From the New York Observer's review of the Friars' Club roast of Hugh
Hefner:
http://www.nyobserver.com/pages/story.asp?ID=4917

* * *

"A man—a talent agent is sitting in his office. A family walks in. A
man, woman, two kids, their little dog, and the talent agent goes,
'What kind of an act do you do?'"

At the father's signal, Mr. Gottfried said, the family disrobes en
masse. "The father starts fucking his wife," he said. "The wife starts
jerking off the son. The son starts going down on the sister. The
sister starts fingering the dog's asshole."

Mr. Gottfried's voice was growing stronger. "Then the son starts
blowing his father."

The Hilton's ballroom filled with the sounds of sudden exhalations.
The comedians on the dais were bug-eyed with laughter and recognition.
Some of the men had dropped to all fours.

Mr. Gottfried was beaming.

"Want me to start at the beginning?" he asked.

He kept going, turning the joke into an extended bacchanal of bodily
fluids, excrement, bestiality and sexual deviance. Mr. Gottfried
plumbed the darkest crevices he could find. He riffed and riffed until
people in the audience were coughing and sputtering and sucking in
great big gulps of air. Tears ran throughout the Hilton ballroom, as
if Mr. Gottfried had performed a collective tracheotomy on the
audience, delivering oxygen and laughter past the grief and ash that
had blocked their passageways.

Then he brought it home.

"The talent agent says, 'Well, that's an interesting act. What do you
call yourselves?'"

Mr. Gottfried threw up his hands. "And they go, 'The Aristocrats!'"

There was a sound in the room that went beyond laughter.

Mr. Gottfried had gone to "The Aristocrats," the comedy equivalent of
the B-flat below high C that Leontyne Price had sung at Carnegie Hall
on Sunday. "The Aristocrats" is one of the definitive inside jokes
among comedians. It is so definitive that comicPaul Provenza and
performance artist Penn Jillette are making a digital documentary
about the joke. "Every comic makes it their own," Mr. Provenza said.
"The set-up is the same and the punch line is the same," but the comic
puts his or her "own stamp" on the material in between.

Visited your site Ron... I have an aunt & uncle up in Lake Oswego.
I haven't been up that way in decades, but I love the PNW.

Not a *whole* lot of info on your site apart from how you made it, and
a blurb or two about your anniversary and daughter. To each his own I
guess.

Best to you and yours.

There are a great many factors that go into making a fantastic karaoke

Little Sister Songbook is a GIGANTIC tome with well over 10,000 songs

The Internet Arena is an Internet Service Provider in downtown
Portland, Oregon (across the street from the Multnomah Central
Library)

Complaints submitted to both Google and Internet Arena... the dial up
account you use? Or are you now forced to go post from the public
library? What happened to your @home cable connection?

Keep it up and see what happens, jerkoff.

And that's sad for those who legitimately use their AOL account
properly, to have to suffer for the actions of the few. If you others
on AOL like posting/reading here, I would highly reccommend you do
what you can to quell the assholes who share your ISP.

Haven't seen any Newsranger posts in here in a while have ya?

>That fella sure sounds like he's jealous of you.

Quite possibly. I hear the undertone in some of the posts too. I
think what people have a hard time with is that I *do* work from home
on my computer, so I have lots of access time at my disposal. This
shouldn't come as a surprise though, I posted that info when I
introduced myself to the group back in mid June.

It would be quite easy to be jealous if your own abundance of access
time to the computer stems from your gainful unemployment, and the
only thing you do for validation in this world is get up weekend after
weekend and suck at an open mic.

I like your posts CS.... post more.

I use AOL only for mail, and sometimes reading groups. There are an abundance
of s-f-brains all over the net, but most reside on AOL and 'web-tv'...lol

No I haven't but I've always wanted to go visit the Jersey shore.
Catch a few shows at the Stone Pony... walk along Asbury Park. I
guess I'm still a goober Springsteen fan huh?

I have a co-worker who lives out there, and he's been trying to get me
to visit as well. When you have a new baby in the house you do a lot
of "Someday..." talk. heh

A mere 3 hours from here. I don't think you'd want to bother with Asbury park
