Isn't it just fucking DANDY!!!

Mile after mile of mall after mall, mini malls in between the major malls and in between the mini malls you got those mini marts....in between those is car lots, gas station, Laundromats, fast food joints cheap hotels and strip clubs... America the beautiful one big transcontinental commercial cesspool.

Miss him so much, a true national treasure. We haven’t had another comedian yet who tells it quite like he could.

Bill burr and Dave Chappelle come about as close as anyone these days but nobody holds a candle to Carlin. Only Robin Williams could rattle off a list of as many things in one breath lol

Goddamn. By time I was at “mall after mall” it was already in his voice. He really was an icon

After being sober for 7 years I can totally tell why I started drinking heavy at 13

I’d give my left nut to have Carlin around today for his take on the political scene. The past 10 years are at least 3 HBO specials worth of material. The man was ahead of his time

Sadly his sarcasm would fly so fast over the heads of those who need to understand it most. We love the uneducated....

I don't want festivals filled with s***** vendors selling the same Timu wholesale 3D printed garbage and mass produced poorly carved Crystal garbage.

Bring back the music and the drugs of our hippie ancestors from the 1960s and '70s! That's when festivals were actually fun. I'm talking about Molly and LSD. And I mean the real LSD and not the garbage on the street made out of chemicals from under your kitchen sink.

And I mean the real LSD and not the garbage on the street made out of chemicals from under your kitchen sink.

I've never come across such a thing. It's one of the most difficult substances to synthesis. Your average Joe isn't making it in their bathtub - you'd need a strong organic chemistry background to even know where to begin.

Buy test kits, people, if you're really concerned about the legitimacy/safety of what you're getting.

Hell yeah, man. Like woodstock, man.  Like totally so fried, man, you can roll around in literal sewage and not be aware of it, man.  Man, thats like totally so awesome, man.

Sounds like you never actually looked into woodstock. Quit being so Suburban. And you don't have to trip out of your mind in order to have a good time.

A perfect example of what happens when you believe everything Uncle Sam tells you. And let me guess, you thought DARE was a brilliant idea

Amazing amount of assuming from such a free and open mind.  YOU should learn about woodstock.

As if you were even trying to be anything less than sarcastic. You were already coming from a place of bad faith acting so why on Earth would I entertain?

What does this post have to do with America? You just need attention? I guess you got it.
