Rubber Chicken Flambe

[Butterfly Man]

dead fish society

Hamachi I love you
Ika begin to say
Ebi time I see you
You tako my heart away

Ikura my broken heart
Now that uni me
Anago where you go
Toro and steal it for free

[Magic Mickey]

Taxi, Thanks for the tin foil idea. I think its worth tring at least. I mean, what will I loose, some tin foil and a rubber chicken I'm not using for anything better at the moment. Oh, and Doctor Eric, I apreciate your honesty and agree that its not worth to much time but if I can get it to work quickly, Great!

If someone asks you for water, spare him the insight on why he should't be thirsty.

In the good, the bad and the ugly, you learn that giving someone a glass of water when they are extremely dehydrated can kill them.

A better analogy, may be, if your pal has just eaten mushrooms and they want to borrow a gun to shoot all the snakes, you would say, "I don't have a gun, because I'm a hippie."

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Yeah, and in Shrek, you learn that the gingerbread man wasn't a sellout, but I still say that the guy asked for help lighting a rubber chicken on fire, not opinions on the wisdom behind it, and quelling his creative urge is useless.

The great thinkers of our time will doubtless back both of you up on the dubious nature of this banty inferno effort, but better to give the guy a clue on the physics, or back off. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it, death by water or no.

For a fresh analogy, if some young upstart had asked me about how to juggle pancakes, and I in my ignorance had discouraged the creative act, claiming it was, say, a lame, transparent attempt at originality, where would the bored San Francisco street walker be? Where would cheap guys bring their dates, to kill a little time for a buck?

They’d be driven, pankakeshowless, dateless, to Photoshop, to create their own private ladies nights, and that just wouldn’t be pretty.

[Doctor Eric]

You're an idiot.

Stop comparing ONE JOKE (having a rubber chicken catch on fire whilst juggling a bunch of other crap)
With Scot's entire ACT.

1. You're just inflating Scot's ego
2. The statement was mine. Not Scot's, so get off of your ass and attack me.
3. Stop calling the idea original. It's pretentious enough to call it an IDEA.
4. Don't defend yourself, you're !@#?ing wrong.
5. No one was "quelling creative urges." Shut the !@#? up and go understudy for Dr. Phil.
6. Maybe if you listened to similar criticism, you'd be funnier.

and

7. You're welcome.

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Eric, I need to tell you something you should've learned from Star Wars. I am your father.

[scot]

case in point

[gav]

i bet you're single scot

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Eric, your bad boy/ angry young impossibologist slash and burn posting can get old, after the first 2 or 300, and your "Hey what about attacking ME" whine is pathetic.

I'm about as close to wrong on this one as you are to retirement, so keep working, and in terms of being judged by you on how funny I am, give me a lesson, once you've racked up 20 years.

Meanwhile, grow some compassion, and shut the @#$ up yourself.


And Scott,

Suck it.

[scot]

I bet you're a mentalist, gav. I'm a virgin too.

To butt in on your private conversation, I've never seen 20 years make a comedian better, but I have seen 20 years make a comedian worse. Neither of you has really proven that you are a creative comedy force.

I side with Eric because I have seen him be funny, and I believe he was trying to help the guy. I think Karl was trying to look smart, and feel good about being encouraging.

If someone tells me that a joke is no good, I take it with a grain of salt, but I still take it. If you don't learn from other peoples' mistakes, you'll end up crap. That's why I watch "Behind the Music."

[gav]

no, I'm just mental.
we all just want to help the guy, but to say an idea is crap before someone has had the chance to develop it is not very constructive. I think it would be great if he set the head of the chicken on fire and then put it out by eating the fire. then he could say 'wow, that was the first time I ever had to deep throat a Flaming cock!'
Shit, I may even take that bit for myself!

[Doctor Eric]

clap. clap.

See, NOW the joke has moved on. Good job Karl.

Oh, I mean Gav.

That's right, Taxi said absolutely nothing useful.

[scot]

Or, he could say; "You should have been a weather vane."

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Nothing useful? Car antenna retractable wick? Fucking brilliant, that.

Me? Trying to look smart? Probably, but there's no lack of that in this thread.

I know I'm beating a dead chicken here, against deaf ears at that, but there's more at stake than either of you are taking into account. You were both on my side of this same argument in the kids hecklers thread. What happens if Magic Mickey abandons the scheme, on your advice? (Since "idea" is too pretentious a word. Look it up, you thundering moron.)

If we have to fire this rubber bird out of a fucking cannon, complete with miniature goggles and a cape, with lit sparklers crammed up it's ass and a Tom Comet ball of fire finale, it will be well worth the effort, if it saves the world from one more card trick, or linking fucking rings.

[gav]

I think the dare devil chicken club already fire a rubber chicken from a canon, not sure if they have the little goggles and cape though. We could have just supplied this guy with a whole new show.
What's our cut?
