About 35 years ago when George Carlin used to appear on TV's Sonny and Cher Show and things like that, he used to pretend he was doing a TV news anchor man reporting on quirky items - the sort of thing SNL ripped off a few years later. Once he told this joke: "Scientists have discovered that saliva causes cancer - but fortunately only when taken in small amounts over a long period of time."

Articles
- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

Ask yourself..after age 21 and assuming an IQ in the 3 digits..would you rather have an orgasm...or a tear-eyed ..fall down belly laugh?
George was better than sex...ie how many people could make you laugh like that?..AND think.
Funny thing...but I got a feeling that I'm always going to remember where I was...when George died. Oh..and, I'm age 62.
