E! Erm,....
Nov. 21st, 2006 03:21 pmAfter many delays, I am finally rolling in multimedia glory:) My two Amazon CDs and my longlost Netflixes (Addams Family Values and Charly, the Oscar-winning adaptation of Flowers for Algernon) all came in today's mail.
Did I open the music disk and dig Barry's singing? Did I rip open the red packages and start watching Thing run about? Heck no.
I tormented my eyeballs for 25 minutes transcribing, at long last, the teeny tiny type containing Carlinisms on the back cover of FM and AM. The type was small on the back of the vinyl album; here, reduced to a frame around a 3 x 4½ picture of Carlin, the type was maybe- MAYBE- 4 point italic. My eyes haven't been able to handle that without help since the mid Clinton administration, and with no magnifying glasses to be found, the only help I could manage was from a high-intensity light blub. But it's done- the list of sayings, it be compiled:)
Far as Google knows, this has never been done before.
Some are archaic now, almost 40 years later. Some are offensive (most that are, were at the time).
But without further ado (not to mention Rose Kennedy's do), I present:
( Ralph Nader passes on the right....and other Carlinisms )
