    This ep is Diner-mite!!!

    Love ya so much ya big lugs!

    Is TBGSS filmed in NY?  If so, how would we get tickets for the audience???  Perhaps you can arrange with Sarah to post some of your live appearances on the blog so we can find you in advance.

    Mmmm diner food.  There's so many great ones in the NY/NJ area.  I have to think while all diner food is good, my fave remains a nice big breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and toast that they butter for you.  YUMMO!!!

    Loved the Potter/Fitzwilliam sketch(Fitzwilliam is my fave character).  I was howling!  Julie...great Hagrid.  Johnny made a wonderful Snape too.  Funny that Rachel was in the audience, she played Potter on SNL too.

    Ladies enjoy you tremendously....can't wait to see you and the other AE gals at the Dinah!  My vicarious thrill through the wonderful windows of the AE site!

    Have a Happy St Paddy's Day on Monday!!

    Didn't know Julie was from MASS........I'm from South Boston =(    My dream (lol) is to be a successful filmmaker (as I laugh again).

    Umm...did Kate...

    ...just call Julie "Jew-dge?"  (Sorry about the spelling but that's what it sounded like!).  Oh, lord.  Pet names?? I think I know where this is going!!  Sweeeet!  That means that there is a possibility that one of my fantasies could be fulfilled:  Making out with the two of ya's at the same time!  Annnnd back to reality - great vlogs...especially the belch followed by the series of snorts; classic!!  Keep 'em coming!

    My super power.....?  Mind control?  Maybe.  Dunno - never really thought about it.  But if I had it I could persuade Logo to sign you guys to 50 year contracts!!  Or maybe HBO?  Skin-emax?  Yeaaaaah....

    Oh yeah I would've bought every one of those episodes/series for BGSS but in Canada we can't purchase them online.  Any suggestions?

    I LOVE DINERS! Cheeseburger

    I LOVE DINERS! Cheeseburger and fries all the way! But not for breakfast, obviously, for that it's toast, scrambled eggs and some sausages :D

    Kate & Julie... you can go anywhere and I will be there to watch these vlogs.
    The ultimate challenge, a public library? Or would that just lead to too much ssssh!-ing

    That or some kind of public transit, a bus... a train... the mall!

    Is the best abbrev. ever.

    This vlog was also the BEST thing ever.

    I've totes been waiting for the JOJO impersonation. "Big and strong!" lol.

    You guys are so funny and cute and awesome for doing this in public!

    Fav diner food: Grilled cheese because i'm like 5 years old at heart.

    Superpower: Peter Petrelli. the end.

    Questions

    Hi girls, I wanted to know what you guys would like to do with your careers. Comedians have the opportunity to go in so many directions. Stand up, sit coms, sketches, movies, talk shows, plays, etc. Any plans to do "non-comedy" some day? Keep up the good work, you 2 are great together and we love you!

    be invisible.  Or to be "that fly on the wall".  Imagine the possibilities!

    FOOD!

    Favorite diner food, yum. For a drink it would be a strawberry shake then just a burger and fries. If it is in the morning and they are not serving that stuff yet it would have to be a tall stack of pancacks, mmm.

    uh... what does totes mean? JULIE! Julie! Julie! Julie!!!!!

    I love these!  Love that you do them every week- you two are so damn funny.

    And Julie, you sack o' charm in your belching beguiling-ness...oh my!

    1.) Are you two performing at Dinah Shore?  Sketches or stand-up?  Will you be wearing panties or mantis? 

    2.) When you go back in time, who do you want to 'do', Kate?  ( and you're single? Really?!  Seriously. Ok...? So that leads to my third question, 3) Kate, could you possibly be frequenting bars that cater to only blind and/or deaf women?  If so, that might be contributing to your dry spell.... I don't know, just a thought.  

    4) Found out Julie was commitment ceremony-ed !  All the femmes in our San Francisco monthly 'we love Julie Goldman' group were so distraught that we even stopped sewing our big quilt with your face on it, made out of random pieces of dyke wear donated by all the flopped futch-wear companies.  Sigh.. at least my tattoo is permanent...  In a consolatory spirit, we are thinking of making a pilgrimage to NYC to give your partner a hand-knitted "Congrats! Ya bagged 'er!" doily/trophy just to show there are no hard feelings.

