emo

In the late 80s, early nineties, comedian Emo Phillips hit America with his whacky, bizarre and rather ridiculous sense of humor. He annoyed me, but then again he cracked me up. At times, I channel him to make sense of the world and wonder, "How would Emo see this?"

I think there's something to be said about going towards absurdity. Ah, but to make sense of this, one needs to be fully grounded in what it normal (or at least perceived as normal). Being unexpected is one way to anger, frustrate, amuse and complicate another's thinking. Emo Phillips did this. This guy's an odd duck, but that's okay.
