Coincidence or Design?

I was listening to some of the works of a hero of mine, the comedian George Carlin. At the same time, I was reading a post of Rosh's, where he was ripping someone a new one for stupidly parroting dumb bullshit over and over. I had to wonder for a moment if they know each other. Listen for yourselves and tell me what you think. It's the ont titled "Incomplete list of Impolite Words."

EDIT* Also check out "Some People Are Stupid", as it fits, too.

Does this not kind of bring to mind what Rosh might be like at age 80, if he's still here schooling noobs and morons?
 
You've got good intentions kid, I'll give you that, but ummm... what does this have to do with anything?
 
Nothing, really. I just happened to be listening to it, and reading some of Rosh's better ass-rippings- and drinking beer, of course- and thought that the similarities between the two were interesting enough to post. Ever notice how beer does that? But they really do sound similar.

Also, since then, when I read Roshambo's posts, I always hear them in my head in George Carlin's voice, LOL.
 
I've met him a number of times during his stand-up tours, and we've occasionally exchanged a few e-mails. I originally met him through a few mutual comedian friends, and that is how I know other great assholes like Denis Leary.

As for my debate style, a bit of debate class in high school, some in college, and a bit of mentoring on Usenet from some ex-Origin friends, like Loubet. Between him and Dr. Cat, any flame war was logic hammer'd/silly'd to death. So, here, I play the heavy with a bit of fun, while others often go for the silly quips. If it's going to waste time and bandwidth, I feel it should be pretty fucking entertaining otherwise.
 
Someone needs to do a 'Oblivion & Fallout' bit a la Carlin's classic 'Baseball & Football'

In Fallout you aim for critical hits to the groin.
In Oblivion you can decorate your house.
 
In Fallout, you can bang hookers, supermutants, and random NPC's.
In Oblivion, no one gets laid at all.

PS- Rosh, I fucking hate you now. I haven't even got to see Carlin live yet, and you're hanging out with him AND Denis Leary? You really ARE an asshole!

:D

And yeah, Carlin's like a national treasure, gotta see him live.
 
I'd love to, but he always hits Ohio when I'm flat broke. Man, my life sucks some times. Although, I recently did get to see another one of my favorite comedians live, Jeff Dunham. He's so damn funny, and he's about the only comedian out there that still does a ventriloquist act. You should check him out if you've never seen him.
 
Walter, Peanut, and the rest are among some of my favorite acts. Agreed, not like there's many good ventriloquists around lately.
 
Rosh, I've got a few questions for you:

1: Do you live anywhere near Ohio?
and
2: Do you like Budweiser?

Because I've got a twelve pack, and I just got my hands on all of Carlin's original vinyls, and have a working record player, LOL. Damn, am I glad my folks still had all of their vinyls from their hippie days. They had some Sheech and Ching, too, for when I feel up for stoner humor, too.
 
Nah, nowhere close, and only if American beer is the only thing available. I generally drink the Belgian Petrus beer, an acquired taste. :D To the unrefined of palate, it's suspiciously like Worcestershire sauce, or so I've been told.

*ding* respect++;

:lol:

if you ever make it over the big puddle, i'll take you to a bar where they serve hundreds of different kinds of belgian beer. :wink:
 
Yeah, Belgium makes some good beer, but I'm poor, so it's a rare thing that I can afford to spring for imports. Although, if you drink Budweiser german-style, like I do, it's not all that bad. Usually, I'd be drinking Samuel Adams Oktoberfest about now, but this years batch tastes like pumpkin beer- YECCH!!! :seriouslyno: Beer should not taste anything like fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese... anything but malted (preferably triple) barley and hopps. Save the fruity shit for the women drinking mixes with little fru-fru umbrellas in them. Burning River's Pale Ale isn't bad if you like lighter beer, and Great Lakes Brewery has a Dortmunder Gold thats tasty as well. Lately, I've been getting into a lot of local micro-brews, some of which are pretty damn good. And, if you like wine, some of the local wineries have some great whites. The soil around here is a bit off for truely good burgundies and reds.