    5) p.s.. In case you are wondering, I am actually sane and have a lovely soft butch of my own.  We both think you're brilliant and rock like a hurricane, so keep up with the fabulous funny!

    funny ladies

    okay i love a "hot cake sandwich"...if nobody knows what i am referring to, it is 2 "hotcakes"/pancakes...with a fried egg in the middle. Like a fried egg pancake sandwich. very deliciouso.

    I would want the power to know what people are thinking. I know it' a bit cliche, but i mean...it would help me out a lot because i tend to read people the wrong way.

    also...i had NO idea Kate was so young. Just out of college sort of? I'm pretty sure she's the youngest Afterellen vlogger. What an accomplishment. Cheers

    you guys are so awesome! i want to go to a diner with you now!

    Julie! I love that funny

    Julie! I love that funny shirt you wore in the Big Straight Sketch Show, video 5 - it said Male Escort on the back, and a name on the front. What's the deal with that shirt? Was it a joke? Where did you get it?

    Here's the link to the vid, it's #5 --> http://www.afterellen.com/blog/sarahwarn/big-straight-sketch-show

    Awrighty..

    Bwahahahaa funny stuff.

    What kinda diner food do you like? How about NONE!

    What would your superpowers be? I'm with Julie, I would like to be able to fly. And my name would be Flying-without-wings-but-still-looking-good-in-those-mandies. That didn't really make any sense, but I don't care =)

    I have a brilliant idea. How about bringing your asses abroad?? Well okay, the rest of you as well. And well Idk, maybe to Copenhagen?? Bring your show here already, you're welcome to crash at my place anytime, that's how much I love you!!

    Anyhoot, thx for a great vlog.

    Diner food ...

    Breakfast anything. Although preferably French Toast. And if, for some reason, I'm not in the mood for brekky, I enjoy a good patty melt. On Rye.

    Super Hero name - Pirategrrrl. for sheez. 

    Super Hero power - The ability to control water and water-inhabiting creatures. Of any kind. Kind of like Poseidon, but better. and Female.

    Super Hero vehicle - Pirate ship. That can fly.

    gay percentage

    ok i have a question, since the celesbian interview when you were talking about what percent gay you were i've been wondering... if i think two men together is hot does that make me less gay because i'm finding men hot, or more gay because i'm finding gay hot, whatever the sexes?!

    Love you Julie and Kate - we still laugh every time we watch Full Frontal Julie, particularly the pube-twirling scene!

    We want to buy the Big Gay Sketch show but it's not available in Canada - what can we do?

    food!

    my favorite subject.. i have become addicted to the cobb sandwhich at kerbey lane cafe in austin. by addicted i mean i've had it twice. but i think about it a lot.

    superhero power: time shifting. this way if some dude wants to shoot me in the head- i can just pause time, move over a little, then be on my merry way. i guess i'd also need lightning quick reflexes and/or the power to predict when i am about to be in harm's way. ok, time shifting and mind reading abilities. done.

    question: what celebrity do you wish was gay and your gf?

    pooty's picture

    thank you

    you two are the funniest duo i've ever seen. thanks for sharing your comedic genius with the world. one little bitty favor .... MORE CELESBIAN INTERVIEW SPECIAL SPECIALS! <3 u both!

    indie fest 1

    HI Julie and Kate!

       Julie, my girlfriend and I are heading to Cancun for Indie Fest 1 with olivia vacations. We were so thrilled to see that you're going to be there too! Kate, are you going to be there? Can't wait until May 3rd! See you there!

    HoneyLove's picture

    I love you two!!!

    I'm in nyc how can i go see TBGSS?!?!

    I'm vegetarian and my fave diner food is usually whatever i can get...just kidding. I love homefries and pancakes (yummy yum yum)

     

    I would have teleport powers if i was a superhero but not quite as laborious as in that movie JUMPER. I would just teleport to visit friends or get to class ontime etc...

    my fave undies are the boyshort style with lacey details :} (the kind where half ur ass hangs out but u don't get a permanant painful wedgie like with a thong)

    OMG

    Julie, will you be my homedawg? We are pretty much from the same place..... I'm from the Concord area, in a little town whose name should be "The Middle of Nowhere" (It's real name is Boxborough, but my friends and I like to call it Bumfuck haha.... gotta love those gay boys). As for your superpower, you could fly around like Super Liza!

