George Carlin and other oldsters

[Pablo]

He asked whether there was another word for "synonym".
Per "dictionary.com" there are many.

Synonyms: analogue, annotation, answer, characterization, clarification, clue, comment, commentary, cue, delimitation, delineation, demarcation, denotation, determination, diagnosis, drift, elucidation, exemplification, explanation, explication, exposition, expounding, fixing, formalization, gloss, individuation, interpretation, key, outlining, rationale, rendering, rendition, representation, settling, signification, solution, terminology, translation

I think this is important.

Wow! Is that old guy still alive?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Well, he's still posting. A bit rude question, though.

[Pablo]

How did this take such an ugly turn? Rough crowd here.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Then again, hoe often do you see three of the four oldest active GL members post in a row?

[Quailman]

[Pablo]

With all this wisdom amassed in one place, the younger crowd will probably be too intimidated to set foot in here. Me might hear from Chuck, however.

I've a strong urge to edit the title of this thread...

It's good to see that you folk are still alive, though.

[Quailman]

Hey, don't forget about ChienFou! And where's Arthur when you need him?

[Neo]

Ha! *posts in here*

[One Skunk Todd]

Is this the old people's thread?

[pikachamp]

*poisons thread with young naivitiy"

~Wacks Pika on the head with the ugly stick...

Oh sorry.. I thought this was the ugly people thread, but it's the old people thread.. easy mistake

[HyToFry]

I love George Carlin's writings. Brain Droppings is on my list of top ten books EVAR!

[Pablo]

And you're probably too young to remember his original characters, Al Sleet, the hippie weatherman, and Al Pouch, the hippie mailman.

As Al Sleet, he'd do these stoned weather forecasts on a fictitious TV station. They were hilarious.

Monday: "Hey, some of you may have been surprised a little by the weather this weekend, especially those of you who watched my show on Friday".

As Al Pouch, he'd reach into his mailbag and open people's mail and read it on the air, adding in his stoned hippie comments.

It was great, but he's maintained his edge for his entire career.

[HyToFry]

I don't remember that directly... though it does sound familier. The first thing that I can actively remember was "The Carlin Show" and that was very recent.

[ChienFou]

did someone mention my name?

[Vinny]

Oh hey CF, now the gang is complete!

Warm milk for everybody!

[MillerTime]

Yes, but what's another word for "thesaurus?"
(Credit to Steven Wright for that one)

Liquor so they'll sleep better, and Viagra so they won't roll out of the bed

[Logain]

Well, I at least fall below dirt on the above list

Those first three posts gave me a laugh. Is it time to repost IS's picture of Mike and his wife?

[Pablo]

Those pictures are a few years old. We've aged since then.

[Chuck]

I'm too busy posting in the early middle age thread to bother with this one.
