Hmmm... I hope I didn't sound that incoherent in my original post...

While I'm at it, this bugs the hell out of me, too...

I still don't get why I'm not a fan of MST fan if I don't like Leary, and
I'm not kidding.
	You say Denis Leary has a new angle on comedy; I say I don't see
any humor in anything he says, especially when it's as completely pointless,
tasteless, and mean-spirited as making fun of Jim Henson's death.  I just
don't get it.  I also say he doesn't have a "new angle;" I'm not that
impressed by some guy just pacing around on stage bitching about anything
he can think of, especially if he doesn't come up with anything particularly
innovative to make fun of or any creative ways to make fun of them.  I keep
seeing a clip of his ragging on Barry Manilow -- they did Barry Manilow
jokes on RHODA.  This is a "new angle?" 
	The reason I compared him to "The Dice Man" is that they're both
comedians who became really popular just on shock value and neither are
particularly interesting or funny, IMO.  They also both get lots of raves
about how original and daring they are, when I just don't get it.
	Sure, I'm open-minded (AM TOO!), but  I'm also opinionated and I'll
jump at the chance to let you know if I like or dislike something.  I
dislike Denis Leary, and I don't see the point in talking about him on an
MST3K newsgroup.  (Unless, of course, it's me, responding to a flame.)

>Is MST3K the ONLY comedy you watch
>or something?  Trust me, MST3K is original, a new angle on something.
>So is Denis Leary!  So, you hate him!  BFD!  Guess you think Richard
>Pryor talks dirty to much huh?...

No, I like plenty of comedians.  The only thing I can think of that they
all have in common is that they're funny, and they don't try to be funny at
the expense of others.  That's the easy way out.  I hate him, right.  BFD.
I agree.

No, actually, I like En Vogue.  Never gonna get it never gonna get it... etc.
One of the few MTV bands I like.  Work on your spelling, Coz.

(I so rarely get *permission* to post my opinions on the net; I usually have
to volunteer them!  It's fun!)
