George Carlin's Rules for 2007

O_O He's weird... but I love his humor.
Thought this was interesting enought to post ^.^


New Rule:

Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com ! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days . . mowing my lawn.

New Rule:

Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?

New Rule:

Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.

New Rule:

If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule:

Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule:

There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule:

Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule:

The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.

New Rule:

I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

New Rule:

Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule:

Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule:

I don't need a bigger mega M&Ms If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.

New Rule:

If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule:

No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: and this one is long overdue:

No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule:

When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

New Rule:

If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying" Do you want fries with that?"

While i think the teachers involved are pretty stupid (i mean c'mon is it THAT hard to find a date?)... I really doubt the boy is mentally damaged... Considering if there really having sex, he's the one doing the pushing =p

Is it a double standard? Yes in a way... But it's a lot harder to show that a boy who is going at it, is a victim...

Depends on the age. If you've seen a lot of these cases recently with the female teachers getting in trouble for having sex with their students, the kids aren't lucky 17 year olds getting busy with their teachers, but rather kids as young as 11. I'm sorry but nothing will convince me that an 11 year old has the mental or emotional capacity to engage in sex, let alone consent to engage in sex.

I agree with the above, I had a friend in a comparable situation where she met a guy online and they hit it off and talked for months off of a dating site. She seriously thought she hit it big because he had everything she wanted and was good looking. They had talked on the phone almost nightly, she was 19 (almost 20) and she thought he had recently turned 18. Later on she found out he had lied to her because he really liked her and he was actually just recently 16. She was so torn up and weirded out because they had talked about even sexual things and she was scared of what would happen. In the end she realized she did care about him, maybe even loved him and because she did she would never want to take any part of his younger days away. She realized that although his persona he portrayed was probably him she had to realize that some of what was talking was his virginal hormones and she told him that she was sorry and he was a good person and he should be with girls his age and to send her message when he was older. It was extraordinarily hard for my friend and we were proud of her, regardless of the creepiness factor we all got.

^online can be a dangerous place in unexpected ways!

but I love the rules... funny =)

Uh, is it a double standard? Hell yeah, it most definitely is. If a man does this to a 15 year old girl, he's a pervert and both men and women get all shitty about it. If a woman does the same to a 15 year old boy, guys get all hot and it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal. It's a bullshit double standard. It's fucked up regardless of whether it's a man or a woman. /rant

Ugh, THANK YOU. When people ask me how old my daughter is, and I say "one and a half," they'll stare at me for a minute. And I'll say "what? She's one and a half." They'll then ask me how many MONTHS. To which I'll say "how the hell should I know?" As far as I'm concerned, once the baby reaches one year old, YOU CAN STOP COUNTING THEIR AGE IN MONTHS.

Absolutely! And then that "and a half" becomes very important to the kids LOL
