There is a third point of view on the gun control issue - those who I refer to as…The Victims….but they remain strangely silent.

It's all about money, not freedom. You think you're free? Try going somewhere without money.

There never was a war.

A war is where TWO armies are fighting.

Enjoy your Venezuela Distraction, folks.

The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.

And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun...for a while.

[ON L.A. WEATHER]

They say "Isn't it great, every day, hot and sunny?" What are you, a fucking lizard? Only reptiles feel that way about this kind of weather.

I'm a mammal, I can afford coats, scarves, cappuccino and rosy cheeked women.

Set up a silly little Bill Hicks quotes account on Twitter years ago before it was a hellhole. It became popular and long story short I ended up being invited to NYC for the premiere of the Bill Hicks movie and meeting his family who I am still in touch with and have met again since. Lovely people.

There is a current trend in the UK to put St George flags and Union Jacks on houses and bridges, I don’t agree with why this. To me being proud of where you come from is celebrating where your parents fucked! @billhicksrip.bsky.social @heisholt.bsky.social can you explain this in Huddersfield?? πŸ˜‚

Nobody ever died for a flag.

They died for freedom....the freedom also to burn the fucking flag, okay.

What a hard sell that must have been for John Major. "John? George Bush. Good. We've got disgruntled masses, gettin' really bored here.

How about a little fireworks? Well, let's look through the Rolodex! Noriega? Nah, got him. Oh here's one: Saddam Hussein! That'll look good.

I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don't know, and I feel it's my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?.......Non-smokers die every day
