Brain Droppings
No matter how you care to define it, I do not identify with the local group. Planet, species, race, nation, state, religion, party, union, club, association, neighborhood improvement committee; I have no interest in any of it. I love and treasure individuals as I meet them, I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to.Reread this via audio while doing mountains of laundry earlier. I read it in print a few years ago, but UNsurprisingly, the audio is better. I miss George
I was in my high school English class, when our instructor wanted us to choose a book to read, and afterwards, write the author with questions that came up during the reading. I chose "Brain Droppings" as I enjoyed George Carlin's stand-up routine and had seen him live before. The book was hilarious, as expected.After reading, I wrote Mr. Carlin with a series of questions that came up during the reading. I did not hear back from him during the school year, which was fine, according to our
Ever since I first discovered him, Ive been a big fan of George Carlin. I quite simply appreciate and thoroughly enjoy his brand of humour. This book, first published 23 years ago, has as much relevance today as it did then. And it is brilliant comedy.
"They say if you outlaw guns, only outlaws and criminals will have guns. Well, shit, those are precisely the people who need them."Note to myself: Never again read a collection of George Carlin's musing on the trolley, when commuting to work! The trolley was quite crowded, only one available seat which I took, my co-passengers cramped and then I started exploding with laughter. I did everything to contain myself: to no avail! Poor people around me were stiff with fear of this giggling maniac in
Someone finally agrees with me. Moths are creepy. Don't like their unnerving unpredictable flying patterns. Not that all that hanging about light bulbs helps.
I think that the late George Carlin was probably one of the funniest men who ever graced the entertainment industry. This book is typical Carlin.......irreverant, sometimes profane, clever as hell, and an inducer of belly laughs. It is made up of little vignettes and one liners which will make you pass milk through your nose if your are unlucky enough to be drinking it at the time you are reading. He could take a common situation and turn it into a psychedelic experience. We lost a great talent

With nearly 20 albums, two Grammys, two Cable ACE awards, and more HBO specials sunder his belt than anyone else, George Carlin is more popular than ever. Now, for the first time, Carlin has produced a book of original humor pieces, Brain Droppings. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiousities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny. Also included are two timeless bonus items from the past, "A Place for Your Stuff" and "Baseball-Football." Readers will get an inside look into Carlin's mind, and they won't be disappointed by what they find: I buy stamps by mail. It works OK until I run out of stamps. What year did Jesus Christ think it was? A tree: first you chop it down, then you chop it up. Have you ever noticed the lawyer is always smiling more than the client? I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed. If you ever have chicken at lunch and chicken at dinner, do you ever wonder if the two chickens knew each other?Mention Containing Books Brain Droppings

Recycled gold. In 2008 George Carlin faced something he rarely faced in his stand-up comedy career dying. Put simply Carlin was, to borrow Muhammad Alis phrase, the greatest of all time. No other stand-up comic was able to elicit laughs from audience across six decades or was as much a master of the full range of stand-up comedy types. Carlin did observational humor better than Seinfeld, shock humor better than the equally deceased Sam Kinison, ranting topical humor better than the nowNo matter how you care to define it, I do not identify with the local group.
