Everyone change their avatar to George Carlin for the next 24 hours, given the man's contributions to Unutterable Silliness in his lifetime.:(

Zeep .... from what little I know of you ... you would have laughed yourself sick at his humor. He did this one routine ... it was all about "stuff." About getting stuff, and then needing stuff to go with your stuff, and then needing a place to put your stuff. I remember back when he was the "Hippy Dippy Weather Man" ... oh man ... soooooo funny!!! vivaldirules 06-23-2008, 09:12 PM Late one Saturday night in a dirty gas station garage, the mechanics have left an 8-track tape blaring in the bays with Carlin's "The Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV". The door's closed to the customer area where the guys have camped out briefly for Cokes and smokes. Okay, time to go back to work. Mechanic opens the door just as Carlin yells "...And then there's c***sucker!" All mechanics falling over in laughter. I usually have little patience for vulgarity but sometimes low humor is just the ticket.
