A New Mike
Posted December 22nd, 2006 by Mike Faerber
I'm referring for once not to me but Curtiss... the jackass who does fucked up shit with enemas and things and now writes about it in his PIC column... Also don't forget Chris Phelan. But i'm sure this is old news.
And since Court hasn't been blogging lately, I figured I'd fulfill that whole "PIC Behind the scenes" role.
New babies... new new babies. Ah let's break it down into a easy to swallow format:
NEW POINTSINCASE COLUMNISTS = (For you)
- More chances for laughter.
- More chances for suck.
- 8 columns, 4 Wed, 4 Sun. Nice and even. I wonder how many the average reader tackles? Week-in Week-out? This sunday will be X-mas eve. How long til you check those arties out? Do you ever go back and give a past "bad" column a chance? Do you still read Nate after deciding week after week that he's still an asshole? YOU TELL ME!
- "I'm going to leave a scathing comment"
- "Oh man, That part, where you talked about her...*breaks into laughter*... had me rolling on the floor... AT THE OFFICE. I'm now fired you fucking attention whore."
- A chance to tease a introverted humor writer into thinking that you and him will someday DO IT, while still knowing that possibility will never come to fruition. All of the fun, none of the guilt. (so true, Rebello)
- An increase in likelihood that you aren't reading this blog... right now. Dammit.
NEW POINTSINCASE COLUMNISTS = (for me)
- More money from editing!
- More editing. FUCK!
- A more varied spectrum of writing that I shall study and dissect to further my position as comedy scholar.
- A varied specturm of writing that shall provoke my jealous nature as it is "better" and "Bro-worthier."
- Not to mention hindering my attempts, through lack of time and confidence, to launch my new column. (OMG did he just leak that for the first time... and possibly in an attempt to make it public and thereby force himself to get around to it? yes.)
- "So Alli, as your editor, it is my charge to insert monstrous, intimidating diction into your piece. Are you savvy to my insinuation?"
- "So Curtiss... Phelan and I are going to make out later, wanna join?"
- Seriously does anybody read this?
On a final note I'll just put it this way. PIC is one writer away from being in its 2nd generation of writers, maybe 3rd depending on how you look at it. Go check out the old columns section, it's kinda creepy. WOoooooooOOoooooo. Ghosts of PIC PAST!!!
While were at it, let's remember when Dane Cook was a funny guy who tickled me in so many ways instead of a national sell-out tool.
I know I'm on the bitter comics bandwagon, but just like Family Guy and Anchorman, all good things must die once people you hate start to like them.
I probably just lost 5 readers... which is only half so that's cool.

So, first generation is: Court, Simmonne, Justin and Emmanuel.
Then 2nd generation is: Mikey, Beech, Me, Ali, Nelson, Gaudio EMike
Then 3rd gen is: Curtiss, Allison, and Phelan and counting.
How do you do the math on this one?
Well it's a pretty muddy analysis, but you pretty much nailed it.
If you give 4 years per generation, as that's how long it takes to graduate, it would make sense that in 2 years you'll have two full gens gone by, with number 3 now running the show. Aw hell let's name them.
Founders: marked by classic observational humor.
Branchers: consider them gen X for experimentation and diversification. Notice the distinction between styles, voices, and columns.
Babies: Too early to name. Will they return to a classic mode or defy our generational definition by furthering the branching trend?
This is all subject to change. The founders is a clear group, but what is defined as gen 2 and 3 depends really on where we go from here.
I think about this too much.
