Yup, the old white robed reaper of the 70's and 80's claims another.
I remember when he thought his heart attack from his abuses was so
funny that he worked it into his act. When the second one came along,
it was a life style changer.

And so it is with a good friend of mine. He had a lot more fun than
he should have from the sixties until about the late 80s when he had
his kid. THAT changed his life on the spot.

But he can't undo what he did for so long. He has had a couple of
minor strokes, but luckily as of now they can control his problems
with pills.

He sure has a lot of funny stories, though.

How is security in your part of Baja?

Tourism in T/J has gone to hell in a hand basket.

Drug wars will do that.

I saw him about 7 years ago in Charlotte NC, and he did 10 minutes on
the topic of enemas, that made me laugh so hard for so long my stomach
hurt for days. He started with the thought about the guy who invented
them, and how he got his buddy to "test" the concept, and went on from
there.

I'll miss his viewpoint, I'll miss the man.....

That was one very creative and funny man. When he turned over rocks,
he'd see the funny ****. A true genius IMHO.
I went to see him every chance I had, and living between Detroit and
Toronto, that was often.
One show at Hamilton Place still stands out. He walked on, stood there
for a moment and said: "How the **** are you doing?" The house came
down! A standing O, and he hadn't started yet.
Sad that he's gone.
Sadder yet, is that he's remembered by 'The Seven Words' which was far
from his funniest moments.

TJ sucks, Lew..
It's pretty much like Brownsville, IMO, created by and for gringos looking for a
"good time"..
( dos pesos? She gets the pesos, you get the dose)
In most of the border towns, trouble is easy to find and if you're in the wrong
place, it will find you.. Especially if you look like a "rich" gringo...
For most people, other than service folks on weekend passes and kids on spring
break, you'd never be in one of those "wrong places"

I'm in San Felipe, about 120 miles south of the California border..
As far as living here, security is fine, though I'm not sure we need it..
We're in a huge development that has several gates off of the main highway, and
pretty good security folks on them 24/7..

We spend a lot of time in town, both working and playing, and I feel safer in
San felipe at night than I did in Fresno during the day..

Just as an example, every day in Fresno the police report in the local paper
listed several drive by's, robberies, car jackings, etc. a day..

Last week in San Felipe, 4 guys robbed the Baja version of a 7-11 and
yesterday's paper had the whole front page filled with the story and pictures of
the bad guys, police chief, etc.. It was big news..
I heard that there was a bank robbery in town, but that was years before we got
here..

The snow bird season is over here as the heat and humidity set in, but they've
been selling wristbands and stuff for months for the 4th of July weekend..
We usually get several hundred kids down for that, as well as Spring break..
Lots of tickets written for minor stuff that kids do anywhere but I've never
heard anything about a kidnapping, serious injury or anything like that..

Sorry for the long post.. Must have been that 3rd cup of coffee..

Come on down, it's wonderful here!

I remember when he thought his heart attack from his abuses was so
funny that he worked it into his act. When the second one came along,
it was a life style changer.

He worked #2 into his act anyway -- "I now lead Richard Pryor 2-1 in the
Comedians Heart Attack Sweepstakes. Of course, Richard leads me 1-0 in
Setting Yourself on Fire. See, what happened was, first Richard had a
heart attack. Then I had a heart attack. Then Richard set himself on
fire. And I said, f*ck that, I'm having another heart attack."

At the age of 20, in about the middle of an "altered state of
consciousness", while on a Munchies Run to the nearby 7-11, I
encountered a very old man I'd gotten to know playing frisbee. The fact
that a guy who'd survived, and apparently enjoyed, his100 years so far
(he carried an old expired drivers license to verify his age), played
frisbee with a bunch of college students made him a fixture in the
neighborhood.

Anyway, he was having trouble distinguishing between the buttermilk and
regular milk cartons (non-fat, low fat, reduced fat, 2% and "Vitamin D
Enriched" hadn't been invented yet - AND 7-11s carried buttermilk back
then). He asked me to pick out the buttermilk for him, which I did.

"Thanks. You're a good kid." - he said, then leaned in and said in a
conspiratorial voice - "I'm gonna tell you something you won't
understand at your age."

I waited for Words of Widsom, an significant insight from a man who no
doubt had seen and done a lot of things in a hundred years.

"Life is absurd you know?" he said looking me right in the eye - just a
hint of a smile on his face.

Given the perceived experiences of my past few hours I whispered in his
ear "I know." and smiled back at him.

