- Go to Stupid, Full of Shit or Nuts?
At times I've done stupid things. Usually when I'm trying to prove
I'm smart. I would love to sit down with George Carlin at a sidewalk cafe, sip coffee and listen to his observations of passing strangers.

Well, they do say that alcohol is pure calories lol. Anyways, I'm glad you made it out alive and hopefully you can take the money you saved by no longer needing the hair dye, and put it towards some spa visits!

Gypsy, thanks, but left tech support quite a while back, was malingering
under a headset getting hassle for 8 hours & spending my paycheques on hair dye to cover up the rapidly reproducing grey roots (worse than a Mogwai taking a bath).
Knew it was time to get out when one Friday after my shift I bought a bottle of Scotch on the way home one evening, funny though, 'cos I was one of the good ones. My worst regret is that the bloody stress didn't make me lose weight as well.

Offbeat...
I always liked him. I love it when he said anything can be made funny. To prove it he says, "Rape is funny. Don't believe me? Picture Porky Pig raping Daffy Duck!" Or something to that effect. Thank you for your steadfast support!

Swearing can be pretty crucial to the construction of some sentences
& multifunctional. I mean it's like getting 33% extra value for a word, you get a noun, adjective & verb all rolled in to one. It's all about economy.

Well Gypsy I think it's very funny and it is Carlin's way of talking..take it or leave it, but you have to admit he says some pretty funny shit...Remember Toledo Windowboxes? Oh I am an old hippie who loved to listen to him...The man can take nothing and make it funny....
As to the blogger below...I think you're on to something...that's why you're the Gypsy!

'Sex for Dummies' missed that for various ex's Christmas pressies,
stupid people, in my time on tech support, I've had people as me for manuals for keyboards, had a colleague on to a lady on the phone that opened a window exclaiming that 'yes, it is rather stuffy in here' when asked to open the TCP/IP window on an Internet set up call, & the classic 'can you see what I'm doing?' when guiding people on their computers.
As for me, well, I get out on the stupid side of bed some mornings, it's the side with the wall.

We all have our own ideas about what is funny. I don't mind cursing etc in the midst of his rants because no matter what he is a pretty brilliant guy and I find that funny. To tell you the truth, I find you a bit full of yourself. I'm never charmed to have someone new come in and spout about how funny they think themselves to be and then be quick to criticize others. I don't always curse in my posts but when I do, it's because I want to. Thank you for your visit.

The challenge is to write 'funny stuff' without resorting to...
vulgarity, then I think you're on to something. Just take Carlin's vulgar words out of the text (I'm sorry but any 'stupid', or 'nutty' person can resort to vulgarity) and the entire piece lies there like a dropped implant that's just been removed from a woman who had it implanted after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Now I write funny stuff WITHOUT resorting to v-------y!

Geez, I had my dart gun filled with birth control all stocked and ready to start shooting from a clock tower!

Let's take a moment and imagine a world without people who are stupid, full of shit, and just fucking nuts. Well, crime would disappear, so we wouldn't need police, lawyers, judges, or prisons. We wouldn't need the armed forces either. That would put a hell of a lot of people out of work. Take away the stupid, full of shit, and fucking nuts and the news media would instantly shrink to only a fraction of its original size. Now that I think about it, the television industry would suffer as well. Without the stupid people, those full of shit and fucking nuts, TV executives would be lucky if they could find a good fifteen minutes of programming. Think of all those TV people suddenly out of work. Not only the actors and producers, but the key grips and best boys. How in the world is a jobless best boy going to rejoin the workforce? Also, without the stupid people, those full of shit, and the fucking nuts, we wouldn't have a Blogit site. Take away those people and there would only be about four or five people left. Not exactly what one would call a "thriving online community." You see, we need the stupid people, the ones full of shit, and the fucking nuts. They're much to important to our society. They maintain the status quo. Life as we know it would cease without them. Plus, if they all disappeared, who would we laugh at?

Shooting soda out of your nose...
Hi Gypsy, enjoyed some of your remarks. My material might make you do the same thing, (shoot soda out of your nose) To be fair, fill your mouth up with Coke or Pepsi and I dare you hold it in while you read my piece on 'Hollywood and Plastic Surgery' of course listed under 'Humor', posted about 5 days ago.
PS Have some Windex handy in case you 'obliterate' the screen.
