How 'bout Klien's "I Can't Stop My Leg."

I Can't Stop My Leg

(harmonica)

I Can't Stop My Leg

(harmonica)

My leg stopped!.......

There it goes again!

[Jim Scott]

If George Carlin says it, it must be important, right? I mean, some over-the-hill nightclub comedian who curses and swears a lot in his act must really have something meaningful to tell us, right? Please.
Carlin is now a remember-me? Vegas act who tries to pose as a social commentator when all he really does is spout liberal gibberish and use dirty words. Someone should tell Carlin that getting old does not make one wise, knowledgable or more perceptive, just old and in his case, boring.

[SerpentDove]

I wonder if it would be illegal for someone to wish out loud that George Carlin would take his vile sickness to hell with him.

[boycott]

Carlin is just a stupid ignorant punk. Would it be wrong of me to get tickets to one of his shows and boo our loud like a NYC fireman or policeman when Hillary is speaking?

[Aedammair]

Laughing pretty hard right now, thanks!

I live in NY, and used to make calls on clients in the World Trade Center. On May 18th this year, I visited Two Financial Center on a job interview. That building is gone also, crushed by the North Tower. Two weeks ago I drove into downtown Manhattan and saw what the terrorists did to a part of my state. It made me sick and very angry. I have no problems sending nukes into the mouths of bin Laden's caves and let the caves implode on nuclear fall-out and their own biological poison. No one can hate these ba$tards more than a New Yorker. No amount of tv or photographs can depict or describe the reality of what happened....

[Poohbah]

Are you sure this isn't from Ted Nugent?

But if it is from Carlin, I guess he really IS a "Bad American."

:o)

[DoughtyOne]

After looking at Carlin's page with this tripe on it, I tried to look at his front page. After passing about five words that somehow lost their humor in my early twenties, I decided I didn't need to see his front page.

This guy is stuck in the mindset of a 14 year old. In the past I've found some of his stuff funny. Even his old 7 word schtick was funny decades ago. Now I simply shake my head and wonder about a guy that's this juvenile at his age.

[Reagan is King]

He stopped being funny a long time ago. Please retire you idiot.

[Rocko]

Ironic he refers to a "Iraqi terrorist," considering the way the FR anthrax threads have been leaning.

This from George the "Weatherman";

Floating around the Internet these days, posted and e-mailed back and forth, are a number of writings attributed to me, and I want people to know they're not mine. Don't blame me.

Some are essay-length, some are just short lists of one and two-line jokes, but if they're flyin' around the Internet, they're probably not mine. Occasionally, a couple of jokes on a long list might have come from me, but not often. And because most of this stuff is really lame, it's embarrassing to see my name on it.

And that's the problem. I want people to know that I take care with my writing, and try to keep my standards high. But most of this "humor" on the Internet is just plain stupid. I guess hard-core fans who follow my stuff closely would be able to spot the fake stuff, because the tone of voice is so different. But a casual fan has no way of knowing, and it bothers me that some people might believe I'd actually be capable of writing some of this stuff.

"PARADOX OF OUR TIME"

One of the more embarrassing items making the internet/e-mail rounds is a sappy load of shit called "The Paradox of Our Time." The main problem I have with it is that as true as some of the expressed sentiments may be, who really gives a sh!t? Certainly not me.

I figured out years ago that the human species is totally f-worded and has been for a long time. I also know that the sick, media-consumer culture in America continues to make this so-called problem worse. But the trick, folks, is not to give a(n) f-word. Like me. I really don't care. I stopped worrying about all this temporal bullsh!t a long time ago. It's meaningless. (See the preface of "Braindroppings.")

Another problem I have with "Paradox" is that the ideas are all expressed in a sort of pseudo-spiritual, New-Age-y, "Gee-whiz-can't-we-do-better-than-this" tone of voice. It's not only bad prose and poetry, it's weak philosophy. I hope I never sound like that.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE

Here's a rule of thumb, folks: Nothing you see on the Internet is mine unless it came from one of my albums, books, HBO shows, or appeared on my website. If you see something with my name on it, and you really need to find out if it's mine, post a question on my bulletin board . But only if it's really important to you; don't f-word around with me for a lark.

************************************************************

He really has some high standards doesn't he?

Here's a place to FREEP THE LOSER!

[Jorge]

George Carlin used to be funny.

Then he wasn't funny anymore but just vulgar, and disgusting.

Now he's become a meanspirited and embittered little old man.
He must be senile to write such a threat against a President with 90% approval rating.

[mercy]

I am not often moved to poetry but recently I am.I did not know when I began this that george needed it so badly. Ah .... providence.

I want to kill the enemy.

I want to rid my sacred land from the filthy vermin our elected controllers have brought here.

I want to smell the burnt dead flesh of my enemies and take a hearty meal with that incense.

I want to see my fellow countrymen who handle our mail once again free.

I want to dance on my enemy's grave and relieve myself upon him in the sight of his mourning family.

I want to set the thousands of victimized American families, now, and to come, free from their bondage of horror.

I want to cleanse the earth of Islam and its subhuman practitioners.

I want to bring peace ... lasting peace to my home and the land that I love.

I want to to make the enemy pay ... to the last farthing .... for everything.

I want my land reborn in the spirit of my Founding Fathers.

I want FREEDOM to ring with true meaning rather than thud with the empty hollow sound it has come to echo.

I want to go to heaven knowing that in my worthless selfish life .... at least at the end ....I did something worth doing.

I will never again be a normal man for I shall never outlive this war.

[Pharmboy]

Thanks for the post.

All I can say is George: GET OVER YOURSELF!

[snorkeler]

and Brit Hume...

[gogov]

Sad, very sad that someone that has made a very good living in the United States would now turn his back on his country all for the sake of a cheap political shot.

I believe it is appropriate to recite Churchill's excellent analysis of people like Carlin:

"If you aren't a liberal when you are twenty- you have no heart. If you aren't a conservative when you are forty- you have no brains."

In short, its acknowledged that younger people can be silly, melodramatic, excessively sappy, etc., and because they do not have the experience to control their emotions in a balanced and rational fashion, it can be expected they will be more inclined to be liberal in their younger years, or at least think they are liberals then, not knowing how silly that actually is at the time.

It's the people who never grown up really who remain liberals into later years. Churchill's assessment is quite right- those individuals simply have no brains to speak of. Carlin fits that description exactly.
