  3. Although, if I may add, please note how much of his material is about language and conjugation. (7 Words you can't say and the stuff about parkway/driveway etc.)

  4. You've got a point. I'm sure your tear blinded your judgment.

    Or was Carlin a Bostonian? I know he was Irish, but if he was Bostonian, I suspect that you've bought into your New Yorker thing a little too much and you're just hating on the Massachusetts thing. Are you a hater?
