George Carlin, R.I.P.

One of the funniest, most brilliant comic minds ever. The guy who reinvented stand-up comedy for everyone.

It's my fault. This kind of thing always happens when I'm too busy to write a long post.

Seven words come immediately to mind. All are appropriate for the occasion.

Tick Warning!

Several people have sent me this and it's so important, I'm going to break my Soup Silence and post it...

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done myself a couple times unintentionally...but this one is real, and important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid!!!!

You and me both.

If you don't know the meaning of the above image, read this. And I'll be back to you (and answering e-mail) as soon as I finish scripts for this coming Wednesday.

Today's Video Link

Here's about twelve minutes (in two parts) of George Carl, one of the funniest man who ever lived. This is very similar to the act I saw him perform one night at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas. I was in town with my friend Len Wein and I told him as had to go see the show there and see George Carl. Len said, "What does he do?" I said, "He gets tangled in the microphone cord." Len didn't get it but since I also assured him the show contained topless showgirls, he agreed to go, wondering all the time why I was interested in a guy whose act was getting tangled in the microphone cord. As we sat there howling at Mr. Carl, Len — gasping for air — managed to say, "I get it." You will, too...
