Default Not that you care

Made a big decision today. Replaced my avatar of Rodney Dangerfield with George Carlin.

After eight years, it just feels right.

couldn't help myself...just a couple of one-liners from Mr. Carlin

"One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you."

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that"

OK, OK, Between the two, and I can't believe I'm saying this, Carlin is the more optimistic one!

A friend of mine once gave a great explanation of why Rodney Dangerfield's stand up worked- he said Dangerfield would just keep throwing out jokes, even if you weren't laughing; even if they were groaners, because eventually, one of them would get you; you would laugh, sometimes totally without intending to, and then you were his for the rest of the set.

Always watched him on Carson...he had a tv show only lasted one season...couldn't compare to his stand-up routines


One of my favs..
