Public Edutainment (Timing is Everything)

I guess this guy is a comedian? John McIntire, blog post, 12/12/12


First of all, there is a raging debate about who the biggest morons in Pittsburgh are.


Bicyclists break the rules, run lights, jump out in front of you, and carelessly weave in and out of heavy traffic. Drivers, on the other hand, have no sympathy for the bicyclists lack of ability to say, stay alive, should they collide with the cars.


You can argue some bicyclists deserve it. But call me crazy, I don't want to go to jail, even for the satisfaction of making a careless, smelly, smelly bicyclist a hood ornament. Fun, but life in jail would quickly outweigh the thrill of the moment.


've changed my mind. The pedestrians here are beyond stupefyingly stupendously stupid. They wait until the light is red and THEN they start walking. They're always surprised to find actual automobiles in the street.


They can't believe, even if you're clearly at a high rate of speed and have the right of way, that you wouldn't immediately slam on your brakes and bow to their idiocy.


They are true George Romero inspired pedestrian zombies from hell.


It's increasingly annoying just to hit the streets of Pittsburgh, regardless of how your traversing the highways and byways. Incidentally, what the hell is a byway?


So, let's review. The pedestrians are clearly the dumbest. The bikers and drivers are tied for a close second.


If you're frequently biking around the 'Burgh you'll be dead in a year.


And I'm gonna miss ya.


Please pull out in front of someone other than me.


'Cause if I'm driving the sympathy will be with you, the smelly dead biker, who put on Ty Cobb cleats and dressed up like Lance Freaking Armstrong just to go coffee shop, and clomp around on the hardwood floors, which I'm sure is what the coffee shop owners intended.


I'm not interested in Manslaughter time in jail. I drive a black mustang.


Die next to someone else, won't you?


The life you save may be... well you'll be dead, but I won't be in jail.

my husband works in the kitchen, so i think i'ma just sneak in and be like "booo, you're neither witty nor observant booo. your blog is harmful booo." and then steal away in the night.

A comedian that negative might thrive on hecklers.

I doubt it. He deleted mine and Vannevar's comments from his blog post.

i think that's the guy who ended his "comedy" routine (at brillobox) with rape jokes a few months ago. obviously a great guy.

i wish you hadnt shown me that tweet, because i couldnt resist trolling him back


melange396
2012-12-14 18:37:03

so then not only is he a lousy "comic", he's stealing 50 year old jokes too?


2012-12-14 19:58:14

@pbeaver ... 50 year old jokes too


Hey! Stop talking about me!

So he didn't appreciate my suggestion that he follow up the jokes about dead cyclists and pedestrians with some material on the school shooting. How do people not understand that te two things are equivalent?
