Who's going to be the jersey sponsor?

Donate To GopherHole



The HBS stadium deal ends in 2030 I am pretty sure

I wonder if someone will fold them together. Whoever is on the jersey will be my prime suspect


Huntington Bank did not extend their deal by exercising their option. (I am pretty sure)

I hear there's a couple Somalian daycares that could definitely be a jersey sponsor because they have $9 billion of unused money.

PS, I am just having some fun and making a joke. I think no matter what side of the spectrum you were on, you can laugh a Little at this.


I wonder if Cub foods will play into this.

Pro tip:

When your explanation is included in writing your "joke" for why it's "funny", it's not a good joke, and probably shouldn't be posted.

He didn't explain the joke. He just said it was a joke. You should pretend to be a reader next time.

I am not a professional comedian or joke writer. Probably why my joke sucked! That's awesome that you are as I am honestly jealous. The stand up show I ever saw was Mitch Heidberg. I have been hooked on live comedy ever sense.

I have to (due to people on this board that get trigggered and need safe spaces) explain when I make a joke and it involves political jabs as some posters have have TDS.

I went to a Mitch Hedberg show when I was in college in Grand Forks. Half way through his show, he asked if anyone wanted a shot. I don't know if he was serious or not, but my buddy and I rose our hands. He bought shots of whiskey for us and himself, and we all did them in the middle of his show 😄

Mitch H is a legend. And you have a story that supports that. That is a memory that's going to be tough to beat. Awesome

You don’t need to be a comedy professor to understand that when a joke needs a written disclaimer about how everyone should laugh, you have told the audience something didn’t land. That’s not a credential flex, that’s just observing reality.

And for what it’s worth, that is how jokes are judged. Not by semantic defenses, and not by people arguing definitions instead of reactions.

There is a comedian now based in LA, Rich Chassler (recently married to the very funny Sarah Halstead) that spent a couple of weeks in the Florida Keys with Mitch Hedberg doing a series of sets in a couple clubs.

Rich is the ONLY person to ever write a joke that Mitch used in a set (confirmed by Mitch's wife Lynn).

It was a throw away about if you're ever caught with drugs at the airport to tell them that you're on an official acid trip or some nonsense like that. Rich told that to Mitch because he was worried about the drugs in his suitcase on the way to the Keys, and Mitch asked him if he could have it. Of course the answer was yes, so Mitch ran with it for a few sets. Then he told Rich it didn't feel authentic to him so he "gave it back".

A couple months later, Rich is performing at some other club in NYC or LA and a guy does the same joke. So Rich approaches them after the set and explains how he wrote that joke and gave it to Mitch. Turns out that Mitch "gave" that joke to about 5 other comedians, but was always too high to remember that he did that.

Mitch was a legend, and it's too bad that there is a jackass trying to steal his entire style and vibe and pretending to not know. AND this jackass says that his favorite comedian is Demitri Martin. Really? Demitri is NO ONE'S favorite comedian!

Good play. The entire rest of the theater sheepishly sat on their hands thinking they were about to be set up for a joke.

You're the only one who proclaims to be a comedic professional but I'm saying he did not explain his joke.

There is a difference between saying "I'm joking" and explaining a joke. Think like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog - he was still funny despite saying "I keed I keed". Tons of comedians say "it was a joke", "I kid", during their sets.
