captainsblogAfter 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
The Vietnam War is alive and well and living in Laos
An octoroon is an eight-sided cookie
It takes two dwarves to mail a letter
A car-raising contest is a jack-off
Hire the handicapped, but don’t let them take your rectal temperature
Nixon is soft on Fascism
The gross national product is gross
Elephantitis does not improve the memory
Mothers’ milk leads to heroin
If you break a crumb in half you have two crumbs
When stepping on the brake, your life is in your foot’s hands
The U.S. Plywood building is made of steel and stone
There are no two dandruff flakes alike
Beer nuts is the official disease of Milwaukee
Everyone over 110 is out of work
Rose Kennedy wears a natural
Give a Shriner a shiner
Recycle confetti
No two ways about it, there are two sides to every story
Edgar Cayce was not a medium- he was an extra large
The Vatican police speak Pig Latin
