I think they leave me alone because they know I'd kick their ass.

I used to be. Now I just sit back and enjoy the show.

It's funny, but I had a high school teacher that said I had a 5'2 sicilian in my 6'5 body. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I wonder what he meant.

Sicily was where the Costa Nostra began later to become known as the Mafia.  I think your teacher was trying to say that 5'2" of you was very intimidating

Just watched the SNL sketch.  Jeez Ellie, where do you get this stuff!?  Laughed so hard and it felt so good, thanks.  Toni

Among other things, I am a huge comedy nerd. I have decades of Simpsons, SNL, and Conan references ready to whip out on a moments notice, and surprisingly 99% of them are on youtube, often officially. Seriously, it's how I live life. My sister gets irritated with me because everything she tells me I'll say "That reminds me of a sketch/joke I saw/heard the other day...". Then out comes the cellphone and a clip from Bob's Burgers or It's Always Sunny. It's gotten to the point she'll start telling me something and I will get this particular smirk... she just sighs and says "Just show me. I know you want to."

I just wish it wasn't so awkward to bring up Louis CK jokes now. He has some good ones for almost everything.

Thing is I am half Italian, but Dad's family was from Naples.

If your teacher knew that then they probably thought you were Napoleon

Liked Louis CK, especially where he talks about being poor and broke.  Still funny, but now you think a bit about the guy.  At least he didn't just roll over like most everyone else did, give him some cred for that.  We just watched some stand up with my son, don't remember their names, one I think an Aussie, but some of his favorites and both had a good portion of their show revolve around rape.  Cosby in one and I don't remember the segue in the other, but I really didn't find that funny and couldn't really understand how that could be considered humorous in any way.   Not that I think I ever really did, but probably not nearly as negative as now.  How perspectives change.  Toni
