at least for one night. st. louis blues vs. los angeles kings in september. i can't wait for it. kansas city has long showed it has interest in hockey. simply saying the kansas city scouts did not make it does not work with me. they were only here for 2 years. not near long enough time frame for a sports team. the kansas city blades have worked and every nhl exhibition in kansas city has had great attendance figures. there is no reason the nhl would not survive if given the chance.
The list is debatable of who the best is. It could take a great deal of discussion. Right now instead of watching the Royals most likely extend the streak to 10, I am watching HBO. They are replaying a 1982 comedy routine George Carlin did at Carnegie Hall. The man is a damn genius. I bet a great deal of his routine is ad-lib. He is the funniest stand up comedian I have seen in a long long time.
Right now Carlin is giving the audience a list of words that sound pretty clean, but just have way to many different meanings. Hilarious stuff. Pussyfoot, woodpecker, beernuts, cottonballs, cocktail, bangkok, peacock(a female peacock...a peacunt). The man is hilarious. However, dirty and perverted. But damn funny.
Here watch this skit found on youtube. This is the same 1982 skit done at Carnegie Hall I just watched on HBO. Its on Cats.
Some others that come to mind that I love watching their acts include; Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles ... Way to many good ones.
However I have to put Cosby and Carlin above most others, but they are both 1A and 1B in my book. Yes I am leaving off a ton of great comedians. These four are all just off the top of my mind.
So who is the funniest comedian in your book? What say you?
I was holding off on posting for a few days hoping to post something positive about the Royals and for awhile last night I thought Kansas City might pull off. However they lost in the 12th inning to the Twins. The streak is now at nine. Yuck! Come on Kansas City Royals show the fans that the Ownership and Management want to win. Give me something positive to write about our professional sports teams.
Tonite Zach Greinke (5-2, 2.82 ERA)is pitching, so I still hold off a lot of hope. He seems to be our only chance right now. Its been 10 days or so since Joakim Soria was signed to his big contract, and I do not think he has played very much. No reason to use him when we are losing as bad as the Royals have lately. He closes games out when we are winning. I do not see much of that lately!
Maybe we should try to get Soria in the starting rotation now?
