Fortune Tellers:: It’d be cool to find a real one. Ms. Cleo was in Vice City . . . .
Prostitution:: Legalize it, it’d help the economy. Vegas has the right idea. I’m also tired of serial killers targeting prostitutes.
Politics:: The concept is good, but corrupt, partisan assholes are ruining this country.
Country music:: I love it!

Britney's boobs:: Magnificence!
Gas prices in America:: I wannan electric car! I hate oil companies!


Well, I'll hopefully have the big one later on, but this'll do for now. What? What's that you say? Something about a Joke Corner? Oh my goodness, how could I dis-rememer? Here we are:

Rich's Joke Corner:

How can you tell a blonde has sent you a fax? There's a stamp on it!

Midway through the film, Cindy turned to her friend and said, "The guy next to me is masturbating."
"Well, tell him to stop."
"I can't," Cindy explained, "He's using my hand.

A car hit a ten year old boy and drove off. A man across the street saw this happen, ran to the boy and tried to comfort him. "Would you like me to get a priest?" the man asked.
The boy replied, "How can you think of sex at a time like this?"
(The car eventually sped off a cliff and the driver, sobering up, screamed in panic as he plummetted to his death. Out of blind, senseless fear, he slammed on the brakes while soaring through the air. Those aren't gonna help you much, buddy, why don't you try the emergency brake? Luckily, he survived the fall, but as he was climbing out of the wreckage, he was torn apart by wolves.) (I added this because the original had the driver getting away as far as the story went, and I hate hit and run and or drunk drivers. Also, it has a reference to Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey.)

Well, that be all for now. I'm off to study Bio.

2 Comments:

  • In responce to the favorite comics, I did put you down as my favorite comic: "Richard Joseph Sugrue," Sarah can back me up on that. Also, she put you down too despite the fact that she hasn't seen your standup (she just believes all the wonderful reviews I give it).

    So yes, your standup is loved by all... well, two. But all two of us.

  • I love your stand-up, Rich.

    I, myself, am pro-life. I dislike the stigma attached with the names however. I'm for women's choice and all, I just don't like the practice of killing babies. Why much I commit to one extreme? So I'm starting a new side to the conflict: Pro-Tao. Yeah, that's right. Get frustrated. I'm commited to non-commitance.

    Seriously, it's a complicated issue. The scale in which abortion occurs is sickening, although it is a personal choice. My moral dilemna comes in the fact that I do believe it is murder. Justifiable? Yes, in some cases. I believe that war and murder alike can be justified, but are always evil in essence. I am for it? Against it? I just think it's a tragedy, that's all. And as far was choice goes, I can make the choice to murder anyone at anytime. However, there are consequences. There are no legal consequenced to abortion at this time, but there are severe physical and psychological consequences that more people need to be educated about. My main beef is that abortion clinics are, in essence, businesses. They'll do all they can to convince a woman that she should take the road most traveled, because it makes things more lucrative.

    So, two misnomers: "Pro-life" implies that the "pro-choice" people support abortion and death, when in fact they're most often supporting a woman's right to make her poor decision (again, justifiable sometimes). "Pro-Choice" is slightly hypocritical, as is the argument "It's a woman's body." What about the body inside the woman? What choice does it have? What rights?

    Both sides are blind. People need to open up to the whole of the problem. It's very complicated, and the multi-faceted issues extend further, into the realm of living conditions for the non-aborted. Child abuse should be a much bigger concern than it is.

    To conclude this terribly off-topic, out of context banter, I would like to state the true nature of the pro-tao party:

    Pro-"Stop-getting-knocked-up-you-stupid-bitch" party.
    I think that says it all.


    Anyway, my apologies for that. I like to sneak in my random opinions where it isn't needed. Very rude of me, and I apologize. Excellent post, interesting survey, very imformative.

    Let's work on "Undying Love" next week. Savy?
