One “Fake Older Boyfriend” Into the Trash-bin.

March 10th, 2007 by cooper

Maybe I am just tur­ning into cur­mud­geon, (like Doug), but I could barely stand watching Bill Maher last night.

The stu­pid, sexist, redun­dant, non­sense he spews, more times than not these days, is get­ting on my ner­ves. Not to men­tion his guests are often boring. ( except for last week where I dis­co­ve­red that Craig Kil­born is actually kind of smart). I wan­ted to put a sock in the mouth of every pane­list there, two socks in Maher’s mouth. Roseann who????

The only per­son on that show who had any sense was Dee­pak Cho­pra, and he came on as an aside. The only sen­si­ble thing said was that “The Sec­ret” is a bunch of crap.

It is not worth watching a full hour of him in order to hear one or two good gotcha’s. My friends are more enter­tai­ning and often more informed.

You got it.

For those fami­liar with my list.

 — Lost pic­ture of me and my fake high older boy­friend Bill Maher. -

You just aren’t funny any­more hon.

I must cross Bill off the list of my “fake, famous, older, boy­friends”.
Billy Joel and Paul Simon are still on the list though.

Maybe I’m just anno­yed that I am in Mary­land doing inter­views while ever­yone else is having fun.

Maybe not, maybe I’m just get­ting old.

Either way, my inter­view this mor­ning went well.

Cheers.

    Agree with Maher at times is an idiot and The Sec­ret being a bunch of crap.

    He deser­ves to be cros­sed of your list. :)

    I’m sorry you can’t so somewhere close to tro­pi­cal like some of us can. Don’t feel bad I’m broke and can’t go that far. Which means I stay and in this country.

    My wife never cared for him.
    I agree there are times lately when he had become a redun­dant boor.Who gets to replace him on the list?

    {JACOB rai­ses hand}

    I fit all but the famous part. Wasn’t it “fake, famous, usually drunk or sto­ned older boyfriends”?

    Con­grats on the inter­view going well.
    Bill doesn’t deserve you as a fake youn­ger girlfriend.

  4. johnnymNo Gravatar says:

    Glad your inter­view went well, it’s like one down five to go.

    It’s your fate, due to your extreme par­ti­cu­la­ri­ties, to always be the youn­ger girl­friend of some­body. He is get­ting tedious, tire­some and a hun­dred other words all begin­ning in T and that is just for star­ters. Glad you dum­ped him from the list. ;)

    An hour, is an hour of your life.

  5. I need to find a way to get famous.

    and age faster

    I think that Bill Maher has suf­fe­red from not having as many res­tric­tions pla­ced on him by the execs above him. On Poli­ti­cally Inco­rrect he was figh­ting the Stan­dards and Prac­ti­ces peo­ple all the way and you could tell by watching. He wasn’t as noto­rious about it as Howard Stern but there was defi­ni­tely an undercurrent.

    Any­ways wasn’t he rated one of the 100 unse­xiest men?

  6. jakeNo Gravatar says:

    The mate­rial and the pre­sen­ta­tion is old, the one or two good guests and the one or two good points he makes, are oversha­do­wed by the poor often mum and inar­ti­cu­late guests and his con­ti­nuing to make the same point­less points over and over.

    Every dog has its day.

  7. piaNo Gravatar says:

    And I was going to run out and get The Sec­ret so I could have anything that I wan­ted without having to do anything. I have actually read of peo­ple who are sig­ning con­tracts to buy things, don’t know where the money is going to come from but have faith. Scary.

    More than scary. Cult like. I am going to read it because I can’t ima­gine what it says other than “believe” but I will read it in book stores.

    My crush on Bill Maher ended one day last year rather sud­denly. He just wasn’t that funny anymore

    I am glad that you still have your crushes on Paul Simon and Billy Joel. They need you

    Glad your inter­view went well.

  8. ChrisNo Gravatar says:

    I haven’t watched Bill Maher since he was on ABC, and that’s been years ago. I don’t have HBO so I couldn’t watch him now if I wan­ted to.

    Some­ti­mes I’ll hear of something inte­lli­gent from him, but it’s been a while since that’s hap­pe­ned too.

    Fake older boy­friends are such hassles.

  9. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    G: I’m a little late I know you’ve come and gone and always agree with me, except maybe about sui­cide girls.:)

    Jacob: I’ve said it before, your wife is a fine women.

