11. Hi bleever.
Yes, he was true.

I got to see him live in Vegas twice, and it was great.

15. Hi, SG
I'd only seen him once, and I loved every minute of it. RIP, George.

39. I'm jealous.
I first heard one of his albums when I was 12, and my life was never the same after that.

I heard a great interview on Fresh Air where he said that he wasn't afraid of dying because everything that exists was, before the Big Bang, the inside of a star.

43. He was so great, wasn't he?
Someone over in GD, in a post about him, took offense to Carlin's views on religion.

I said, when you listen to Carlin, you'd best leave your sensitivities at the door, because George had something to offend everyone!

And that was one of the best things about him.

48. You know, for someone who didn't like religion, Carlin seemed to have a much better idea
of what, say, Jesus was about, than a lot of Christians. Like he said to Keith when he was on Countdown.

50. Yep, he did.
He recognized that most religions eventually get all messed up, because they are invented by flawed people.

But you know they must be his favorites, because he wears them ALL THE TIME when he's not on the air. Yecch. :scared:

Anyway, I have to forgive him because he's wearing one of my favorite suit combos again. I love the subtle striped black suit with the white shirt and pink tie... :loveya:

29. And when you go on vacation
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 07:14 PM by Patsy Stone
you need an even smaller version of your stuff. What if you go on a day trip while on vacation? Then you need to pack an even smaller mini sub-version of your stuff. Supply lines are getting longer and harder to maintain.

Why is it that your shit is stuff and other people's stuff is shit?

LOL

120. On the plus side, however,
According to Wiki:

"To facilitate genetic transfer between isolated individuals, barnacles have extraordinarily long penises, up to 15cm in length: the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom."

So, maybe being a small hermaphroditic crustacean isn't all that bad. :shrug:

I do not trust it. Nope. Na. Ga. Do.

I'm looking at maybe a Dell Inspiron 530. It was highly rated in the Computer World reviews.

129. I just bought a copy of XP from Target yesterday!
Sadly, Dell is no longer offering XP on its laptops, and will stop offing it on home PC's soon. So this way, I can order a lappy-toppy and load it w/the good stuff. :)

The Inspiron is one of the ones I was looking at. Which version do you have?

130. I have an 8600
which I bought from the Dell site a couple of years ago. It was refurbished, so it was tricked out (extra RAM, bigger hard drive, wireless, etc.) and the whole thing cost me just about $1100. But I'm sure you can find them for less now.

Happens everytime. I'm kind of deciding which sessions to go to based on who is on the panels rather than the subject matter. John Dean, Sam Seder and Cenk, Richard Clarke, Paul Krugman, Jeff Feldman and George Lakoff, A Siegel and Marcy Wheeler are some of them. I know 3:00 on Friday had a bunch of conflicts.

41. I wonder if he has his cape and costume on under his shirt
It's so rare for him to take his glasses off.

116. DU sadly showed its true colors this past weekend.
George Carlin is lucky they all worship him as much as they do. Otherwise they'd be playing the Six Degrees of Rightwing game with him too, trying to find some excuse to denigrate him and say they were happy he died.

125. He was charming.
After I cooled down, I wrote it off to alcohol poisoning. Thankfully, the Mods 86'd that whole sub-thread, which got much uglier later. That exchange was between people other than us, but I was thankful it was deleted regardless.

cozying up to the Alaska Pipeline for their coffee klatches.

Come on, Keith, haven't you ever heard of Caribou Coffee??

103. She is such a tool
And, meanwhile, so is Monica Crowley. She never says these ridiculous things on The McLaughlin Group. I think John would reach over and flick her on the forehead if she did.

118. Indeed, an excellent choice.
Steph was talking about him this morning and in a discussion with his agent they mentioned he thought she was funny. She asked if they would say that again, and if possible if she could get it recorded so she could hear it over and over.

Again, RIP, George. :loveya:

114. In retrospect, his timing on issuing that set was perfect.
Dan Patrick is probably watching this tonight and emailing Keith: "At least you could get him on your show. I couldn't."

Dan was on the radio today saying George was a big fan of his radio shows too, and would frequently contact him with advice and ideas. Dan kept trying to get him to call in, but he wouldn't do it. Said he didn't feel qualified to talk about sports.
