George Carlin on Euphemisms

Happy 30th Anniversary to the George Carlin album Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics which is based off his HBO special Doin' It Again. This bit on Euphemisms is one of the greatest things I've ever heard on comedy and a reason why Carlin was a genius.

 Can't believe I forgot to post this last week. November 5th is a huge anniversary in science as it's the 65th Anniversary of the day Doc Brown invented time travel. Back in 1985, he remembered it vividly. He was standing on the edge his toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, he slipped, hit his head on the edge of the sink. When he came to he had a revelation, a vision, a picture in his head of what makes time travel possible: The Flux Capacitor. It took him almost 30 years and his entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day. My god, has it been that long. Also in 1985, he realized a lot has changed over the years. He remembered when Twin Pines Mall was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Old man Peabody owned all of it and he had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.

Today is the 65th Anniversary of lightning striking the Hill Valley Clock Tower, the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Marty McFly going back to the future, Marty burning the sports almanac, and Doc getting sent back to 1885 when lightning hit the DeLorean. Amazing how so many things can happen in one day in one city.
