71 YEARS OF GENIUS.

May 12th, 1937 - June 22nd, 2008

I feel terrible. Just last night we were jokingly mocking your brilliant stand up comedy. I hope your right ear wasn't ring a few hours before you passed. You're one of the last legends people with a sense of humor had.

No one could ever fill your shoes.

THE END OF THE WORLD

Comedian Patton Oswalt has a great part in his stand up where he talks about wanting to die "in the mother fucking apocalypse." I sometimes cannot agree more. Recently Chile experienced some awesome natural disasters and I hope that when I die, it's when the world ends and it looks about 100 times more awesome than these photos.

Oh, Maria Bamford!

Let me tell you, I love women.

Asides from boobs and butts, can I tell you personality plays a big factor in my big old heart? It's true! And Maria Bamford (Myspace) has one hell of a personality! Or judging by all the voices she makes, maybe she has more than one.

Female comedians put together maybe two of my favorite types of people together: females and comedians. Maria is so good at being the "awkward comedian" it's almost as if she made it up. While that sort of seems like a backhanded compliment, Maria takes her personality and voice and crafts it into a fine stain glass window made of bizarre life stories, an entire cast of characters and great (albeit awkward) stage presence.



Did I mention she's a lil awkward? But that's what I love about her. Plus she loves pugs so...

Maria Bamford @ Comedy Death Ray

Her set on the Comedy Deathray CD is something that without fail has made everyone we know lose it in giant giggle fits. Maria has a new CD out so check out her Myspace and buy that stuff!
