Carlin and foxes...
- The first time I heard about George Carlin was when his sit-com came out in the early 90s. I liked it, maybe because it was good, or maybe because I was in middle school and way too into sit-coms. Either way, I really liked his delivery. I mentioned to my mom that I found George Carlin hilarious. She replied something along the lines of, "He has such a dirty mouth. You shouldn't watch him," which, over the past 10-12 years, I've discovered is mom-code for "He's hilarious, and I don't want you to have fun." She had a similar review for South Park, Richard Pryor, and somehow Greg Giraldo. When she said that Greg Giraldo is dirty, that's when I decided that she should never know that I do comedy.
Back to the subject: It's really sad about Carlin. It's a shame that he didn't get to put out 10 more HBO specials. We would have all liked that. However, he led a great life, was happy, and left us with a great body of work. Thanks to George Carlin.
-This is a 180, but how about some funny observations? Yes? Okay...
My friend, Glen, and I, are in a wedding next month. I called him and said, "Did you get fitted for your tux?" He said, "Uh, did I get a sitter for my fox?" He did get fitted, but did not find a sitter.
-Essay on global warming and its impending consequences by lead NASA climate scientist, Dr. James Hanson. Not funny.
-NFL-star-because-of his-criminal-record-not-because-of-his-on-field-skills, Pacman Jones, has announced that he no longer wants people to call him Pacman, but rather Adam. His reason is the negative connotations that go with the name Pacman. Wait a minute... a convicted criminal says that Pacman has too many negative connotations? Did I miss something? Did Pacman beat Ms. Pacman or something? Did he rape Q-Bert? If so, in the nose, or does Q-Bert have another orifice that the gaming public doesn't know about? What did I miss? I can't tell if he thinks the name Pacman is the reason he has been arrested so many times, instead of the reason being that he was breaking the law. This is awesome. It's like when a comic decides to start wearing a sports jacket, or gets a haircut to get their career back on track.
- If you have B-O and are wearing a suit, the B-O cancels out the suit. And my shirt being a little wrinkled isn't a big deal.
- I was on an elevator with a construction worker. He didn't look like a standard construction worker though. Mustache, jeans, boots, mesh tank-top (not wife-beater, not muscle shirt), a Mickey Mouse tattoo, and a gold necklace. He turned to a friend and said, "You know, there's nothing on this Earth like tar." His friend replied, "Ain't that the truth." I wish I was dressed the part to chime in, but my tank-tops were at home.
