Reminder: In addition to avoiding his parents and forcing his mother to attend one of his gigs just to bring him a Christmas present, Jim Norton would routinely go on a national radio show and mock his mother for how awful he thought her gifts were.

Also in addition to sleeping in a race car bed at 50 years old.

Any man who can fit in a race car bed should be forced to sleep in one.

Jim once bought ozzy a bunch of books as gifts. He even wrapped them. Ozzy didn't give a shit about them at all and walked out without them. Jim cried. O&A laughed. I wish Jim had killed himself.

The part where Jimmy desperately tries to fake some self-deprecating laughter, like he's in on the joke, is the moment when you can actually see his Ozzy fanboy hopes and dreams shatter into a million pathetic shards of failure. The hours and hours of thought and care he put into his attempt to get Ozzy to love him not only failed horribly, it resulted in him standing there like a complete imbecile as his coworkers roared with laughter around him. It was probably one of the top twenty most psychologically scarring moments of his adult life and it was really hilarious.

The woman clothed and housed him for 30 years yet he has the gall to trash her gifts. God forbid she try to do something nice for you. The irony is he is the worst gift giver by far of any adult I’ve ever heard of. He had the autistic idea of giving ozzy 20 pounds of books on the Beatles years ago, and now last week he got Ozzy yet another book. Surely it ended up in the garbage.

Not that I don't believe it, but we got any sources for Jimmy living at home in his 30s?

He’s said it multiple times on Jim and Sam. He moved into an apartment with Florentine when he had just turned 30. Prior he was living with him parents, Florentine was his first Roommate.
