      Jane Wickline has singlehandedly breathed new life into SNL for me. Previously it was Pete Davidson (RIP his career choices) that made me feel represented there. Made me excited to watch.

        Haven’t been huge on SNL in a while, but I fucking love Sarah Sherman’s stuff.

        Absolute fucking maniac

        Pete Davidson (RIP his career choices)

        What’s he done? I haven’t seen much from him since his comedy special a few years ago.

        And yeah, I’ve been loving Jane’s stuff as well. Her songs can be kind of hit or miss but she’s so great in general. I loved how she played off the reaction to the Trumpet mom in the recent sketch

    I’m fine with going fast on a sled being a sport. That’s cool. But, it seems like something where it’s only valid if everybody involved is actively doing something on the way down, not just being ballast.

    One person sledding makes sense. But, in this sport, the guy on the bottom can’t possibly be anything but ballast, can he? He can’t see anything, so he can’t be steering or braking, right?

    Same with bobsled, the guy at the front is steering. Maybe the people in the back help with something, but they can’t be too actively involved because they can’t see.

      In bobsled, the other people at the back are important for the initial pushoff, since you’re allowed a running start. And then I’m pretty sure everyone helps steer, based on what the guy in the front is doing/commands he gives.

      Granted, all my knowledge of bobsled comes from Cool Runnings, so take all that with a grain of salt

    where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons.

      I’m surprised that even needed clarification. Like, we’re not watching a couple of red pandas in M1 Abrams playing water polo with telephone poles, what the fuck about that picture is baffling to you?

          I’d imagine that when your forward velocity is that great, your desire to not become human luge paint is generally such that you can eat charcoal and produce only the finest of Tiffany cuff links. Not sure what that says about the Lego brick below you, but they made their choice.

    Craig: “What are we doing again?”

    Mark: “We need to practice our luge doubles.”

    Craig: “…”

    Mark: “So I’m gonna need you to lie down on top of me.”

    Craig: “Mark, this is a couch.”

    Mark: “It’s just practice. We don’t have to be moving.”

    Craig: “Mark, you asked me over to watch football.”

    Mark (turns on football game): “Now come over here.”
