He was pissed at the comic, and he was pissed at the audience for the few laughs. He didn't seem to understand how badly the previous comic had bombed. So instead of doing comedy, he launched into an abusive tirade against the audience. I remember a jewish guy sitting next to me, and Mooney basically scanned the room and insulted everybody. The jewish dude was frozen with horror when Mooney spat out the word "jew" at him. In Mooney's mind, the audience had somehow been on the previous comedian's side. I wanted to tell him how much we hated the guy, that we agreed he was a racist asshole. Instead we got yelled at.<br /><br /><br />Finally, Mooney walked off. The next comic, a lady, came on and said "Paul has left the building. He has a separate limo for his ego."<br /><br /><br />I don't blame him for being pissed at some of the stupid jokes of the previous comic, but Mooney was definitely an asshole that night.Buddy Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-83701099399138685182014-08-26T03:39:06.000-05:002014-08-26T03:39:06.000-05:00So many complements :) Back to the fight!So many complements :) Back to the fight!chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-24675689434098903112014-08-26T02:52:19.129-05:002014-08-26T02:52:19.129-05:00Bah, I don't believe him.

He may say outwardly the part wasn't personally transformative but he'd be hard pressed to deny its expansive cultural impact or the role's place within the Trek pantheon. If Joseph Campbell's work teaches us nothing it is that national cultural heroes like Worf live on long past their inception, and Worf is a culturally positive sci-fi role that will definitely live long and prosper in the genre.<br /><br />But I'm just some dork named Black Romulan. I'm obviously nerdishly biased.Black Romulanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nheR783dvXAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-37769682502038826022014-08-26T01:59:02.016-05:002014-08-26T01:59:02.016-05:00Funny that you mentioned that.

I wonder what his private answer to a black person asking him a similar question would be.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-65447581784199494712014-08-26T00:57:05.725-05:002014-08-26T00:57:05.725-05:00You got to meet Dave Bautista?
