Review #126: My friend Nate, or GanjaRanja
So today at work a customer gave my buddy Nate a bit of pot as a gift of some sort. Nate is straight-edge, the coolest straight edge kid I know, but since he’s the only one I can geek out about comics with, that’s not saying much. Since he knows I like to smoke the marijuana, he gave it to me. I told him I loved him.
I don’t go looking for pot. I never buy it. But when it comes my way I don’t turn it down. And unless I’m at a party and have been drinking, I can only get high by myself. Some social paranoia thing, I don’t know. So now, hopefully PBS will air Red Dwarf and not try to raise any money for their free programming like they did last week*, and I will get to eat my fat steak, stoned and with beer. As to how good the pot is, I probably won’t report on that because it all kind of feels the same to me.
*Red Dwarf was NOT on again!!! It was a fucking Cream concert. Thanks, you old fossils.
Note from Inkstand: I promise that after this post I will stop using this forum to talk about myself, but start reviewing actual things again…in addition to talking about myself.

[…] Every once in a while I catch SNL and am shortly after reminded of why I no longer watch it. Fortunatley tonight that reminder came in the monologue, right at the beginning. I did not know who the man doing stand-up was, but my guess was that he was the winner of Last Comic Standing. Either that or someone who was made famous for some other reason, but wanted to do a comic routine for his mono. Apparently Dane Cook, who is the lead in a new movie, Employee of the Month, co-starring Jessica Simpson, actually makes his living as a comedian and has even had an HBO special. This baffles me becasue he was not the slightest bit funny. He started on how negative people like to gossip and how they love company and stuff. I am a negative person and he must have meant negative people who are negative for attention, not negative people who actually hate others and don’t want attention. I am not offended by this because I’m sure no one will remember his set. I mean the audience was only kind of politley laughing. He also went on the humorously describe how negative people describe another’s suicide. That’s fine with me, just make it funny. He did get one laugh out of me in a joke involving California driving laws. But it’s not funny enough for me to go into. And sometimes he acts really gay. It looks like Cook will be in the new Transformers movie to be released next year. It’s also being directed by Michael Bay. With this combo, I’m sure another of my childhood memories will be shat upon. Update:I told my friend Nate about this review and he said that Dane Cook was really funny and he liked him a lot. I’m rethinking being friends with him. […]
