy -- the theater was opposite a strip bar named "Pussy Corps!" As we got out of the van:

Tammy: What the hell's a "pussy corps?"
John: Larger than a Pussy Platoon, but smaller then a Pussy Brigade. (silence) Just for me then? Okay.

--The Family Guy Live show, mostly for Seth McFarlane's vocal talent. Not only can he hot-swap between voices, he can do it during a song. You have no idea how hard that is unless, well, you do, in which case you know exactly how insanely hard that is.

Regular dispatches from the Nerd Prom all this week, I hope. I'll be there for a couple signings, times to be posted.

I've seen that strip club. I live on the Canadian border and go to Montreal for shows and concerts.

I tagged along to one at Le Medley and on the walk back to the Metro, took this picture:

I also post at the Blue Beetle thread at Something Awful and would like to say that I greatly enjoyed issue 16.

Good stuff, John!

As A Few Good Men taught us, always respect the code: "Unit, Corps, God, Country." Your unit will thank you for a visit to the Corps.

Erik said...

Haha, amazing! I have cross posted on my blog in order to fully experience the blogosphere.

Shan said...

Corps is also French for "body" though I'm still not sure how that fits.

Just thought I'd point out that a corps is actually much larger than a Brigade. In the US we have about 10-15 brigades to a corps; from my limited research, it looks like the Canadian Army is small enough that it doesn't have any corps sized elements. Just my little piece of input from Iraq. Great line either way, though.

I know, I know, but I didn't want rewrite the line as originally spoken. Much like the Tyrone converations, I present things as-is as much as possible.

You know, looking at it, there's an interesting illustration of what goes through one's head when you're improv-ing. This is roughly how it went as we got out of the van.

First thought -- "Pussy corp. Military. Need other military words."

Second thought -- "Brigade. Division. Bigger then a Pussy Brigade and Pussy division?"

Third thought -- "No, needs to sit in the middle for the triple. Larger then a pussy brigade, smaller then a pussy division."

Fourth thought -- "No, 'division' won't sound military to somebody who doesn't know terms. Another word."

Fifth thought -- "Larger than a Pussy Squad, but smaller than a Pussy Brigade."

Sixth thought -- "No. Pussy Platoon."

All this occurs nowhere near as coherently as recorded and all in about a second. But that's how the brain works.

Apparently they feature Jessica Rabbit.

Still doesn't beat the best strip club name ever:

The late,great Akron establishment known as Dirty Mike's Electrical Pub.

Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.
