What a fantastic idea for Halloween.  The kids may think twice before knocking the door and asking for candy.

There’s nothing smoother than Johnny Hartman’s voice and John Coltrane’s sax.

It’s like listening to warm butter slide down glass.

George Carlin died yesterday of heart failure.  He was 71 years old, but had the mouth of a 18 year old sailor.

Famous for his 7 words you can’t say on TV.  Well, since I’m paying for bandwidth and hosting here, I can say anything I want.  So, this is for you George:

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.

There you have it.

Those seven words took Carlin to the Supreme Court in 1978.  According to Wikipedia, he lost in a 5-4 decision which allowed the government to censor him on the airwaves.

I hope he’s turning St Peter’s ears blue at the pearly gates right now.

I  was recently shown a really cool site called Wordle that takes any text and converts it into a word cloud, giving more frequently used words more prominence on the page.

This is where writing and art collide.  It’s both beautiful and interesting at the same time.
