Re: Important parenting tips from Monty Python:

It's not politics, it's ethics.

Just take the word "political" out of the above sentence and you've got it.

It's not ethics; it's satire. And, it's borderline funny.

Kevin

You're thinking of Dennis Miller. j4

Carlin was at least a good comparison- he has become quite political, philosophical, and unfunny late in his career.

But since you brought him up, did Dennis Miller ever have an act that wasn't based on political humor? Not that I recall.

Regardless of your wording, and politics, ethics etc, maybe he was not just trying to be funny!

Do you disagree with what he is saying?

I happen to think it is moderately amusing, and has something to say.

SNIP lots o' crap

I assume your son has not been recently involved in murdering innocent parishiners during choir practice that might heighten your concern regarding his after choir practice activities?

Dave Hall

SNL and MNF.

Kevin

"Parishiners"?

Kevin

Persons who distill the communion wine into brandy in the church basement?

Maybe not. But he may have felt that he was defending his choir from a much better-funded choir from 10,000 miles away. A choir that is intent on pushing the songs it wants sung and installing its own conductor for the "good" of his son's choir. But the son's choir doesn't want to sing those songs, and probably never will. Meanwhile, the conductor that really needed to be replaced is still in power just waiting for his choir to sing his songs.

Half-agree with you. I still find some of Carlin's routines funny. Yet I wonder if the root cause is we've *both* changed/aged? Gallagher's routines are wearing thin on me too these days.

Either it was a typo - he mean parishriners. Two Fez, two vespas, beautifully choreographed... Or maybe he meant two bottles of this:

Aha! Thanks. Cleared that right up! :>)

Kevin

Yes I am sure that the conductor freely selected by representatives of his choir members is in much more need of replacement than the conductor of the choir from the cult that gets them to sing better by throwing a few into a shredder every now and then ;)

Dave Hall

I thought it was a person who polished things like the Tour Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, etc. But I guess that would have two s's

What you get for coming in late. |-8

That may well depend upon whether you're an audience member, or a potential choir member! :>)