    Coyo­te­mike: No he doesn’t.

    John: yea that was the easy one.
    My “extreme peculiarities” ??????

    Nope, never to waste and hour.Since when are you johnnym?

    wom­bat: you are my infa­mous wom­be­di­tor.
    Bill Maher has suf­fe­red from lack of any new thin­king over the last few years. That and he still has some kind of pro­blem with woman. I thought I could fix it but sadly I can’t .…so the boot. ;)

    jake: That dog is bar­king his last bark.

    Pia: Peo­ple are just not very smart. This is no sca­rier than Tm Cruise and Scientology.

    Chris: They are a hassle aren’t they. Too bad. When my next fake, married older boy­friend gets dum­ped I’ll call ya. ;)

  10. o_ceallaighNo Gravatar says:

    Here’s hoping they wish to have you join their pro­gram — and that you wish to join it. Mis­sed the whole Maher phe­no­me­non. Being a TV phobe will do that. But (sym­pathy for the ex) it’s gotta be tough to keep it hot year after year after year.

    Didn’t Billy Joel just marry some twenty­so­mething hot­tie? That wasn’t you, was it …? ;)

  11. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    OC: Actually the inter­view yes­ter­day was not one of the grad school inter­views, it was a follow-up for an paid internship I want this sum­mer in DC. I was pretty sure I had it prior to the follow-up, I’m fairly cer­tain now but will not know for cer­tain for maybe a cou­ple of weeks.
    The grad school stuff starts next week and goes into the follo­wing week with ran­dom free days in bet­ween. Kind of s waste of my time — those days in between.

    Not sure who Billy Joel married. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me.

  12. callmerandyNo Gravatar says:

    When you start trea­ting your real boy­friends bet­ter you won’t have to have fake older boy­friends. Treat me right goes both ways. Now you’re hating on the fla­ming libe­ral men. Hous­ton I think we have a problem.

    Haven’t watched Maher is years. I agree he needs to be off the list.

    What list? Is it pos­ted somewhere?

  13. mojo shiversNo Gravatar says:

    I’ve just never found him all that funny in the first place. Honestly, I thought it was more due to me than him, but I’m glad to see it might have been him.

  14. DougNo Gravatar says:

    Wel­come to the club, and I agree. The show has gone from great to “why do I still watch this.” I think David Kuo should get a do-over because he was inte­rrup­ted every time he was about to make a great point and Roseanne Barr isn’t panel material.

  15. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    Randy: I’ll make note of that.

    mojo: More power to you. Really he used to be fun­nier now he is sounds like a bro­ken record.

    Doug: I am coming up in the world when you start agreeing with me Doug.

    Yeah.

  16. coyotemikeNo Gravatar says:

    When I get famous enough, can I be a new fake boyfriend?

  17. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    Unless you are twenty years older than me you are disqualified. :)

  18. daneNo Gravatar says:

    Good, glad you dum­ped him. He is use­less des­pite the fact he is an alumni here.

  19. coyotemikeNo Gravatar says:

    dam­mit. Shot down by my own youth.

  20. joegarbialNo Gravatar says:

    Can’t disa­gree.
    He used to make a cou­ple of points, now he makes the same points. I used to watch him reli­giously, after the sea­son where the Democ­rats lost the big elec­tion the whole show star­ted to wear out its wel­come around here. I think he needs another venue maybe a break to go out and put his money where his mouth is.

  21. direheroicsNo Gravatar says:

    I used to love Den­nis Miller because he had a voca­bu­lary and used inte­lli­gence to come at topics.

    Lately though, his ultra-conservative mind­set is so off-putting that even if he does make a funny, it gene­rally makes me want to run screa­ming into the hills.

  22. DBKNo Gravatar says:

    This week’s show had Maher expres­sing his dis­gust that ser­vice women in Iraq must pro­tect them­sel­ves from male US sol­diers. What was his take? That there were just too many guys way too far from avai­la­ble “pussy”. That was his word. The asshole. Like men com­mit rape because they don’t have a girlfriend.

    I long ago conc­lu­ded the guy was full of it.

  23. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    dbk:

    I am boy mis­sing that boy at all.

  24. Marnie BowenNo Gravatar says:

    Is Bill Maher the “Den­nis Miller” of the Likud, now?

    Tom Bom­ba­dil seems to believe so:
