Thank goodness Bud gets most of his stuff for free, as now the gang has enough cash to finally get to California. We’ll stroll into stately Bergstrom manner on Monday, as the foursome spends some time acclimating in the San Diego sun!
Today’s comic title is a bit of a stretch. “Happy Together” by the Turtles is a cute little pop song about a guy being happy in love with his girl. Yeah, yeah, sickening. But, at the end of the song, the lead singer sings “happy together” a few times then finally sings “how is the weather?” and it has always struck me funny. Since I’m nodding my hat to Carlin’s “Hippie-Dippie Weatherman” bit, that song popped into my head. I’m just that way.
Byron — those guys from the Turtles were stoners so this is a great title! Did you know they joined Frank Zappa after that?
Ya. The Phlorescent Leech and Eddie. Live at the Filmore West. Who could forget *that*?
The image conjured up by “You kick it to start” had me clutching me plums and wincing though. Not what FZ had in mind, I’m sure.
*phones the cops*
hullo? i’d like to report a stolen idea, please.
😀
awesome 🙂 great joke, man. 🙂
–dee!
Beats HMO’s! I wish all doctors were that cool.
By gawd/ess, I do miss Carlin. There is an American hero.
@dee –
Careful … reporting a crime by someone familiar with Carlin is dangerous. We have the secret to committing the ‘perfect murder,’ as passed down by George some decades ago. You pick one person up and kill another person with them; they both die and there is no murder weapon …
“Uh, gee Sarge. What happened here ..?”
“Dunno. Looks like a pedestrian accident to me.”
“They musta’ been moving at quite a clip …”
Hey, you missed a chance of drawing a nice cleavage there, man!
Heheheheh.
Have a good weekend.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO nurse!
Makes sense. Grass, like money, is green…
Carlin is awesome.
I am really fond of this doctor.
And goddammit where does Bud find all this stash?
I got to see Carlin perform live once, probably about 10 years ago. Some woman got offended at his routine — apparently she assumed that she’d be getting a live version of “Shining Time Station” or some such shit — and told him to watch his language (IIRC). The results were… predictable.
Seeing George Carlin go after a heckler is a thing of beauty. I’m glad I got to experience it first-hand.
