Identification

I think my favourite comedy moments probably tell a lot about me.

1.  I believe a lot of things that I find it impossible to convince people of: Heidegger, Christianity, my potential as a screenwriter, recording musician, philosopher, athlete, blogger...
The corresponding comedy favourite is from South Park, where little Kyle tries to introduce his friends to Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo, but all he has is a turd in a shoe-box. About 40 seconds into this clip, he's yelling  Dance, Damn You!  Dance!

2.  I am a very lazy man.  My favourite moment is The Dude explaining why there is so little progress in finding Bunny Lebowski - 'This is a, complicated case, man. Lot of ins, lot of outs.'

3.  I value learning, but I value foolishness even more.  Favourite moment: Walter Sobchack's shock at learning the Germans who attacked The Dude were Nihilists, not Nazis.  "Well you can say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism - at least its Ethos!"  I also love xkcd.com (like everyone else) and Kate Beaton's web comics.

4.  I'm broadly sympathetic to feminism but somehow it goes awry all too easily.  FM: The Dude: "Jackie Treehorn - he treats Objects like they're Women, man!"
