Let them snicker all they want!

I don't care! You know why?

Because we got the bombs, that's why!

Two words -- nuclear fucking weapons, OK? Russia, Cuba, Romania - they can have all the democracy they want. They can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of Tiananmen Square and it won't make a lick of difference, because we’ve got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen! And when we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times. That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.

I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes and Lee Marvin and Sam Peckinpah and a case of whisky and drive down to Texas…


Sorry...

Where were we?

*laughs*

nice use of Leary there.

It's been a long time since I have heard that one.:D

I was thinking Leary.

That's one of his better rants.

And the one about bongs.

I'd love to have seen him live at his stand-up height.


Though...I did get to see Bill Hicks live :)

One summer I got to see Bill Cosby, Dennis Miller (Rob Schneider pre stupid movie fame opened), and Dennis Leary live in a span of about 3 weeks. It was a lovely lovely time.

Fantastic!


Leary's No Cure for Cancer was just such an awesome show.

I lived on cheesy comedy growing up. I had the old Smothers Brothers and Bill Cosby shows on vinyl and would fall asleep listening to them nightly as a kid.

My favourite comedy listening when I was a kid were my dad's vinyls. Monty Python, The Goons, that bloke who did the Driving Instructor ( it'll come to me.)

The button down mind of Bob Newhart

I wasn't smart enough to really appreciate Monty Python on vinyl. Visually brilliant, but for some reason I needed the visual to make it all click.

Bob Newhart! Thanks 3ft.

God, I listened to his albums so much I knew all the routines by heart :P

I liked the vinyl because I had seen it and the vinyl just helped me remember the funny stuff. I had their three sided record and was quite confused for a while until I asked a friend about it...

The other reverse

The flashing red lights on top of the car you hit?

I don;' know what it was like in the States, but in the UK we had then, and have now a hell of a lot of radio comedy. It's a medium we get used to very young I think.
