R.I.P. George Carlin

Where to start... Me and Mrs. Tampa have seen Carlin 3 or 4 times live. He actually is the only comedienne I have ever seen live other than some no names at the local comedy club..

Pre 9-11 Carlin was VERY funny. Tasteless, yes. But in a funny "He's kinda right" kinda way. Post 9-11 not so much. Saw him 1 time about 6 months after 9-11 at the Oakdale in Wallingford, CT.
He paused a mostly hilarious set to try out some material for an upcoming HBO special. And true to Carlin Form he dived head first right into 9-11. BAD MOVE. The Material was classless and pissed off a good many of the people in attendance Myself included. Afterall Wallingford is a mere Hour outside of the city. Wrong Place Wrong Time.

He lost a fan in me and we never bothered seeing him live or even bothered watching the old man on HBO again.

One thing I will remember though, and this is much more special if you happen to know one, is the classic Tooooooooodd bit. This was just one of those things that was "Kinda Right" especially if you know a Tooooooooodd...



And let me be honest on this... And Carlin would be the first to point this out...
The Death Watch Continues, Another Celebrity Will Pass in the coming month due to a Heart Attack (Luckily I am no Celebrity) Russert, Carlin, .. Who's Next?

Well in True Johnny Tampa Form I have some Ideas and Some Odds....

Artie Lange (Howard Stern Show) 1-5
Michael Moore (Asshole) 10-1
John Madden 15-1
Rubben (American Idol) 5-1
Fidel Castro EVEN
Billy Graham EVEN

Don't Touch My Sauerkraut!

Only on Who's Line Is It anyways... Its always when a show gets canceled that you realize its actually comic gold... "It's.. Just.. Cabbage!"

How great was Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Wayne Brady? They were the greatest comedy team troupe ever. this show would have done real well up against SNL and Mad TV as neither is even close to being this funny. And if they did special guests (Like Robin Williams Below) and musical guests they could have easily done a Live 1 Hour or 1-1/2 Hour show that would be way funnier than anything on TV.

Yankees / Red Sox Who is better?? A Scentific View.

I am tired of the bull shit about "Yankees Suck" and "Red Sox Suck" and "Manny Being Manny" and Jerry Remy "Is The Best 2nd Baseman Ever" and "Dwight Evans Hall Of Fame rip off" and "Yankee Stadium Doesn't have a Yellow Pole Named After a Guy With Under 20 HRs (Johnny Pesky)"...

Enough..

So I decided to use some practicality in determining which franchise is better. And I am gonna dive deeper than shallow comments like "Socks is not spelled Sox" or "Bawston Sucks Cahck"..
I'm Digging Deeper! Using Complicated Mathmatical formula's like + (Plus) and =(Equals) and -(Minus)..

Sawks Fans fans pay attention.. I know ya confused and would ratha take ya cah and drive ta Fawl Rivah find a Packy and drink some bee-yeas withe ya pal Sully from Quincy.. Ya know tha Qincy Que-ah that was dating ya sistah.. This math is ratha easy enough fa even you ta fal-al. Grab a Sode-er and he-ah we go..

I am not "shoo-ah" "weah" this is going to go so lets try the "Ben Franklin Balance Sheet" to figure it out.

You probably know, Benjamin Franklin was one of the wisest and most respected men in history.Wouldn't you agree? Sure he was. He was an Inventor, Scholar, Revolutionary and a founding father.. He even flew kites in lighting storms. So not only was he Smart.. He was also Damn Tough. Like Chuck Norris Tough!

Whenever good old Ben was faced with a tough decision - much like the one we are deciding today today. He would take a plain piece of paper, draw a line down the middle and put a plus sign on one half, and a minus sign on the other.

He discovered that by listing all the positive elements on the plus side of the paper, and the negative things on the minus side, the answer would become obvious. That makes a lot of sense and I am sure that Yankee Fans and Sox Fans would agree..

So let's borrow Ben Franklin's method for just a moment. Since we are having a tough time deciding this.

Lets list the reasons the Yankees are Far Superior, then we'll list the reasons the Sox are far superior. Fair enough?
