Oh crap. I was going to call the mechanic today, wasn't I?
Oh well, it's not like he could do anything until Tuesday morning anyway. I'll just call then. And not drive very far.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want someone to be influenced by MY style!
I would TOTALLY steal your hair.
Does that help?

The only comedians mentioned I have heard of are Leary and Bill Cosby.

I can't believe I don't know who Hedberg is. Was, I suppose, if he's dead.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Well, I did cite the Jim Fix joke up thread, which was apparently a straight-up theft
Yeah, but there's also the possibility of parallel evolution, so to speak. I mean...at least a couple of times in my past I've made cracks just hangin' with my friends at Denny's only to have some comedian spout it almost word for word a few months later on Comedy Central...and I *know* they didn't steal it from me.

Yeah, that happens. Something just hits the...is that what a "Zeitgeist" is? David Simon loves that word and it leaves me just sort of...wtf?Flea, rent "Bill Hicks, Sane Man." And not just cause Hecubus is making me feel guilty for stealing money from a dead guy out of Bostonian thrall. It really is quite brilliant.

I give it about a year. Then it'll be attack of the Allyson-a-clones.

I understand that. Certain jokes are just waiting to be plucked from the air out of the obvious, available materials. But to pair Keith Richards with Jim Fix is not one those kinds of jokes. That is a very specific kind of joke.

ita, have you been following this Joe Rogan v. Carlos Mencia kerfuffle?
The great thing about this is no matter which one crashes and burns because of it, the public wins!
I hadn't heard about Leary stealing Bill Hicks' act, but he's always been one friendship with Cam Neely away from being the Antichrist as far as I'm concerned regardless.
Woohoo! Just got word that my boss's boss has given everyone in the company a week's extra paid vacation to rest up after our current projects are done!

"OK, so he's evil, but you should see him naked. Really." And I love what Bill Hicks does, and he helped hundreds of comics and may well be a better citizen in all respects, but he never hit that particular button, okay? Although if Hicks had asked, I probably would. Funny guys are always foamy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am full of bbq brisket and corn pudding. DH forgot to bring home dessert--no Texas sheetcake. I may have to remedy this by making a Graeter's run later.
