When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?

When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? | George Carlin

bailed

Like Shakespeare, Carlin is meant to heard not read.

It's like a transcript of his stand-up shows and I'm glad to have it on hand; but the words mean nothing without the man.

dabbe So true! Every intonation, every syllable mattered ... and he was such a word-lover! #logophile #carlinwouldhaveknowntheword 🤣 1y

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe such a maestro when it came to word arrangement and from jumping subject to subject seemingly randomly but always a thread to tie everything together. I mean I can hear his voice in my head, but without his facial expressions and body language . . . it's just flat. 1y

TieDyeDude I have one of his books on hand, but I don't know if I've ever read it the whole way through. One liners are good to read, but I agree a whole book doesn't work as well. 1y

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude Nope, a whole book doesn't work. But reading a few things was nostalgic fun--I miss his humor. 1y

mandarchy I read this while he was still alive and loved it. It's possible it hasn't aged well 1y

TheBookgeekFrau @mandarchy It just doesn't read well - it's better to watch him preform it; but I'm happy to have in print the reduction of the Ten Commandments down to two 🤣🤣 Good stuff 1y

7 covers you love for 7 days
I went to this book signing years ago when it first came out at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in NYC. Immediately after, I went to a bar to return something to a bartender friend. Some religious nutjob at the bar saw the book and said, "I read that book. Read Matthew 6:3. It'll keep you honest." I said, "It must not have worked for you. This book came out today." #7covers7days

I think the warning labels on alcoholic beverages are too bland. They should be more vivid. Here is one I would suggest: "Alcohol will turn you into the same asshole your father was.

I went to the book signing for this book at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in NYC. Afterward, I went to a bar to return something to a friend. A religious lunatic standing at the bar saw the title and must have been offended, because he said, "Read Matthew 6:3. It will keep you honest." I responded, "Really? Well maybe you need to reread that passage because this book literally came out today. By the way, lying is a sin." Then I walked away.

Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.

Day 20 of #augustphotochallenge is funny books. Here's a little stack of some that have amused me over the years...I've loaned out my copy of Shrill, or it would be here, too. 😃

JanuarieTimewalker13 I'm not sure if this is because I have 50 year old eyes and I'm stubborn and don't want to go to 2.00 reading glasses, but I always want to expand these pics, thinking I can, to read all the titles. Ok, 50+ year old eyes...lol if only we had Litsy 20 years ago!! 8y

Readingismyescape @JanuarieTimewalker13 I laughed when I saw your comment. I often wish I could expand the images too. Of course I have 40+ year old eyes, and use reading glasses too.... 8y

Godmotherx5 @JanuarieTimewalker13 I want to expand the photos, too. Funny how we form habits around our eyes. 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oh, good, I'm not alone!! I always cherished my eyesight and my legs, from my earliest memories, so now I can relate to people who have had glasses all their lives...not easy. Thankfully, I was about 45 when I needed the reading glasses. 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 *I've 8y

Laura317 Maybe the Litsy powers that be can add expanding photos to this app? @Litsy 8y

ImaginativeMom @JanuarieTimewalker13 @Readingismyescape @Godmotherx5 Yay! It's not just me! I'm constantly forgetting and trying to expand the photos, then wondering how others can possibly see the book titles in those stacks. 😂😂 8y

wen4blu Me too! I cheat by taking a screen shot of the picture, so I can open it in photos and zoom in. 8y

Lacythebookworm 😻😻😻 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Haha! See we are never truly alone in our reactions🤓 8y
