  • -333 points GorkyParkSculpture

    You don't need to say river after Schuylkill because the second half means "river."

    What a hip and edgy comment from five days after I posted it. You somehow out-dorked me. Well done.

    Looking at your comment history, I'd have expected better from a so-called comedian. Your fear of driving in the mountains and that you cut your own hair suggests your advice is just a weeee bit ironic too.

    Good luck with the new material....

    How about this instead. You seem to have little to no charisma and you are probably annoying to be around. No joke. Just an observation since im a comedian I can observe things. Also since I was able to recognize my own haircuts weren’t that great. I’m able to recognize you seem to struggle with human interaction in a enjoyable manner. Touch grass and something besides a device. Better ?

    not really, no, but you'll get there. This is just a more verbose medium talent roast but shows I got under your skin good nine days ago.

    This is a funny comment. It doesn't bother me when people say that- I'm not sure why you think it would be repeating it. I don't even live in or near Philly. I had just heard this from Joe Bob Briggs who literally discussed how nobody follows that rule and I thought it would be a neat fact to share.

    I appreciate the fun fact. But just throwing out information can come off as you trying to correct someone without an added kindness, which is sense as rude because humans can be sensitive creatures.

    Also in this case the name of the river is "The Schuylkill River"

    Ignoring the meaning of a foreign word creating redundancy is an American tradition.

    Love you .... Say it back.

    When I read your comment on my LCD-display, I laughed so hard I almost got choked on the naan-bread I was eating, so I had to rinse it with some chai-tea as ASAP as possible. Unfortunately I only had caffe latte with milk, but that was ok. Next time I'm going to eat chili con carne with meat instead.