He held me at arms length, hands on my shoulders, and studied my face
and looked in my eyes for what seemed like hours. Then he stepped back,
milk carton in hand, smiled again and said "You know, I think maybe you
do." and walked out of the store.

And soon after The Draft, and A JOB, and a wife, and a son, and a
parent's death, and . . ., the things of Adulthood shoved that little
bit of insight WAY to the back burner.

But Carlin somehow managed avoid
"When I was a child I played with toys, but then I became a man and I
put away my childish things."

He saw the absurdity in many of the things we do and allow to be done TO
us, and, with humor, reminded us of just how absurd (so clearly
unreasonable as to be laughable or ridiculous) life is.

Sounds like you are pretty well insulated from the rest of Mexico.

Just as an example, every day in Fresno the police report in the
local paper
listed several drive by's, robberies, car jackings, etc. a day..

Same kind of reports of local violence show up on TV news reports here
in L/A, but now they are starting to include the drug wars in Mexico
since there is a large Latino population in SoCal.

Travel warnings are being issued to leave before dark, travel in
groups, etc.

It's a shame these turf wars, fueled by US drug money, are having such
a harmful effect, but until Mexican gov't can get a handle on things,
Mexican tourism is going to continue to suffer.

Looks like you are in pretty good shape.

Stewart and Colbert totally lack that 'eye' for the funny.

Letterman and Leno have the odd good one...

My kind of comedian, is one that finds funny stuff where there isn't
any. Old Cosby was like that. Pryor in his prime. Steve Martin even
had 'it' for a little while. Steven Wright still does.
Some say funny things, some say things funny. Some encompass both.
Carlin said funny stuff in a funny way. A rare combo.
Richard Jeni had 'it' as well.
One guy who cracks me up is Gary Valentine. At least his stand-up
routine does. I haven't seen his TV show, so I can't comment on his
ability to carry a sit-com.
Totally un-funny people include Bob Hope, Joan Rivers , Phyllis
Diller, Whoopi Goldberg etc.

Carlin was hilarious in spite of his rude choice of words. He used
them like a fluorescent paint on a timid canvas. A form of
punctuation.

It is just starting to sink in that there will never be any more off-
the-wall observations about anything from him... ever again.

I put Robin Williams in that category, too. And Seinfeld. And I guess you

Klein once had it, but he may have lost it.

The funniest live performance I ever saw was Jeni.

What? No Jerry Lewis? Sometimes I think even Carrot Top is funnier than
him.

The bottom line is Carlin was as good as it gets. He'll be missed.

Today's comedians make their bones by making fun of people. When
certain comedians attack certain politicians, the war whoops start up
in the audience they go into overdrive.

As long as they attack someone up the food chain, like an unknown
comedienne attacking a stupid starlit for showing her box in public,
they are funny. You are not funny if you attack someone that is less
fortunate unless you are going for he "irreverant" or "no boundaries"
audience. Not nearly as successful.

Some of the people the make fun of might deserve it, but the comedians
that get the most mileage are the ones that cut the deepest against
different people or ethnic groups like Chris Rock, etc.

Most of today's are one note sambas, not the least bit clever, in turn
being not the least bit funny. They write only about certain subjects
in particular about their families, their drug problems, or
politicians and that is the depth of their writing skills. Many of
today's comics don't even write their own material. You KNEW when you
were listening to Carlin. Who else could be funny about "stuff"?

Carlin was different. He was a click off of living in our dimension,
and questioned everything in a sly way. He knocked me over with his
routine that started "do you ever wonder what your dog REALLY does
when you aren't there? Think about it... why is he always so happy...
what was he doing? How many times can he patrol the yard?"

It was his delivery.

His was an observational humor, perfected and imitated by almost
comediennes at least some time (if not all the time) in their career.
That guy pioneered dropping a line, and pausing just enough time for
us to catch up.

It is just starting to sink in that there will never be any more off-
the-wall observations about anything from him... ever again.

Never been a better, more clever presenter of simple human foibles or
idiosyncrasies and most likely never will be.

For my money, two (2) of the funniest guys working today are Larry,

Foxworthy cracks me up. Especially when he starts talking about his redneck

My wife's name is Rose.

And some of that "you might be a redneck if ---" stuff hits mighty close to
home, which just adds to the amusement:
* own more pairs of boots than sneakers - check
* know how to milk a goat - check
* wife can field-dress a deer - check
