I remember the first time I saw Pryor. I was 12 and watching ‘Moving’ and I fell in love. I started picking up as much as I could find and made all my friends watch the stand-ups and films with me. When I was in the hospital having surgery there were no VCR’s in the room so one of my friends would come and visit me and do the entire ‘sunset strip’ show live and animated in my room to the point that there were nurses and other patients lining the halls to listen. Even through the shitty fucked up times, there are always reasons to laugh and that’s what I love most about his humor.

Best story though, I was in labor for 12 hours when I was having my daughter. The only thing I wanted with me was movies. I brought War of the Roses, Dogma, and of course Live on Sunset Strip, and also The Money Pit. I had a lot of Mormons (unfortunately that is what I was brought up in, and yes they are from mars) come and visit me and the look on there face when he turned into an infant with the playboy bunny was simply priceless… and what were they to do, deny the only request of a mother-to-be?!?

His tales are honest and told with a frankness that is easily understood. There is no shame or regret when he tells his story, though I’m sure there are something’s that aren't as pleasant. The message that I’ve always gotten is ‘Fuck It’. Whatever you do, do it well and fucking enjoy it. Life is way to short to sit idly by watching everyone else scutter by.

hubpluh,
Welcome to the club! It's good to see another fine ass lady swaying into the site.......But I have a question......When you were giving birth and the mormons were so embaressed that they took a holy shit....Did you give them the wrong finger?

sidewalkgod,
No, I didn't give 'em the wrong finger. Seriously though, where did I find you? Was there an asshole convention in town?

hubpluh,
An asshole convention in town? Hold on.....nope. Just a few dicks and I see a couple of midgets, but no assholes. Wait.....you were talking about me! Yeah, I came with the Asshole Fiesta. If you play your cards right I might even drill you like a Nascar tire....We all have dreams to aspire to and I just gave you one. Go ahead and blush...I don't blame you.

sidewalkgod,
Thanks for the word up on the midgets, isn't that the bus you came in on? I figure if anyone... they'd except you as one of thier own. I do have many many dreams, yet none so far have anything to do with your asshole. Maybe that is something to aspire to... do you have any references?

hubpluh,
I'm sorry... did I st... st... stutter?!?
