    "When I was a kid, it was 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,'" he recalls on his first album, Take a Joke America. "Now it's 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words may devastate my inner child forever.'" --- Carlos Mencia

        My friend gave me a Dane Cook album recently, and he is pretty good too.

          I loved the "200mph" bit. That was just freaking hilarious.

                I can see why you would like Murphy but not Izzard.
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                      Jerry Seinfeld does absolutely brilliant standup. I was a huge fan years before the TV show.

                      Rita Rudner is hilarious.

                      Richard Prior, natch.
                      And Rodney Dangerfield was amazing. give Rodney some love!!

                              The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
