The name “Seth” once belonged to
the evil god of storms, deserts, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian culture.
For reals.
I know this tidbit from various
classes and professors etc etc I go to college no big deal etc etc, but I’ve
started to wonder if the evil demon Seth is not still living among us. Because
I got to see Seth Meyers last week, and it felt like it took place in the
seventh circle of Hell.
What I mean is that I
witnessed a very funny standup routine performed in Satan’s armpit. That’s
right, folks. It was hot as a jogger’s balls in the Patrick Gymnasium. As a
place specifically designed for intense physical activity, it seems like
getting a little air in there would really serve the athlete’s well. “Hey dude,
want to play some B-Ball?” “Sure, brah! Let’s go to that court that feels like
we’re in a feverish dog’s mouth! My ass sweat reaching my ankles really helps
me bring my A-game.”
But other than the rancid
sweltering fumes of the sweaty masses, the show was undeniably a success. Seth
was consistently hilarious, and consistently attractive, which only served to
make the room feel, if possible, even more
like the inside of a hot pocket on Mars.
But what I really actually
appreciated was how clean his show was. Believe me, I am all for the
well-placed raunchy comment now and then. I’m even all for the ill-placed raunchy comment all the time, but I can really respect
someone’s talent when they do away with the politically incorrect and/or
disgusting sexual humor crutch.
You go, Seth Meyers! Your entertaining performance has proven to me that you are not the god of deserts
and foreigners. But if you are, I am very sorry if I offended you.
Please don’t curse me.
loved opening the blog to see such a lovely man grinning at me! (I can't believe he's 48 he is so youthfully handsome!)
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions of the gym were so funny it almost made it worth the hear (almost...)
ps. i feel ya about the captchas. i'm indignant about having to prove my humanity by deciphering illegible nonsense words.
No way I thought he was 38?? Jesus if he's almost 50 then he can't be human. That's unreal.
ReplyDeleteWait you're right; I mistyped. But still, he doesn't even seem 38
ReplyDeleteSuch a good show but completely agree with you about the heat. In fact everywhere inside Patrick (all the fitness class rooms, the recreation center) seems to be in dire need of some decent air conditioning. Despite the heat though, he was great - and I agree with you about appreciating the clean jokes; I was expecting a lot more crudeness and was pleasantly surprised.
