PUNT & TJ's Bogus Adventure

[agent_PUNT]

There is a plan in the work ups that will see me drive from Ottawa, to Toronto, to Pittsburgh, to Philly and finally to NYC.

The plan right now is to pick up TJ in Pittsburgh and head on down the road to NYC for the live taping of Louis CK's HBO stand-up.

This is happening late March, early April...date TBA still.

If anyone is interested in joining please e-mail

blowupthemoon(@)hotmail.com

remove the brackets.... I didn't want spam n shit.

Thanks!

P.S. If Tj doesn't like you then I don't like you. So you won't be invited without his approval.

(oh and he doesn't know I'm posting this so don't mention anything when he gets in the car)

[teengirlsquad]

you can pick me up in toronto if i decide to drop out of school (ill keep you updated).

[Brain Stew]

This sounds pretty cool and would be something really fun to do.

[klaus_kinski]

As this event approaches, keep me posted. I live in NYC and would love to hang out with you guys and see Louis CK. Even if you don't want to hang with me, I'll still be going to Louis CK where I'll kick all of your asses for not wanting to hang with me. You fellas like to drink? I do. A lot. And often. Oh, and swing by Texas and pick up SBJ.

The only catch is that I may be in Germany and/or Belgium sometime in March and/or April. Hopefully everything will work out in terms of timing.

Hey, guys, how's this for a plan: Instead of me moving to Phoenix in a few months, I just keep saving money up and then blowing it on trips to places? Does that sound fun for anyone else? Does this make me a bad person if I don't really want to get a real job and go to school and all that? Your idea sounds a lot more fun.

[klaus_kinski]

I support that which will get you to NYC

[agent_PUNT]

If you can survive without a shitty job do it.

Jules if you can make it to NYC for THIS trip that would be cool. If not me and Terris (who?) will come down and see you southern belles. Right Terris? (who?)

Ofcourse, This NYC thing is all hanging on getting tickets for the show...


No offense but I'm not driving 1,200 miles to have a beer with Klaus...and possibly to get murdered by 5InchTaint.

Okay that was a little offensive.

Wow and all my real friends are getting married and buying houses and shit. Poor fuckers.

[Trevor K]

What kind of vehicle do you plan to have for this adventure?

I will be in Chicago then and in Chicago for a while.

[tjamick]

i still need to get the money together. i'm looking for a job right now, and the show is around my birthday, so i may see if i can get the cash as an early present.
also, i need to find out if the show is 18+ or not. if it is, i'll only be able to go if its after april 4th.

I don't think so. I can't see how people can be content with a career and a family and all that shit. I can't stand people who talk 'shop' and talk about their jobs. I hate talking about my job. It doesn't DEFINE me. I don't think I'm what I declare on a W-4 or what hangs on my office walls. If I couldjust travel I would and if I had money to ensure everyone I knew even you guys never had to work and could just have a fun I would. :(

you just summed up my mood for the last few months.

[apotatojudge]

Allright, Stabby, Cpt, let's get to moving in together (let's buy an RV and live in it - travel the world!)

And I like Stabby out of character, dick. I actually did a search on him yesterday (bored) to try and determine when he did actually turn into a 'gimmick.'

[terris]

i'm down for this nick, pick me up in the hammer on your way down, we can take turns driving too pitsburgh, and obviously i'm (who?) down for the trip to the south, assuming you mean my birthday invasion of l.a

I want to live in the RV too.

[klaus_kinski]

Yeah, me too. New York stinks.

[CptPlanet]

whoa whoa whoa julie treebird klaus who said you guys were invited? just kidding treebird and klaus.

[klaus_kinski]

I can't believe you almost have 2300 posts, Cpt. That's like incredible man. I can't fathom posting that many. Perhaps someday I will reach that mark, but I think it'll take years and years and tears.

And you're funny

2300 - 306 = 1994 posts remaining.

1994/0.97 = 2055.67 days to reach 2,300.

2055.67/365 = 5.63 years to reach 2,300.

testing revealed that men weep an average of 1.4 times a month...

