Anonymous asked: what kinda shampoo do you use on your beard?

I have a homemade blend, which I’ve been refining for many years. The complete ingredients are too numerous to list, but the most notable components are: unicorn mane, cascade hops, and pure testosterone.

How to Give Louis C.K.’s “Live at the Beacon Theater” as a Gift

According to “LCK Support”, a gifting option is coming, and may be up as early as later today. Maybe a consideration in your holiday gift planning.

We’ve been working on a gifting option and it should be up tomorrow. You can register a friend’s email address, but it will probably be easier to wait for the gift option.

Regards,

Hello lovely minions of Louis C.K.,

I would like very much to get this as a gift for a friend. Could I simply buy it again and use said friend’s email address during the purchase process? Or is there a more formal/less kludgey way to do this?

Thanks, -Dustin-

Also: they wrote me back in < 10min at 11:30 in the P.M. That’s impressive.

Finally: I read that he really sweated the details about how to present the thing. Evidenced by this line on the Contact page: “The video is MP4 (H.264) encoded, with an Ogg Theora option for those who prefer not to use H.264.”

Who the hell else has ever sold something on the internet of this caliber with an option to get the damned thing in Ogg Theora? Say what you will about the FSF, Ogg, H.264, patents, and the rest of it, this is frickin’ cool and a real olive branch to some folks. If it wasn’t for PayPal and a lack of guarantees about air conditioning levels, Stallman might actually buy this thing.

Mark Shields Makes an Important Point

I do not like Mitt Romney. He was my governor for four years, and he was crap. He may have plugged up a big budget gap, but he did so on the backs of the poor and middle class. He is a phony and knows nothing about government. But please let him be nominated by the GOP, because he is the only one that can give Obama a run for his money.

I like Barrack Obama. I like him a lot. But this election that’s coming should be a very real discussion and debate about where to take the country. I want Barrack Obama to win it. I want him to win the debate and the election. I do not want the GOP candidate to be dismissed.

Mark Shields on Friday’s NewsHour put it best (BTW, Mark Shields also wants Barrack Obama to win the election):

Three out of four Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is an election about what the government should do, shouldn’t do, who should pay for it, what we’re going to ask of each other, what we’re going to ask of ourselves. I mean, it should be a very serious debate, and because Obama’s stewardship has been an imperfect and flawed stewardship.

And if Newt Gingrich is the nominee, Barack Obama will coast to a second term. Because it will be all about Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich — Newt Gingrich is such a flawed vessel and such a flawed candidate.

He has more skeletons than the Harvard Medical School lab does. And I’m telling you, it’s — it would be bad for the country. To have Obama coast to a re-election, untested, unchallenged, undiscussed, is really going to be bad.

Occupy Harvard wants “a University for the 99%”. I’m thinking a quick trip on the red line to JFK/UMass could save a lot of time with the tents and such …

What we’re watching in the newsroom today:a segment from the April 5, 1985 edition of the “MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour”, that examines Apple Computer and “Steven Jobs.”

First line: “Tonight, we focus on an apple. Apple the computer, not the fruit.”

This piece is great for a lot of reasons. The fact that Woz was nuts, even back then, that Sculley really didn’t have his head on right, and that handsome, handsome swaggering tuxedoed 30 year old Steve Jobs.

Easily the part that marked this as being 25+ years old was during Jim’s intro detailing the sagging PC industry, “May top executives have seen pay cuts.”

Republican Senator Scott Brown responding to a crack Elizabeth Warren made in Tuesday’s debate, when the Democrat said that she “didn’t take her clothes off” to pay for college, a reference to Brown’s famous nude spread in Cosmopolitan magazine decades ago. (via boston) said:

He believed in us

In a world of mediocrity, Steve Jobs believed that we could think different.

Against the press, against the pundits, and against all odds, he stood defiant. He saw something in our nature that no one else could be brave enough to do. He saw that we were not lemmings. He saw that we did not want to compromise for average, for also rans, nor for good enough.

In a world of crap, Steve Jobs dared to believe that there were people who would choose to have it better. This is what I take from his legacy. I take into my every day life and work: the belief that human beings want and will, when given the option, choose to be better than the crap.

I humbly hope that I can inspire others, as he did time and time again, to know that they need not settle on the same old tired B.S.
