"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

Oh god, this is so sad. Here's the deal, schmuckface -- the whole point of why its funny is because it's antique. You simply have no idea of why anything's hilarious, which is why YOU are so hilarious. And you don't even get what I just said, which is the cream of the jest.

ReplyDeleteSays you and every washed-up comic whose act got old four decades before they died. I prefer cream to be fresh and not so old maggots won't touch it.
