There’s a lot of deep cut Alice stuff that is, IMO, even better than his hits.

Hard Hearted Alice is just one of many.

If you don’t keep laughing, you might start screaming.

I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies, who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

There’s lots of truth to that.

Homeschooling is not for wimps.

There was Depression themed humor during the Great Depression

If we didn’t laugh, we would all go insane.

I am definitely going to begin listening to him...I heard him recently, and while a bit profane...actually, that was a draw for me. Some aspects certainly deserve that treatment!

I have two people in my immediate family who have lost their jobs, and both are the sole breadwinner for their families...one of them is the only possible income earner, so yes, I will say it is tough for them.

That said, one of those two found much to laugh at in that video, and quite much so. The other person hasn’t seen it yet.

I did not find anything in the video offensive, but I am not prepared to put on a long face and burrow into a hole. If everything becomes permanently bad, which is precisely what a certain segment of the population seems to want, we will have plenty of opportunity to become bitter, somber, and have dark holes to hide ourselves in. I just don’t think we are there yet.

The truth is, not everyone deals with this the same way.

Watching it, it is more like it is both...laughing IN the pandemic and AT it.

Let’s face it, apart from the terrible aspects of it which speak for themselves, there are a lot of aspects of life inside this situation which are surprising and sometimes funny.

And laughing AT the absurdity of certain parts of it (such as those people being ticketed for attending a car-based church service with separated cars with windows up, while at the same time, there are things like drive-in liquor stores where people came up with their windows down, and no protection, etc)

Can we uninstall 2020 and reinstall it again?... I think it has a virus …

Just asked a 6 year old if he understands why there is no school. He said yes because they are out of toilet paper

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We’re told “no” if we get too close to strangers and we get really excited about car rides.

Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, “See? This is why I chew the furniture.”
