    Divorce is out of the question, at this point it is a winner take all proposition, who ever lives the longest gets it all.

    Never heard of him so watched a few skits, best show ever and greatest moments. Pretty much the same skits so could have stuck with just the best show one.

    He was funny, but wouldn't put him on the same level as Carlin, Murphy, Clay and the greats out there. I can appreciate a comedian that laughs at his own jokes first, even though they say it is a bad quality. To me it says, give it a second, you'll get it.

    All in all, I just miss the old days when you could be so offensive it sold tickets and brought Networks into a bidding war to host your next gig.

    Pansies today want everything sugar coated and all inclusive not knowing that laughing at yourself is half the achievement of a good comedy routine.

    You forgot to acknowledge Richard Prior. I am a up to 2000 stand up comedian historian. That would have been my dream job.

    Yeah Prior was a great one, was just a quick list. Hell, I remember as kid listening to Bill Cosby "Himself" on vinyl and laughing. Today it sounds awkward considering the events since, but back then it was just good humor.

    Sam Kinison is another, Dangerfield etc...

    Take me back in time, I could live happily ever after......

    Rice is good if you're hungry for 2000 of something.

    I am very, very angry over this Bezos flight today. My ethics are being severely tested. My mind just keeps drifting to the dark side and its getting very difficult stopping it....

    Can you even imagine a student in junior high doing it today? I think she knew I would take said punishment to hit home her point. She was right. To me it was a contract between us. She laid out the rules day one. Not an unreasonable request but stern consequences. You can bet I was the only gum chewer caught that year.
    P.S.
    I earned her respect that day

    I clicked the "play" icon on Bob's post, started bobbing my head and then scrolled down to Brett's gif; and Parker's chewing perfectly matched the beat of Sturgill. Now I will never be able to hear that song again without thinking of stupid Parker Posey. So Eff You both.

    Kidding aside, I have never understood Parker Posey. She's not a good actress. She's not ugly but not particularly hot. She has an annoying voice. She basically has one role- Resting Bitc4 Face.

    I bet her agent gets every single script that calls for "Resting Bitc4 Face". She has made a 30 year career out of looking like a bitc4.

    Not understanding. Guy builds better mouse traps, makes boat loads of $, takes risks, has $ to take an epic joy ride...

    Why would someone behavior create ethical problems for you to the point of anger?

    Besides should have had an arm come out of the capsule and deliver a package.

    Then sent back a pic of it on a porch.

    They delivered the booster and the boss back to earth, on schedule.

    IMHO - Bezos and Amazon (and even SpaceX) a great grad school case...so diverse of revenue, many problems overcome.

    Lest I be considered a Bezos fan oí... Like other C execs, I'm sure he may be demanding, perceived as an arrogant ____ and a pain to work with; I'm sure his ex has other thoughts. ..doesn't take away from his billions or successes.

    I'm feeling deja with you...
    Yes he has and is all those things...but I have a dislike toward him, is what it is. My anger is for my thought on what the flight out come could be and what I think of certain possible out comes. My personal ethics are not to wish PERSONAL harm when it could effect innocents. Not that wishes like that are good, but sorry is what it is.

    Don't get me wrong. Nobody (no sane body) relishes innocents harm.

    However everyone on earth's end, well, it's inevitable...

    leverages his wealth into coercing the narrative of a crippling "health crisis", forces lock downs, and crushes the last remaining mom and pop retail stores...
