2008 Reading List - Napalm and Silly Putty
Book Thirty-six
Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin
In honor of Carlin's unfortunate passing from this world to the next, I thought that I would spend some time involved in personal reflection and active remembrance by perusing one of his humor encapsulation modules. it's full of brief comedic text-forms and small humorous thought units which will undoubtedly bring a day's diversion to anyone who... who...
Aw, fuck it. Read his goddamn book and laugh, you motherfuckers. He was a dirty, foul-mouthed son of a bitch, but he said what he thought and never gave a damn what other people thought of him. That cocksucker's all right in my book. He knew the true nature of humanity - we are such evil, vicious bastards that we would invent something as destructive and painful as napalm, but at the same time we can create something whose sole purpose is to bring whimsy into our lives - silly putty. Carlin knew that humans were impossible to categorize as "good" or "evil" and he let us know that as loudly as possible.
We're gonna miss you, ya grouchy prick.
