Yes, I know it's a rather tasteless low blow...
but I did get a real laugh out of this (and it is the truth).

George Carlin Tells His Story
From Nonreligious Questions
​
quote:
Here’s a long and remarkable interview with George Carlin, as he recounts his life and career. Carlin is, in my view, the single greatest stand up comedian ever. He’s the gold standard, as the old cliche goes. He had it all in terms of thinking, writing and performing.
​
It runs almost 50 minutes. I haven't watched it yet, but I thought it good to get it listed in this topic.

Buzsaw does Foghorn Leghorn

Every time you say that I continue to read your posts using the voice of Foghorn Leghorn...

"The first half of his name is a joke about him being loud and obnoxious, while the second half refers to a breed of chicken (a white leghorn)."
Foghorn is often the initial aggressor out of self-amusement and subsequently on the 'losing' end of gags.

I'm a Nielsen family now!
Via the snail mail:
​
quote:
Your home was specially selected to represent television viewing in your community.
​
In a few days, you will receive a large blue and white envelope in the mail. It contains a short TV viewing survey.
​
Take the time to have your viewing count and represent homes in your area. Please complete and return your survey as soon as you receive it.
​
It was 2 weeks since I visited my PO box, so I don't know how long the "large blue and white envelope" has been waiting for me. Typically, I pick up my mail once or twice a month.
​
I haven't had a TV in my home for something along the lines of 7 years, and I (maybe) see about an hour of TV in a month.
​
I wonder how many "haven't watched anything" responses they get?

Judicial snark?
quote:
Latest Religious Messages - The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that an insane person cannot be executed, no matter how heinous the crime, because he cannot understand why he is being killed. Notwithstanding that, Florida Judge David Glant has ordered John Ferguson, 64, to death for a 1978 multiple-murder conviction, despite evaluations from 30 doctors that Ferguson is an insane paranoid schizophrenic. (At press time, the U.S. Court of appeals is considering Ferguson’s lawyers’ last-second challenge.) Judge Glant acknowledges that Ferguson is delusional, but found that he nevertheless understands why he is being executed. Ferguson’s belief in a Jesus-like resurrection upon death, with a glorious afterlife, is not, Glant said, so significantly different from beliefs (that) other Christians may hold so as to consider it a sign of insanity.
