[kj] OT: Stop this man

[Brendan]

I haven't read your link yet, don't need to, there's not much doubt in my
mind that Leary ripped that off, the whole voice-box joke etc...I used to
like Leary until I learned about Hicks, but I wouldn't touch him with a
barge pole now. Not that I've EVER come across a barge pole in my entire
life. But if I did, well, I can tell you boyo, one thing I would NOT do,
would be to use it to touch Denis Leary with.

I mean, if Denis Leary walked in here right now, and handed me a barge
pole, I'd spit right in his fucking third eye ;)

I've got loads of Hicks on my PC, it's eminently replayable. Now his brand
of misanthropy (or call it cynicism) I can get with...and his brand of
utopian vision as well. No real paradox there. You can be a zealot and a
cynic at the same time. That's my philosophy wrapped up in a nutshell. I
wouldn't be surprised if Hicks was a Robert Anton Wilson fan too.

It'd be a tough call, but if I had to chose my favourite comedian it'd be
Bill Hicks.
