Brain Droppings

Plot

The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, George Carlin shares all-new, cutting-edge opinion and observational humour in Brain Droppings. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny. Carlin unleashes his opinions on "People Who Should Be Phased Out" (guys with creases in their jeans, people who know a lot of prayers by heart) and "Seven Things I'm Tired Of" (geeks with Walkmans, clothing with writing on it, having to read cloud descriptions in a book). He even offers the never-before-revealed "Guide to Dining Out" (order unusual things: a chopped corn sandwich with diced peas and rye potato chips). Throughout BRAIN DROPPINGS, Carlin tells it like he sees it and asks some tough questions: - Why are there no recreational drugs taken in suppository form? - When JFK Jr. Gets into a New York taxi to go to the airport, does he say, ‘Take me to JFK’? And how does he feel about that? - Where does the dentist go when he leaves you alone? - If you mail a letter to the post office, who delivers it? From nonsense such as "Eventually there will come a time when everyone is in a band" to the ultimately profound "It is impossible to dry one hand," you'll get a look inside Carlin's mind, and you won't be disappointed. -The bigger they are, the worse they smell. -I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed. - Try explaining Hitler to a kid. - So far, the Ku Klux Klan has not produced any really great composers. Sprinkled through out Carlin’s humourous social commentary are many of his favourite . . . OXYMORONS: original copy, open secret REDUNDANCIES: outer rim, closed fist EUPHEMISM: body bags = remains pouches, police clubs = batons Carlin demolishes everyday values and yet leaves you laughing out loud. You’ll learn what he thinks of sports fans, how he would improve the TV networks, his suggestions for Legal Murder Once a Month, and his plan for World Peace Through Constant Dancing. Also include are two classic Carlin monologues – “A Place for My Stuff” and “Baseball and Football.” WARNING: BRAIN DROPPINGS is not for prudes or the faint of heart. So open to any page, take a deep breath, and be ready to laugh. (-book jacket)
