Echo Steps
We didn’t want to wait in line for a shitty bar, so we bought some beers and drank them on the steps. We invited everyone we passed by. I met people from every part of segregated Los Angeles.
Our fun lasted until someone threw a television down the stairs. We had glass in our toes. It could have been worse.
Aardvark: You there? I have a question about **Dave Coulier** that I think you might be able to answer. (Type 'sure', 'pass', or 'busy'.)
Josh: sure
Aardvark: (From David W./M/Chicago,IL) In the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget, where comedians and Saget's coworkers make jokes about Saget, why wasn't Dave Coulier on the dais? Dave Coulier is both a stand up comic and clearly a close coworker of Bob Saget. Isn't he sort of obvious? Shouldn't he have been the roastmaster even instead of Stamos who is not a comedien? Instead Coulier was in the audience. Why? Was he not comfortable with the expected blue material for the roast? I saw Coulier in a comedy club a few years ago and his comedy is still pretty PG. But the guy can't be too PG if he's getting a blowjob from Alanis Morissette in a public theatre, can he? (Type 'pass' to skip, or 'more' for extra options.)
Josh: pass

Avoiding Awkwardness Through Escapism
I arrived at the dive bar before my friends did. An old man was yelling at the television…
“I can’t believe their still showing ‘Bobby Mays’ commercials.” “Yeah, you’re right I think ‘Bobby Mays’ died of cancer.”
Perhaps they weren’t internet savvy enough to know the name of the telemarketer, or were too drunk to hear him...
