Well I’ve just been totally bummed down this morning, my favorite standup comedian has died Sunday. Apparently George died from heart failure.
“On June 22, 2008, Carlin was admitted to St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California complaining of chest pain. He died later that day at 5:55 p.m. PDT of heart failure at the age of 71.”
I’m sad that I never got the chance to see him perform live. I could never get enough of his in your face honesty about the topics he talked about.
The ‘old fuck’ (as he so graciously referred to himself in the end) will be missed by many.
Been an interesting week or so with storms. Got floods in Iowa, earthquakes in Japan and China and thunderstorms like mad around my area.
Right now as I type getting yet another one, this will be the fourth or fifth storm so far this week alone. Supposed to get like two more tomorrow and wednesday. Two of the past ones caused a few hours altogether of power outages as well. The rain on saturday was insane, driveway became a river basically and you couldn’t see out a hundred feet before the mist and rain blocked your vision.. at only 5 pm in the afternoon.
Well here’s to hoping my power doesn’t go out for once. I really hate having to shut everything down, then back up. Life is crap without electricity anymore, not much you can do in the modern world.
I thought I’d do a quick little post with some of my favorite pictures of Figaro. Going to compare pictures from a couple years ago to now, to see how far he has come.
Here is the first photo, it is from 2003:
And now in 2008:
Well, not much has changed in five years with him in these two shots. He did manage to tilt his head the other way however.
Here is another, this time from 2004:
and again in 2008:
He somehow managed to slide into the corner through means that obviously took awhile. Also, he managed to flip over to evenly rest both sides of his body.
Throughout the years he has explored his nekkidness in various positions. It is assumed that he has not decided on a favorite position yet.
Awhile back I saw a standup routine by Ray Romano, and the particular standup show he did was ”Live At Carnegie Hall.” One part of the act he did a bit about taking showers, one point he brought up is why can’t we remember whether or not we washed our hair?
He went on about how even though it would of been a few moments earlier, he always forgets if he washed his hair. Can never remember, would go through the whole process step-by-step and come up with nothing.
Now I don’t know if this applies to women, but it seems a general consensus is that men have trouble remembering whether or not they already washed their hair in the shower; well at least I do. It’s so damn annoying.
I have to rub my hands through my hair and try to see if I can smell any traces of shampoo, but I’ll usually just give up and do it again if I’m unsure. Weird thing is, I never had this issue until I saw that particular bit of his standup. So damn you Ray Romano, damn you for brainwashing me into being unable to remember. I waste my shampoo because of you!
Once in awhile there is just something so awesome it must be discussed and distributed to the masses. I present to you, Pork and Beans by Weezer. If you go to the youtube page you can watch it in higher quality.
I’ve already watched this video at least ten times, went and got the song on iTunes and all that good stuff. I recognized a good portion of all those meme videos on youtube, but there are still a ton I don’t catch yet. So far I think there have been 24 actually recognized in it by various people. How many can you find?
Edit: Okay here is a pretty comprehensive list of everything in the video thanks to a comment post on digg.com. Most of the titles should link to the appropriate youtube videos.
