John Belushi, Bill Hicks and now George Carlin…..
I guess it is a part of me getting old; a part of the people they are and shit happens.
George Carlin passed away this weekend, another one of my heroes that has passed away. For you who are not aware, George Carlin is a renowned comedian from the 1970’s; introduced Saturday Night Live, appeared in 3 of the 4 last Kevin Smith movies (Dogma; Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and Jersey Girl
Cardinal Glick in Dogma; The blow-job hitch-hiker in Jay & Silent Bob and Ben Affleck’s Father in Jersey Girl.
He was a genius, a fucking genius. A(nother) great comedian that I will miss, the man who made America ban swearing before the water shed…
So in his honor (yes, I meant to miss the U), I have added below the 7 dirty words you can’t say on television sketch. I wish it was my work but it isn’t. Enjoy, I fucking well did, so I hope you fucking do,
“And words, you know the seven don’t you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war.
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn’t even belong on the list, you know. It’s such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. ‘Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.’ It sounds like a snack doesn’t it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don’t mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can’t eat just one. That’s true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list.
Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people’s feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list…like cocksucker and motherfucker. Those are…those are heavy-weight words. There’s a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They’re just busy words. There’s a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K’s. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. CocksuckerMotherfuckerCocksucker. It’s like an assault, on you. So I can dig that.
And we mentioned shit earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. Piss and Cunt. The reason Piss and Cunt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said ‘Those are the two I am not going to say. I don’t mind Fuck and Shit, but P and C are out. P and C are out.’ Which led to such stupid sentences as ‘OK, you fuckers, I am going to tinkle now.
If you want to see the rest then here it is, enjoy!! This was banned, and so it fucking, shitarse, bollocks should’ve been.

Dear Editor,
imagine my surprise last night when me and my family settled down to our cocoa and our now weekly ritual of reading the Ned’s World to the children as their bedtime story…..
How we have laughed in previous weeks at the exploits of our man out with the colonials finding new ways to do things and sumptuous ice creamic delights……
However, I do have to complain about today’s article…. which made me and the young uns choke on our hot chocolaty beverage - I can only think your man must have come down with beri beri … the language and shock of it all….. everyone knows it should be “OK you fuckers, I’m off for a slash”
I’m only pleased my mother doesn;t read such articles…..
disgusted of nearly Tunbridge Wells.
Wow Nedwards, congratulations - Charlie thinks I’m sweary and you’ve out-sworn all of Hackbash in one post.
I only hope that other members of our family or people I work with who know you, are not reading this. Cannot believe that my golden haired angel of yester years could know such awful words and to actually sully his fingers by typing them. I am glad you got that off your chest can we assume normal transmission will be resumed as soon as possible.
Really Mum, you know that I have a potty mouth, anyone that spends more than 5 minutes with me knows that.
And to quote Billy Connolly
“There is no such thing as bad language, just bad use of good language”
