Fah! Everything since Finley Peter Dunne has sucked. It’s Mr Dooley or nothing as far as I’m concerned.

Are they written in that old-timey script that looks like it’s a register of people coming through Ellis Island, so that nobody under the age of 120 can read it?

Finally! A source of social commentary that makes the National Lampoon look timely.

I bet his take on the Six-Day War is a real hoot.

He made me laugh at things I should never have believed in the first place, and I cannot thank him enough.

_Au contraire, mon frere_. At the absolute least, it means that it has not been successfully marketed at him.

At this point I’m half convinced we can take **Fan** out of the OP’s username.

God bless all of you because I felt like an idiot reading the OP and having no idea who any of those people are. And I’m not a kid (I’m in my 40s) and consider myself reasonably informed about things. I’m glad these are obscure references and not something I should know about.

I get those references, I’m a Kovacs fan and I’ve watched “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis”, and I at least know who Phil Silvers was (Sergeant Bilko!).

I don’t know who Mort Sahl is either, but I also haven’t seen the OP bring him up except in a thread he specifically made about him, or when people ask him who he is.

And boomers using “okay boomer” is precious. This is a boomer board, guys.

He mentioned him in the OP of **this** thread.

> And Jimmy Dore isn’t that funny, and he repeats a lot of things said by Bill Hicks, George Carlin, and Mort Sahl, using today’s issues (and sometimes verbatim). Mort Sahl is the only one who has “kept it real” for 93 years. That’s a hero. Most people don’t know about his life, but he has his integrity, and outlived all those fascist bastards.

I’ve never heard of Jimmy Dore, but …

:eek: I thought Mort Sahl was before my time and long gone. (Perhaps I conflated him with Lenny Bruce.) Now I learn he’s _after_ my time! :eek:

I have a new search term to type in next time I’m at YouTube.
