And you missed when you first heard of Emo Philips by (at least) six years.

Yes, I DO care that your avatar comes from Byrne's site. Now what did I say? "I don't care why your avatar is linked from Byrne's site." Can you parse the difference? Apparently not. So much for your "superior intellect."

As Larsen observed of your hero, we should probably also observe of you: a dumb guy who's convinced himself he's a smart guy.

I'm sorry. You were saying?

Oh, Emo Phillips is still not funny.

I was saying "I don't care why your avatar links from Byrne's site." Still can't figure it out?

Someone with no intelligence or sense of humor might think that, sure.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have taken the time to find out where my avatar comes from and then post about it.
There's nothing to figure out.

Emo Phillips = Not Funny.

I care THAT it links from Byrne's site. I don't care WHY it links from Byrne's site.

No, I don't expect you to understand the difference.

Peyton Holden = Not Smart.

I find Emo Phillips amusing. So do enough folks that he was able to make a very good living at plying his comedy stylings.

The only reason you've given for stating categorically that he's not funny is that you don't find him funny. In and of itself that only shows that YOU don't think he's funny, not that he isn't funny.
