“I wanted to be a rapper when I was a kid, but rap was so different in the eighties, it was just so innocent, like, ‘Ribbida-rap-rap-rapper raptastic!’ It’s gotten so arbitrarily aggressive, rappers now’ll be like, ‘It’s 2007, motherfuckers!’ I’m like, ‘You’re mad about the date? You gotta pick your battles, man, I mean, you get mad about that, no one’s gonna believe you when you’re mad about real stuff.’ Like, ‘You crash into my car, motherfucker,’ ‘Yeah, but you were mad it was 2007! You’re like the boy who cried “motherfucker.”’”
Mike Birbiglia, What I Should Have Said Was Nothing (via novazembla)
I love the phrase “boy who called motherfucker.”
