    I'm aging and the memory isn't what it once was but I do believe Robin Williams precedes Chris Rock.

    Williams had an entire golf routine.

      I have not seen it. I have seen 'Patch Adams'. To recover I watched a Czech surrealist film.

        Robin Williams was absolutely hilarious.... for about 10 minutes.

          Youtube has a live version (not the version I recall hearing). The relevant bit is at the 2:00 minute mark.

              I considered voting cricket, as any sport that can take multiple days to complete a match has to be boring, but I've never really watched it, so I went with my instinctive choice - the repetitive meandering that is soccer.

              What is shocking is that baseball hasn't drawn any votes.

                I found him funnier on alcohol than coke. His coke routines are too damn frantic.

                  Baseball can be fun to play.

                    Over the line is better because you can do it without needing 18 people and it doesnt require running. All about hitting.

                      I had to look up what that was. "500 up" was what we played.

                      It's kind of like miniputt is to golf however - not really the same thing.

                        And Bob Hope predates him. Bob Hope had several golf routines, as I recall.

                          There have been golf routines since the age when Scots hunted gophers.

                            I doubt Bob ever talked about a white man dressing like a black pimp.

                              Voted cricket, but should have voted tennis.

                              To paraphrase Mitch Hedberg:

                              "No matter how good you get at tennis, you'll never be better than a wall."

                              ACK!
                              Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                                The votes for golf are wrong, because golf is not a sport. It's a hobby.