1.4 x 12 months = 16.8 crying sessions/year

16.8 x 5.63 years = 94.584 crying sessions to reach 2,300 posts.



In conclusion, at your current pace you should reach 2,300 posts in late October 2010.

And you will have cried approx. 95 times.

Pussy.

Probably the most amazing analysis I've seen on this board. What amazing attention to detail. Good work. That is really funny/sad/disturbing

Then it's settled! Pick me up on friday.

[Treebeard]

I call Sunday move-in. I have a LOT of stuff to pack and bring with me.

[Stabby]

Well I mean seriously, what else are we gonna do with our lives? I've only been out of college for 2 years and I hear people talk about how they have been working their job for the last 20 years or whatever. Twenty years is a long fucking time. If I had to even entertain the idea that I would be living in the same house, in the same town, working the same job every week for the next twenty years I would drown myself in my pool this weekend.

You have a pool? Stop complaining.

[Tommy]

I'd go... but no spooning.

Actually, being the super-duper importanto full-time employee at Best Buy, I'm not sure if I could take a leave of absence.

But same as klaus_kinski said, come to New York and we'll kick your asses... and/or hang out

[5InchTaint]

Let me know if/when this is happening so I can murder you all.

What's the alternative? Living with your parents? Working shitty customer service / food service jobs? Moving from shitty apartment to shitty apartment? The unfortunate reality is that the only way to survive in today's world is with consistent, secure, full-time work. I mean you could gamble and try to be a successful rock star, actor or an artist and do very little yet still maintain a huge income. But the chances of that are slim. Also, believe it or not, some people love what they do even after 20 years. Sure, some people fall into a rut a hold a decent paying but miserable job for 20 or 30 years. But more often than not people who have been doing their job for 20 or 30 years are hainging in there because they love what they do. So listen up BUTM kiddies. You're going to have to get a job someday. Suck it up and deal. Plan for your future now because one day your parents will be dead and you will not be prepared to fend for youselves.

Love
Klaus the Wise

[5InchTaint]

This sums it all up for you BUTMers.
My response to you (http://home.comcast.net/~inhibitors/mp3/my_response.wav)

[5InchTaint]

Seriously though, I'd like to hang out with you waste products....and murder you.

that's a slap in the face to the 95% of the world is not earning as much money as you are.

Everyone's definition of "surviving" is different.

Sure everyone wants to feel safe and secure. Everyone on this planet should be able to eat and sleep in comfort... but I don't think owning 300 dvd's and a big screen tv are about surviving.

[klaus_kinski]

Like I said, the unfortunate reality is that the only way to survive in today's world is with consistent, secure, full-time work. I didn't say we were all surviving, nor did I say it was easy to get gainfully employed, nor did I say life is fair for a majority of the population. As a matter of fact, I would suggest that the fact that we live in a work-centric and greedy society is actually the root of the worst impoverishment. It creates more losers than winners. Anyhow, the last thing I want is for you to think I was being snobbish.

More to the point, I was simply trying to express that in this world working the same job for 20 or 30 years may not be as bad as the youth of today believes. The youth of today is scared of routine and the prospect of maybe doing the same thing for a long time just to support yourself mortifies them. I was simply saying that the alternative to having full time work is pretty grim and that they should really face reality and try to make an effort to work. Hopefully at something they enjoy. It is sad, but society demands it.

Good points though Agent_Punt. I like hearing your opinions.

[agent_PUNT]

I'm still having a small problem though Klaus.

To me you still make it sound like our "society" and "world" end in big city North America. It doesn't seem like you're taking a global approach to this.

I would say to the youth you don't have to get stuck trying to survive in THIS society or THIS world that Klaus talks about... go out and discover there are places in this world that don't rely on fax machines and deadlines.

Why work from age 25 to 60 so you can relax in your olden years?

I agree with Klaus that IF you are doing something you love and are passionate about then you're set... this includes actors, singers, architects anyone I suppose who enjoys doing what they are doing.

