Video: Interview with Comedian Sarah Silverman

From Denny: This is an interview with comedian Sarah Silverman. What it gives you is an inside look of the person and how comedians can develop. Her comedy is often labeled as "demented." Granted, it is a bit; offensive to some as she adores skewering convention, political correctness (which ever side happens to be in power) and rebels against wanting to make nice and be sensitive to others. In other words, she goes for the shock value. Fortunately, her kind of shock value is more than crass or crude but forces people to think, well, about how they think toward the world - just how did they come to think like this? - that's basically her question to her audience. It's a good interview interspersed with her comedy clips.

"'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

Silly joke...

From comedian George Carlin: “One tequila, two tequila, three tequila… floor.”