    I really liked Kate's idea of stopping time ("and you could... do it...."). I want to be able to stop time, do cool stuff while it's stopped, and undo dumb things I've done in the past. I would also like foolproof gaydar......

     I'm going to second onemorehour's question....

    I love the whole tone of

    I love the whole tone of these vlogs! They feel all forbidden and illicit! One week you're in an echoing, underground situation. The next week, huddled together in a diner. Sort of like you're on the run from the law, bringing us your vlog come hell or highwater. It makes me sit up and take notice! Everything takes on an air of urgency and importance. Diner food, you say?! WHAT ABOUT DINER FOOD??! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO YOU LIKE EGGS OR A GOOD BLT, LIGHT MAYO WITH A SCHMEAR OF MUSTARD, MAYBE?!

    On a completely different note, why does everybody and their Mother want their super power to be flight? What's so great about it? Birds can fly and their lives don't seem so super special to me. Besides the fact that their able to shit on the land bound, their lives seem pretty humdrum. Being able to shit on whoever you wanted would be good, though. People would think twice about pissing you off, that's for sure. In fact, I bet you could get people to do just about anything to avoid being shit on.

    I've made up my mind; I want my superpower to be the ability to take large dumps on the heads of others without any consequence. I'd be the most powerful human on earth! I'm not sure what my costume would look like but I'm pretty sure it would involve a butt flap.

    yowza yum yum

    i love a good diner breakfast...eggs over easy, crispy shredded hashbrowns, and pancakes with lots of butter! of course you can't go wrong with a yummy cheeseburger, fries with mayonnaise, and a butterscotch shake...(there's a really great place in minneapolis that i was addicted to when i lived there).

     

    and superpower? well, to fly, of course... :)

     

    why don't you two come to my place for your next secret location? i make some killer carnitas and guacamole...

    diner food

    My favorite is cheese blintzes and fruit.

    Julie, you are so fucking funny when you belch. You have to belch some more. The snorting and the belching was so fabulous. It made my week.

    Now for a question .... ahem ... you said we could ask you anything. Are you two together? Because - I am so goddamn sorry, you two just seem as though you are in love.

     

    Forgive me. I had to get it out.

    You 2 are great!!

    I love your show together! You guys feed off of each other! (excuse the pun)!! I downloaded your show in itunes!! Love it!

    Kate... you have the cutest dimples : )

    How long have you two been friends?

    It must be a riot hanging out with you both!

    Keep us laughing!

    This is depressing

    Ladies, you seem like fun to hang out with. It reminds me of how depressing I make my life when I isolate.. Actually, I love indulging in depression sometimes, just like diner food. My favorite diner foods... eggs benedict and french fries.

    My super power: to actually be attracted to emotionally available people who think I am pimp as f___. 

    If you guys say that comedy clubs suck, then where should a fledgling lesbian comedian get started, or do we just have to suck it up and deal with the whack scene of comedy clubs?

    what is it about dykes and diners?

    diners are the bomb...the best are the 24-hour kind (yes i know of ones that aren't) that serve breakfast 24/7....because i love the creamed chipped beef on rye toast with a side of scrapple (though i think the scrapple is a strictly southeastern PA kind of thing...)

    hmmm...superpowers....so can i wish for kate's superpower? great idea stopping time...though teleportation would come in handy too...especially if i stop time and have to get somewhere...with my luck all the cars would be stopped in such a way that i couldn't get around them so teleportation would be a must-have...

    Human Time Machine

    I think I'd have to go with Julie's "Human Time Machine" power. You can do a lot with that. A flying time machine of course.

    When I go to diners my cheap friends and I usually just split sampler plates of horrible fried food such as fried chicken, onion rings, and mozerella sticks. I only eat those cheesy sticks of goodness when that happens. When I'm rolling in the dough and want to impress the ladies with how many calories I can down in one sitting...I order chicken parmesiano. I know for a fact that is not how you spell it, but it's chicken with pasta covered in cheese. TERRIBLE for my guts, but heavenly in my mouth.

    Random, but I have the same dilema as a previous poster about finding two men together sexy. Same concern...am I more gay for finding gay relationships/sex hot, or less gay because it's two guys? I think I just see the most chemistry with gay couples and they seem more in tune with eachother...so they're more sexy to me. It's not like I want to join them in bed or anything. I leave it up to you two to decide. Unless I disagree with you.