But if you don't know what that is then go out and see more of the world. Sign up to teach english in a foreign country, volunteer to help in South America or Africa.

Even just doing research on other parts of the world might help you find what you are looking for.

Just because you are born into this 9-5 bullshit world doesn't mean you are limited to it.

Humans are weak though. We always create our own leaders to give us an excuse not to be excellent on our own. We did it with God and we did it with the dollar bill. We invent these things that end up owning us.


Call it Anarchy, call it Atheism whatever... just take the time to stop and figure out what you truly want to do with your time on this planet. Is this the society you want to be in?

"We must be the change we wish to see."

PS I love you Klaus.

You know, you're absolutely right. My biggest folly was arguing solely from a Westerner's point of view. Indeed, we live in a big and diverse world. I was arguing from a person who, though I deal with people from all over the world on a daily basis, still operate in a very Western arena. People from Paris, in my world, operate much like New Yorkers. Same with people from Rome, Lisbon, London, etc.... I certainly wasn't speaking for aborigines or small old-world villagers who dot the planet's landscape. My apologies for speaking ignorantly and ethnocentrically.

I wish more young people (and their companions) would follow this advice. The advice seems generic, but it seriously is so important. Sure it sometimes takes money to get on that plane to the Amazon or out to Africa or over to Europe and Asia, but that shouldn't stop you. It should motivate you. If you can motivate yourself to work for that ticket, what you reap at your destination will be that much more rewarding and your goals easier to achieve.

Just stop sitting on your ass, listening to emo and complaining that the future is bleak when in reality you have nothing to complain about and you really don't know anything unless you actually go for it and find out for yourself.

GO TEAM!

Thanks for the revelation. I also just recently learned that HUNGER can often be alleviated via the eating of food! Amazing isn't it? Also THIRST can be driven off with the ingestion of water! Not only that, it seems most liquids are capable of quenching thirst, unless they're 'bad' liquids that can make you sick. Did you know that there are 'BAD' liquids that can make you sick? Sorry if I'm blowing your mind here.

But seriously Taint WOULD you murder us if we came to NYC in a caravan?

Because I think you would.

[5InchTaint]

No, I'm too lazy to murder a group of people. If it was only one or two people I would consider it. Seriously though, I'm not such a bastard in real life. My humor has a decidedly dark edge but I can usually suppress my demons long enough to be sociable.

you don't fill me with confidence when you had to edit this post.

[5InchTaint]

Well, it's after 4am EST and I'm still slamming booze down my puss. If you have the misfortune of hanging out with me if you come down to the NYC, you will definitely not forget the experience. THAT, I guarantee. You may not get laid, but you will most definitely have an interesting time.

665 posts for Taint....

just curious: Why did you right 4am EST? Were you drinking at the airport or something?

[5InchTaint]

"Bweedle da dee da doodle him ba jeejum didee ho". That's all I hear whenever you post. That is to say, I hear an internal made up voice that depicts the one I imagine you speak with; a shrill voice that sounds like a mildy retarded castrato having has penis torn to shreds with treble hooks. Much that your dingus would look like a shrew has attacked a warm piece of string cheese.

As to the whole airport 'bit', when did it become a faux pas to clearly state the time zone you reside in? I mean, for God's sake, am I to be led to believe that within the global community that resides on the Internet, something so simple as proper time line demarcations are an abomination? Buggery, I say. Complete and uttery buggery. Really?!?!

You must work on your form, sir. You do venture into the absurd, almost to the point of deliberate condescension of yourself. Obviously, you can do better than that. We BELIEVE in you. It is most clear, the time for you to believe in yourself is now! Face this challenge head-on! Feel the funny within. Let your own unique and personal brand of humour grow, thob, engorge, and pulse with perspicacity until finally you extrapolate all over the heaving and expectant busom of the BUTM community.

[agent_PUNT]

Louis CK will be filming the HBO stand-up special in the week of April 20th to 26th in NYC.

That's all I've got so far.

Daily show site said they aren't taking ticket requests...
