I know you're out there, and you're not sleeping, either... :hi:

I was in Australia recently, and it was fascinating to me to learn that the Australians also celebrate the resurrection of Jesus - by telling their children that a giant bunny rabbit left Easter eggs in the night. Now, I wonder why we're fucked up as a race?...Do y'all have different books of the Bible than I do? Are y'all Gideons?

[anti-everything]

1. I'm gonna catch a gideon

[derby378]

2. "Yes, I don't seem to have a Bible in my room..."

:evilgrin:

[anti-everything]

3. Not "whatcha readin'?,"

"whatcha readin' for?"

[pokerfan]

9. "Well, godammit, you stumped me."

"Why do I read? Well... hmmm... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a fucking waffle waitress."

:rofl:

You know, Bill Hicks isn't really gone. Not as long as Denis Leary is still around.

[anti-everything]

10. I'd have to say

Lewis Black, George Carlin, and Doug Stanhope, as well.

[pokerfan]

12. Yeah but the difference is

those guys didn't steal material from a dead man.

I loke Leary. I think the Asshole song is hysterical. I enjoyed The Ref and continue to enjoy Rescue Me. I admire what he does for firefighters.

But there isn't much doubt that not only did he steal Hicks' material, he stole his entire persona.

17. "Well, looks like we got ahselves a READah!"

19. Hicks, on Leary:

"I have a scoop for you. I stole his act. I camouflaged it with punchlines, and to really throw people off, I did it before he did."

:rofl:

4. Yo!

That man was brilliant.

6. I loved Bill's description of his psychedelic experience in Fredericksburg

The one where he took what Terrence McKenna would call a "heroic dose." I'll just stop here to tantalize those who haven't heard the bit yet.

5. Present!

"I've been on what I like to call my 'Flying Saucer tour' "

[derby378]

7. "The fuckin' UFOs are waiting in the fifth dimension! Let's GO!"

:rofl:

[opiate69]

8. "Maybe it's some kind of 'Clean up the Universe' pact..."

:spray:

16. There's a new party being born: the People Who Hate People Party...

"People who hate people, come together!"

"No!"

We're kinda having trouble getting off the boards...

"Are you gonna be there? Then I ain't fuckin' coming!"

"But you're our strongest member!"

"Fuck you!!"

"That's what I'm talking about, you asshole!"

"Fuck off!!"

It's so hard to get my people together...
