George Carlin: Outrageous comedian

George Carlin: Outrageous comedian

"'Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ....what a ride!'"

Cheeky Quote Day! 25 March 2009

Hey, it’s Wednesday and time for some amusing quotes here at The Social Poets!

Do you enjoy creating your own quotes? Sometimes they just pop out of your mouth, don’t they? Pets are a never ending source of amusement for us and one of my Hurricane Katrina cats is no exception.

Here’s one of my own quotes I came up last month one morning at breakfast with my husband while observing my warrior kitty Miss Black Pearl:

“You know your cat is getting old when she quits hunting in the back yard. Now she hunts at your dinner table.” - Denny Lyon

And in honor of Mother’s Day coming up in May: “Don't forget Mother's Day. Or as they call it in Beverly Hills: Dad's Third Wife Day.” - Jay Leno, comedian, TV host

And wondering if I can keep my General Audiences rating…

“Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.” - George Burns, American vaudeville and TV comedian

And one of the few things this comedian ever said that could be called General Audiences rating:

“Electricity is really just organized lightning.” - George Carlin, American comedian

Cheeky Quote Day! 18 March 2009

From Denny: If it's Wednesday, it's Cheeky Quote Day here at The Social Poets blog! Enjoy!

The folks over at flickr continue to amuse me so I thought you might enjoy some chuckles, giggles and pure silliness too! The cat in the sink is named Fatso by his owners, a sweet kitty who just loves to sleep in the bathroom sink.

I've known a few kitties like that in my lifetime as cats are always expanding and exploring their territories, sort of like humans, hmmm... When was the last time you humans slept in the bathtub? Probably not since your college days and pledging some club! Cheeky Quote Day is back again this Wednesday to keep you going through the work week, enjoy!

“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

- George Carlin, American comedian, actor and author, especially noted for his political and black humor and his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo subjects.

“Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.” - Drew Carey, American comedian, actor, and game show host.

“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”

- Jack Handey, an American humorist best known for his Deep Thoughts, a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts.

Many people have the false impression that Jack Handey is not an actual person, but a character created by Saturday Night Live or a pen name used by National Lampoon.

“If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.” - Earl Wilson, American athlete
