Max Shapiro's column in Card Player

[Masquerade]

Has anyone ever found one of his "Big Denny" columns funny? Ever? I'm serious.

If so, were you under the influence of any narcotic or psychotropic chemicals? And what other things do you find amusing? [eg. drowning puppies or genital herpes]

[Michael Emery]

His columns are terrible. I've thought about writing to Cardplayer several times and complaining about them being put in.

They need to pull the plug on that and the guy who thinks your coming over to the old folks home to eat with him and talk poker.

loosen up.

shapiro is the nuts.

wtf is the problem? that page in the way? just don't read it.

[Men the Master]

I absolutely think his articles are funny. I also think that narcotic and psychotropic chemicals are good for you. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Max hasn't been funny since 1933...but you know the one I can't stand?

That old fart who always starts his columns with a food reference...you know....

"Hi. come on in. I'm just making a cow tongue and brocolli sandwich. Pull up a seat."

That guy.

ARGGHHHH

Drives me crazy.

Yeah, Roy West I think. Cheesy as hell.

Max Shapiro has never made me laugh or even smile once. This guy reminds me of some kind of unfunny uncle who comes over on Thanksgiving and won't stop with the old Borscht Belt routines he remembers from the 20's...and doesn't know how to tell the jokes himself or have any idea what's funny. You know the kind -- the one who wants to bring the conversation to a screeching stop to tell everyone the latest pun it made him think of.

I find max shapiro to be hilarious.... except for those stupid big denny articles, I wouldn't read those unless I had a gun to my head.
