You can make an argument that Norm Macdonald was somewhat unrecognized or unappreciated (that moth joke, which I linked to two days ago, had me busting a gut), but agree he wouldn't even crack the top 10.

Interestingly, I just googled "best stand-up comedians" and found one list had him at #22, another at #20, and a third had him unranked (but went for a lot of older comedians the other lists ignored).

Yeah, "one of the best of his generation" is something I could go along with, but the AT in GOAT stands for "all time."
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

So more GOTT (Greatest of This Time) than GOAT.

A compelling argument could be made that he is the Greatest Comedian Of All Time Named Norm.

I googled "Comedians named Norm" and sounds like a guy named Norm Crosby was a fairly big deal in his day, but I can't say I'm familiar with him.

The reaction to meeting The Butcher the first time is spot on for me. :blush:

His WoW one is great too

Jesus. That is fucking spot on and really sad.

As one of the comments said though "Don't be sad it is gone, be happy it existed!"

Yeah. Also one of the comments about people chasing a high was true.

That is a great way to think about it.

Black bears are majestic, I never realized that these big hulky animals could be such agile gymnasts.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz4G-NFKXxE.  It's a shame that the guy creating these videos is slowly killing them.  :(

Agile and fast.  This guy is an idiot - the bear is going to get shot one day because it has learned to get food at a house, without fear.

The best thing he could have done when he saw the bear coming to his porch is yell at it to scare it away.

Not an idiot. An asshole.  Bears get put down all the time because of this shit.
PDH!

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Yeah, the guy making the videos is definitely an asshole, he knows that bears should not be fed, but he pretends that leaving bird seed out for bears is somehow not feeding them.  The idiots are the commenters who praise him and enable him.  This guy is probably not going to get hurt, but the next hunting season, these bears are going to practically walk themselves to the weigh station.
