The MacDonald/Young Simulcrum
(Note: This is a repost of the original)
Allow me to share with you some revelations I’ve had about Norm MacDonald and Neil Young.
Both of these gentlemen are Canadian entertainers who have a rabid fan base, neither of whom I have enjoyed in the past.
In fact I would say that I actively disliked them. In the case of Norm MacDonald I particularly detested his stammering delivery of non jokes that he tries to get you to laugh at by blinking you into submission. I seemed to be the only comedian in the world who was happy he got shit canned from SNL. All of my friends love this guy and his appeal was lost on me completely.

The Correctness Discussion Topic #1
(Note: This is a repost of the original)
Today’s Topic:
Hobbes is to Calvin what Tyler Durden is to Edward Norton’s unnamed Narrator in Fight Club.
Things to consider….
1) Everyday when he comes home from school, Hobbes pounces on Calvin, thus he is fighting himself
2)Hobbes may be an extension of Calvin’s personality he may not be ready to deal with yet, ie: his latent attraction to Suzie Derkins. In the Movie, it’s Tyler who bangs Marla, the Edward Norton character doesn’t even admit to being attracted to her.
3) All of these characters are, in their own way rebelling against authority
4) People who have a decal of Calvin peeing on the logo of a rival truck do NOT get Calvin and Hobbes. AT ALL.
Discuss.
Please note the Correctness has received a special dispensation, and we can, this one time, talk about Fight Club
