CUPS 38: Because College

Here’s a little mini-arc where I do a little bit of backstory telling. I definitely don’t think it’s necessary — CUPS the Comic is not even really a little bit about the game of CUPS — but I do think this it’s constructive to explain some of this stuff to those of you who may be interested in finding it out. Whenever I watch a movies, I just kind of roll with whatever they tell me to roll with — ‘Oh, this guy’s a pirate and a taxidermist? Cool, I’m in’. My wife, though, usually gets frustrated by this. She wants answers; She wants to know the why and the how. So this mini-arc is for you people who are like my wife. The demanding media consumer types.

CUPS 37: PCORTA

I’m going to be honest with you, if someone offered to pay me a living wage to just come up with fake advanced statistical metrics for sports that don’t exist, that would be the happiest day of my life.

CUPS 36: No Biggie

Skyping someone from the bathroom when you’re hungover is just the most obnoxious sort of call you could ever make. I’ve simultaneously been pooping while on the phone a solid forty times in my life, but this whole thing that Rita’s doing is just straight up rude as hell.

CUPS 35: RIIITTTAAA

Not pictured: Whatever Rick’s been doing for the last several hours. Like, here it is, 8:15 in the morning, and it sounds like his day is up, moving, and already having unique characteristics. Did he not go to sleep? Is he one of those insufferable people who never get hungover? Did he maybe get up, boot, rally, hit up the McDonalds and is just now finishing up a small Madden session before attempting to make contact with the real world? Alas, this is something that will probably never have an answer, unfortunately, because I don’t feel like delving deeper into that portion of the storyline. Sorry, guys. Sometimes you just gotta let the background stay a little bit blurry to make the foreground stand out.

CUPS 34: The Morning After

Hangovers. They’re the worst am I right? (applause break) I mean, seriously, it’s like God’s way of punishing us if you think about it (applause break). “Don’t have toooo much fun down there!” (raucous applause break, lean back in smug appreciation of yourself for creating a new mountaintop for which other comedians to aspire to climb to)
