RIP George Carlin

Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat;
69 Assholes tied in a knot;
Hooray...
Lizard shit...
FUCK!

Some might find that the fact that that quote is the most important memory I have of Carlin growing up might be aghast. Others would find it delightful and very appropriate.

All I know is that in many ways George Carlin shaped my views on sex "what about Roller-Fucking? That's a sport!", freedom of speech (I think I don't even have to give an example here) and just the hilarity of the stupidity of people that you are surrounded with...he was an important part of my growing up - as a youngin'; as a college student; and as a 30-something neurotic divorcee trying to get her shit together down this weird road we call life.

George, I'm so fucking sorry about your passing; you will be missed terribly. Thank you for opening our eyes to the bullshit, for allowing us to laugh at the bullshit, and call infinite bullshit on the bullshit.

Yours was a ride that we will never forget. I hope you are smoking a big fat joint, your hair tide back in a short short ponytail, and giving your best impression of a really stupid redneck in such a way that God and Jesus will throw their heads back and howl with laughter.

Love you, man.

Ann Wedgeworth's Tony Award Acceptance Speech (a.k.a. Mommy)

Some of you may know that my Mom won the Tony Award in 1978 for Best Supporting Actress in Chapter Two. My pal Mike at work got a his hands on a copy and after giving me a dvd of it (recording it off a Betamax tape) he put it on YouTube.

It's so awesome. She's adorable. Check out her hair...lol
