April 22, 200718 yr I don't know why but I was suddenly seized by the notion of trapping Armando Iannucci. What bait do you think would work, and has anyone any advice on what trap to use?

April 22, 200718 yr He was one of those people who used to record 30-minute comedy shows off Radio 4 onto cassettes when he was a kid. Not like me at all. No way. So for bait, I'd say a little cluster of cassette tapes with 'Radioactive', 'Round the Horne' or 'Weekending' on the labels should do the job. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

April 22, 200718 yr Author I like the notion of the tapes. Possibly under a laundry basket propped up with a stick. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
April 23, 200718 yr What did you think of Time Trumpet, hit and miss? Rape a celebrity ape was a high point for me.
April 23, 200718 yr I really only know his radio work, apart from The Saturday Night Armistice (remember Hunt the Old Woman?). He did a thing for Radio 3 about a museum of keyboards that I heard on BBC7 a while back - including a Stalinist keyboard that played music through the controlled torture of differently-pitched dissidents, and an ice keyboard that could only be played for ten minutes before it melted. Great radio. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
April 23, 200718 yr Author I liked his early stuff as producer, but actualy found the Charm Offensive surprisingly good. "It wasn't lies.

April 24, 200718 yr And what exactly is it that you have planned for Armando Ianucci once he has been captured? Declare your nefarious intent, sir! "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
April 24, 200718 yr Author I have no intent. I merely want to capture him. He's too little not to be thrown back. Plus that means others may have the pleasure of hunting him. "It wasn't lies.

April 24, 200718 yr Author That is because like all your compatriots you are comedy deprived. American comedy is far too safe when it comes to current affairs. It's like eating diet yoghurt.

April 24, 200718 yr That is because like all your compatriots you are comedy deprived. American comedy is far too safe when it comes to current affairs. It's like eating diet yoghurt. yeah but we got white ppl do this black ppl do that, mexicans are blha blah haiwwians ajfmadha down like a clown son. :'( but in all seriousness I mean Dave Attel, Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan are pretty much amazing beyond all awesomeness. Edited April 24, 200718 yr by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

Yes. I guess that kinda humour can be fun if you like it. Ach, I'm probably talking out my kazoo since I've only seen a few US live comedy shows on Paramount.

April 25, 200718 yr Author What's pastel coloured latex taste like? Is it worse tasting than the florescent flavours? I suppose you could make it taste better by embedding herbs in it. I'm guessing you'd have to go with something strong like cumin seeds. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.
