Subject: Re: [TN] I'm gone again
This is the longest good-bye in the history of theatre....... you guys must
have all sorts of free time on your hands.
I had a moment or two as well and wanted to end Earl's time with us by
remembering those immortal words by Mr. George Carlin:
"I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you
something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say,
they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have
really.
We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we
assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word
for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same
words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them.
There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people
who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in
the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on
television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad.
They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All
of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were,
remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad
thoughts. Bad Intentions.
And words, you know the seven don't you? Sh*t, P*ss, F*ck, C*nt, C*cks*ck*r,
M*th*rf*ck*r, and T*ts, 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.
Sh*t, P*ss, F*ck, C*nt, C*cks*ck*r, M*th*rf*ck*r, and T*ts, wow. T*ts
doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding
word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, T*ts, come here. T*ts, meet Toots,
Toots, T*ts, T*ts, 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 T*ts.
The new Cheese T*ts, and Corn T*ts and Pizza T*ts, Sesame T*ts Onion T*ts,
Tater T*ts, 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
c*cks*ck*r and m*th*rf*ck*r. 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. C*cks*ck*r M*th*rf*ck*r C*cks*ck*r . It's like an assault, on you. So I
can dig that.
And we mentioned sh*t earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter
Anglo-Saxon words are P*ss and C*nt, which go together of course. But forget
about that. A little accidental humor there. P*ss and C*nt. The reason P*ss
and C*nt 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 F*ck and Sh*t, but P and C
are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you
F*ck*rs, I am going to tinkle now.'
And of course the word F*ck. The word F*ck, I don't really...well, this is
some more accidental humor, but I don't really want to get into that now.
Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the
word f*ck is an important word. It's the beginning of life, and, yet it's a
word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I
have said, I'd rather have my son watch a film with two people making love
than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I
know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a
step further. I would like to substitute the word f*ck, for the word kill in
all those movie cliches we grew up with. 'Okay Sheriff, we're gonna f*ck ya
now. But we're gonna f*ck ya slow.' So maybe next year I'll have a whole
f*ckin' rap on that word. I hope so.
Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on
television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever
ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and
Ed and Johnny, I mean it's just impossible, forget those seven, they're out.
But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember
the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? 'And the cock crowed three
times.''Hey, the cock the cock crowed three times. It's in the bible.' There
are some Two-way words, like it's okay for Kirk Goudy to say 'Roberto
Clemente has two balls on him.' But he can't say, 'I think he hurt his b*lls
on that play Tony, don't you? He's holding them. He must have hurt them by
God.' And the other two-way word that goes with that one is pr*ck. It's okay
if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't
finger your pr*ck. No, no."