    I've been waiting for this

    I've been waiting for this vlog since Tuesday! I don't even bother to read all the blog posts anymore, I just refresh the page, see that your vlog hasn't been posted yet, and get mad. I think I may need help.

    My favorite diner food used to be anything with bacon. But I don't eat bacon anymore, and haven't found a new favorite. Also - I could KILL for good fries, but no diners here seem to serve fries with veggie food, and I refuse to pay extra for fries when my friend gets hers with her meal.

    Boring Diner food

     

     You know I dont think I have ever been to a diner that serves the two dishes you two mentioned. All the ones around here are more deep fried chicken strips or Cheeseburger with bacon. I thought that was like a rule or something.

     

    To awesome My prof. and I were just talking about super powers and she wanted to stop time to get work done. I mentioned to her the not aging aspect of it. Then to hear it on here the next day. Super freaky lol

     

    As for my own power, I would love to be able to split myself into two whole people. And one of them wouldnt have to eat to save money. She would work all the time, and I could just concentrate on school and getting to know the ladies around here. As it is, no time for social life 4 me. Ah the woes of a poor college student. :)

     

    You are responsible for your own happily ever after.

    Corned Beef on rye....

    1) Love Julie's music...please do more!

     2) My super power? Being able to see a blue glow around gay people, the gayer the bluer...and oddly...I mostly want this super power in airports. Huh. 

     3) What was your first girl kiss/crush?

     4) Could Rachel Dratch ever do a skit with you guys, please please please? 

    5) Kate, you are amazing and mesmerizing  and the two of you should develop more projects.

    the life and times of Lezbot (my superhero name)

    i have thought long and hard about potential super powers... and i would like to have the power of making people illiterate/literate. couldn't that screw some villian over if all of a sudden they couldnt read... it is CRAZY!!! plus i could travel around the world and give the love of reading to those who couldn't... with that power i would totally be on Opera, and conquer the world... and possibly gain the power to spell better too... cuz i cant spell.

    when it comes to diner food, i tend to get the simple grilled cheese sandwich with homefries...i do like my melty cheese and bread.

    mh mh good.

     

    anywho, love your vblogs, they make my week!

    they bring humour and joy to my bedroom, and make rainbows explode out of my ears.

    so damn funny

     You both are so damn funny!

     On the diner topic I am going to have to go with the large stack o' pancakes, eggs, sausage links, homefries, toast with the butter and strawberry jam all courtesy of the Midnight Express Diner on the upper east side.  I do love the jam.

     Super power would be to have gills.  How awesome would that be!

     Kate, please go out with me? :)  I'm pretty normal, aside from my desire for gills.

    Vegan power, activate! Shape of facon!

    Now see this episode reminded me of how sad it is that I can no longer have those favorite diner foods of mine... I used to love going to diners and having big stacks of pancakes back when I was a vegetarian. But now I am one of those pesky vegans... and damn proud of it, of course.

    So I guess my special power would be the ability to make any meal vegan. So I could order in the breakfast special, snap my fingers and it would all be made out of soy and stuff and no animals would be killed or abused for my taste bud's enjoyment. :)

    diner food and super powers....

    Loved the vlog. It's kinda fun watching you two act like conjoined twins.

    Julie love the new do. It really suits you.

    I love diner food even though it doesn't fit in my healthy eating lifestyle. But I figure you only live once, what the hell! I love eating breakfast food any time of the day. I usually order 2 eggs over hard, home fries (or french fries) and wheat toast with no butter (sometimes onion bagel with cream cheese). I also love grilled cheese with french fries (it's great for breakfast).

    So I really had to think hard about this superpower question. Can I have two powers pretty please? I would really like to be able to travel through time and change things for the good. Like could you image if you were able to stop Hitler before he started his path of madness? Or you are able to go in the future and get the cure for cancer? I also would like to have the power to heal people emotionally and physically. I think that would make this world a better place to live.

    Can't wait for the next vlog.

    Super Diner!!!

    If I had a super power, I would be able to read peoples minds.  I've always wanted to know what they're thinking.  My favorite diner food is hamburger and fries, and for breakfast I like pancakes and sausage LINKS ^_^. 

    I love the vlogs, they're really funny.
