Hi Dave! While I am absolutely delighted that you have kept tradition by posting Edison's Frankenstein, I can't deny a powerful hankering for a Dave video. I guess my appetite will be all the more whetted when Christmas time comes around!
May I also congratulate you on your latest Tuesday column, "The Rothenberg Principle." With each passing day, it seems to me, people become more insular, self-centered, and indifferent to the effect their ego driven behavior has upon the lives of others. In fact, they seem to have little time for prioritizing anything other than their subjective notions of personal victimhood, justice, and what they call "my truth." Obviously, Rothenberg is an extreme example of the disease. Nevertheless, it does manifest, in various degrees, with a sizable portion of the population. For such people, the idea of belonging to a larger community, as a fully responsible contributing participant, is not only foreign but hateful. After all, to the narcissistic mind, everyone else is merely an extra in their play.
I think insularity is a response to DEI's wedge against unity. It doesn't matter who is best for the job—only that you are a member of the aggrieved class. Those who get cheated out of a position they want may become bitter and only concerned with themselves, not the whole group. If other groups exist to get perks based upon their skin color, having the wrong skin color, white in this case, doesn't promote rooting for or helping the undeserving beneficiaries.
I'm no expert on the causality of the cancer I see. I merely know that it is dangerous and very likely terminal. With that being said, I agree with your reasoning on this point. Insularity is a desired response by the Marxists (for lack of a better term) who have so diligently sowed the seeds of disunity for at least the last one hundred years in this country.
"I feel like we're reaping some whirlwind from people who were let down by everyone in their lives, from their selfish parents to institutions like churches and schools."
Reaping the whirlwind indeed! I appreciated your comment very much.
ok thanks.. uniqe. I won't lie i was expecting good ole Dave to be on the screen with his famous green screen in the back in all his glory and and opening song or something :-)
The copy of their album I bought in the 80s had a "GRAMMY WINNER" sticker put on it by a smartass. The Virgin Megastore here (remember them?) used to play them before closing time to clear the place out.
I probably should not ask this, how is it possible that YT ain't banned your epic silent film? Your masterpiece is second on my list of silent films, right behind D. W. Griffith's "Intolerence".
Griffith made that film as a response to his critics RE Birth of a Nation. He then donned blackface and white gloves and exited the room going "yowza yowza MAMMY!" Worst film premiere ever.
Push was the impetus for this monstrosity?! Excise the memory of that horror with repeated Push-Up’s!!
Quickly mix:
2 oz. Malibu rum (or Dave’s CVS bargain rum and a squirt of Hawaiian Tropic)
1/2 oz. orange juice
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/4 oz. simple syrup
1 egg white
Dry shake then ice shake. Strain into your favorite tiki glass and garnish with four shakes orange bitters, a pinch of rind, a swirl of Velvet Felernum, then two ice cubed gummy eyeballs.
When someone told me about that yesterday, how he claims he was attacked and clawed in the night, I replied, "maybe it was an owl; his laugh is like a mating call."
Also watching the riots in LA after the WS reminded me of a great Rush Limbaugh idea: hold sports championships in enemy countries so that they can be destroyed in the ensuing celebratory riots.
In Rothenberg’s defense, he deliberately burned the child in a horrifically painful way that led to decades of debilitation, suffering, and his son’s eventual death

Thank you for the great comment, Terry. And you can COUNT on that Christmastime video!

"Not some Muzak lab experiment to help nerds pick up girls." In memory of Willhelm. LOL!

A timeless side-splitter!
I see monstrosities like Kenny G. and get motivated that “Hey, maybe even I have a chance at fortune and glory.”
Happy Halloween, David
And to you, my friend!
It's Halloween! Why even Dracula will be they-uh! https://youtu.be/iH-Q59geylw?si=DNr6sJCZ111iacNo
He hears The Shaggs and impales himself with a stake.
The copy of their album I bought in the 80s had a "GRAMMY WINNER" sticker put on it by a smartass. The Virgin Megastore here (remember them?) used to play them before closing time to clear the place out.
LOL!!!!
Only one worse was Shooby Taylor. At least The Shaggs played real instruments.
Shooby went over at the Apollo about as well as Krusty's Komedy Klassics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MutYIgL4Gbk
I always have a tab open to "google" while visiting Dave's site. I learned of the Shaggs and my life is so much richer now.
Fuck, Sonny, this is why we strap on a cup before going in the ring. LOL!
Let a year pass by and you forget just how much fun that video is. Brilliant. Happy Halloween Dave.
Thank you, Sandy! It'll always be a seasonal tradition.
Happy Halloween Dave !!! You are my all time favourite Hollywood Jewish goblin, I'm not just sayin' that.
Thank you sir!

Dave is the only Hollywood guy you have ever interacted with. Spelling favorite with a "u" is quite pretentious of us.
I thought you were from the Canadian part of Texas
Wait, I meant that for SCT. Are you two the same person?
We are one, dual subscribers.
Post a link to "Intolerence", if you will.
Griffith made that film as a response to his critics RE Birth of a Nation. He then donned blackface and white gloves and exited the room going "yowza yowza MAMMY!" Worst film premiere ever.
LOL !!!
Seriously, that was a hell of a project to make, with the huge numbers of people required, the massive sets that had to be built.
Twas epic, sir. Absolutely epic! LOL!
I shall do so, Your Majesty.

BTW you misspelled "Intolerance".
Neither of us can spell!
Happy Halloween
You too, my friend!

I just hope you weren't raped by a demon this past week the way Tucker claims he was.
Yes, I can't believe I just typed that sentence.
When someone told me about that yesterday, how he claims he was attacked and clawed in the night, I replied, "maybe it was an owl; his laugh is like a mating call."
I think it was actually aliens.
Also watching the riots in LA after the WS reminded me of a great Rush Limbaugh idea: hold sports championships in enemy countries so that they can be destroyed in the ensuing celebratory riots.
I talk about the riots in this Sunday's Week!
In Rothenberg’s defense, he deliberately burned the child in a horrifically painful way that led to decades of debilitation, suffering, and his son’s eventual death
LOL!!!!
In Texas, we would have fried Rothenberg.
You think Texas is based? California actually HAD fried Rothenberg
That was marvelous fun! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Happy Halloween, Dave!
And to you too, Ricardo!
