Look .....

I think we're all clear as to how often I listen to LoHo (c. 15 minutes a year). I think we're all clear as to what a pud I think he acts like on the air.

I think it should also be clear to everyone, even the dimmest amongst us, that if Larry went through some serious stuff like that and it helps him mentally heal to get on the radio and say whatever he said (no, I'm not going to go listen to it, obviously), then who the hell is any of us to tell him "no, that's wrong; no, that's inappropriate".

Empathy is an illusion folks. You can feel sorry, you can say you relate, you can say you understand, but nobody has any real grasp on what other people go through except for their own shit - any representation to the contrary is a crock of shit.

Sorry excuses like "it happens to people everyday" doesn't make someone's struggles any easier - if anything, it makes it more difficult because there's no reason to not infer that their own self-worth is being challenged, let alone their ability to deal with shit.

LoHo has been on the air for some time, and will be for some time in the future. If you wanna hassle his ass, do it about something related to his show or his broadcasting; don't be a complete fucktard because the poor bastard seems to have escaped a potentially personally devastating problem with little to possibly no real ramifications going forward.

How that's not evident to every swinging dick on this board really is beyond me; why this surprises me is a cross I have to bear on my own. Christ, I'm the fucking king of insensitivity yet some of this thread is just way beyond the pale.

In closing, let the record show this diatribe was written with a xanax and a valium in my system. Not that they're really doing anything, but I'm sure it subdued my disgust and ire to some degree, but not enough to let this abject, unadulterated stupidity pass by without commenting.

This notion, suggested by some, that Larry is trying to spread the word of chrohn's and reach out to people is bullshit. Spread the word? People know if they have it. Sounds heroic and nice to say, but it means nothing. People with chrohn's don't need Larry, they need a doctor. From what I understand, the treatment steps are pretty standard and simple. Proper diet, medication and eventually a surgery or two. Anybody can get that info from a doc or the internet.

This is a sports radio show with a male audience. Not the Oprah show. Nobody with this problem is gonna reach out to Larry. Nor does Larry really want them to. Don't fall for that. He says it at the time cuz it's the thing to say.

You people who suggested this remind me of the sweet old lady that sees nothing but good. I just had to play Jack to respond to all of you.

Somebody has to do it. You're welcome.

There are literally tens of people that listen to the Score ONLY because of Larry. They call into his show and declare it. He was talking to them.

So you guys are saying Larry has a heigtened sense of how important he is?

You dont say.

Anyway, how do you not like Curious Hair? Best poster this side of StoneRoses.

Did Laurence (thats his name folks! /SHARK doing Mcneil) call himself a hero? No

He doesnt have to....when its so obvious


Funny that Dr Ken, Larry's self described number one fan, hasnt shown up.

Shake that

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Ya know, I would think most people with Crohn's disease would have been offended by what Larry did too. Using the disease to promote himself and tell us how woderful he is. Yeah, I was offended by that. You'll never change my mind about that. I thought it was disgusting and deplorable.

He turned it into the "Streets of the South Side" for dramatic purposes just to say "I'm great, you're lucky to have me back"....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQYGVzzIq7g

Not the way to go about it.

Holmes's show is not personality-driven because he has no personality. By virtue of his broadcasting style, he is attempting to align himself with some of the country's broadcasting giants.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

his mom was on there too from when she was in her teens

I'm pretty sure I saw this pic on "Faces of Meth". If I recall correctly, this chick was a real babe in the before shot.

Give me a break. Holmes isn't Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern or a (vintage era) Steve Dahl. He is a third-rate bit player on a second-rate sports station. The vast majority of his audience listens because they like sports talk, not him; Holmes's show is not personality-driven because he has no personality. By virtue of his broadcasting style, he is attempting to align himself with some of the country's broadcasting giants. But even a notorious narcissist like Keith Olbermann wouldn't pull the crap Holmes tries on a regular basis. A lot of people with significantly greater stature than he will ever enjoy regularly experience enormous tragedies and triumphs in their lives. But they don't feel compelled to report on them in excruciating detail during their programs because they are not deluded enough to conflate the narrator with the narrative, the messenger with the message, or the host with his subject matter. In the final analysis, Holmes' plight is similar to that of a pulp writer who has mistaken himself for James Joyce. His limited appeal lies exclusively in his ability to engage generic conventions, not in his desire to "transcend" them. His hubris lies in the belief that his "special" brand of broadcasting does not need to adhere to those conventions.

Yes, he's adopted the Stern Dahl style

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

I've got a question for some of you. Where were the threads of outrage for B&B about Ron Santo? Maybe I missed them.

B&B said of Santo, despite the fact that he helped raised mondy for JDRF, that, according to them, he wasn't the best person to do so. They said a lot of it was phony cuz it was his attempt to get into the HOF. Where was the "B&B hate kids with diabetes" threads and/or comments? Where were the "Leave Ronnie alone, it's his way of coping" comments? When B&B would make fun of Santo, where were the "He could have died in surgery, how dare you!!!" comments. Where were they?

I'll give you all a moment to think about this...

Thanks. I accept your apologies. I won't make any of you say "sorry".

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Yeah. Just like I thought I'd get from CSFMB's "B&B" people.

It's the same with Score people, "We'll piss on anybody - for any reason, justified or not - but how dare you call us out for being scum of the earth."

I win.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.
