Publisher's Note
The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, George Carlin shares all-new, cutting-edge opinion and observational humor in Brain Droppings. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny. Carlin unleashes his opinions on "People Who Should Be Phased Out" (guys with creases in their jeans, people who know a lot of prayers by heart) and "Seven Things I'm Tired Of" (geeks with Walkmans, clothing with writing on it, having to read cloud descriptions in a book). He even offers the never-before-revealed "Guide to Dining Out" (order unusual things: a chopped corn sandwich with diced peas and rye potato chips). From nonsense such as "Eventually there will come a time when everyone is in a band" to the ultimately profound "It is impossible to dry one hand", you'll get a look inside Carlin's mind, and you won't be disappointed. Carlin demolishes everyday values and yet leaves you laughing out loud. You'll learn what he thinks of sports fans, how he would improve the TV networks, his suggestions for Legal Murder Once a Month, and his plan for World Peace Through Constant Dancing. Also included are two classic Carlin monologues - "A Place for My Stuff" and "Baseball and Football".

With nearly 20 albums, two Grammys, two Cable ACE awards, and more HBO specials than anyone else, George Carlin is more popular than ever. Now, for the first time, Carlin has produced a book of original humor pieces. "Brain Droppings" is filled with Carlin's musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, including his popular oxymorons (i.e. "original copy"; "uninvited guest").

Industry Reviews
"Avoiding the tired formulas of TV comics-turned-authors, pioneer stand-up comedian George Carlin writes an inventively outrageous book that is as intelligent as it is hilarious. His three sources for material--the English language, the 'little world: driving, food, pets' and the 'big world: war, politics, race'--provide plenty of grist for his sardonic, outlandish wit."
San Francisco Book Review - Pat Walsh (05/18/1997)
