George Carlin: 1937-2008
These days, most comedians swear like sailors and revel in shocking their audiences, but for standup comedy pioneers like George Carlin, who died yesterday of heart failure, swearing and shocking were not gratuitous. He wanted to shake up a hypocritical society and make people think about what "clean" language hides underneath it. (His famous "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television" routine got him arrested and went all the way to the Supreme Court, where they ruled that his language was "indecent" but not "obscene.") George Carlin will always be remembered as a comic genius.
Quip Stop: George Carlin
- The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
- I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
- Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?"
- Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?"
- Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?
- Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
- Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
- One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.
- Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
- Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Funny man, father, friend to his mom, and fan of GiggleSugar, MitchelWB is the whole package! I was unsure at first if "he" really was "just a small town girl," but the picture cleared it up. He's just bein' silly as usual.
GiggleSugar Interviews Margaret Cho!
When I think of Margaret Cho, I think of her hilarious standup act in flashes of representative scenes. There's Margaret telling everyone how weird it is to be an Asian American on an airplane with a flight attendant offering you Asian chicken salad. ("That is not the salad of my people!") There's Margaret imitating her mother's cute Korean accent and puzzling over gay men and their, uh, interest in "the ass."
