George Carlin...

is great! IMO

Back in the day, he was quite popular, funny, and you saw him everywhere - movies, tv, shows on the road, etc.! He's apprarently making a come back, of sorts.

I am so excited, I get to go to one of his "concerts" tonight. (Why they bill this a concert, I have no idea!)

But, I haven't been out to have fun like this for quite a while, and I am pretty psyched about it.

This is a gift I gave my hubby for the holidays, and he's pretty excited too!

It should be a fun, albeit COLD evening. Iowa temps are nasty, highs in the low teens w/windchills in the negative teens. ICKY.

Have a great time, Kim. He was in Ft. Wayne last week and some people I work with went to see him. They said his act was great.

He does the voices in the video Thomas the Train. No mention of the seven words anywhere in the DVD

Enjoy the show.
Have fun being out with hubby

Wow, he's great. We had a few of his comedy 8 tracks (we are dating ourselves, I'm sure) and I used to love the one called AM/FM. He did the "hippie-dippy weatherman" and, as a sportscaster, used to deliver the "partial scores."

"And, now for you Superbowl fans, we have a partial score: Patriots 14....."

Have fun.

It was a really great show. The opening act, whomever he was, wasn't too bad either.

I had a really nice time. Now, time to get the baby's bottles ready for daycare and head to bed. (Boy oh boy, it's way past my bedtime!)

But, worth it!

I enjoyed Carlin's turn as Mr. Conductor in the Thomas series. Don't care much for his comedy since he's usually so crude.

Glad you had a good time, Kim!
