5. One more rec coming up!
I would never have been able to perfect my potty mouth, if weren't for this comedic genius.

6. Thank you!
When I was 12, I found some old "Gene Tracy 'Truck Stop'" tapes... 8 tracks. Then I found a stash of some Redd Foxx Triple XXX albums... My uncle, a Nam Vet, caught me listening to them one day... and introduced me to George Carlin *and* Frank Zappa.... I became an instant fan of both....

7. When I was a young agnostic teenager
living in an orphanage, run by the Presbyterian Churches of NC, I was 1st introduced to George Carlin by one of my sisters. Several of us gathered in a different sister's room, which was furtherest away from our house parent's quarters.

Somehow one of Becka's friends managed to sneak in a George Carlin album. It was the Seven Words. All Becka had told us, was that it was going to knock our socks off. Within two minutes, I was in pain. I looked around at my sisters and they were experiencing the same delightful pain. And yes, inbetween gasps of laugher, we did write the words down.

It was then that my potty mouth was born.

I've followed George Carlin ever since.

4. Not to be confused with Frisbeefacism
which is the dictatorial attitude some dogs exhibit when their frisbee comes into their line of sight. My Border Collie mix suffers from canine Frisbeefacism.

8. Not to be confused with Lonnie Frisbee, the 60's Hippie preacher...
