Who's Line is it Anyway?

[Butterfly Man]

Let it go ... my ass.


Here is the note I sent to Danny Hustle when he blew the whistle (amongst other things) on Gazzo when he sent me the books ... in it there are 3 street performers lines embedded ... I'll bet that stupid cunt can't name them.



Thanks for the books … it’s especially nice knowing they come from a dirt munching, tree hugging druid like yourself.

You cannot imagine how gratifying it was to read my own lines from my own book (title and everything). How flattering it was to have them attributed to that pudgy, poxy, pillow-biting Cellini clone, Gazzo. I certainly hope he rots in hell.

Reading his eulogy was almost cathartic, as I realized his inability to disguise his deep love and admiration for me beneath his transparent veneer of sarcasm, vitriol and polemics. Tell him I don't blame him for his adoration and deification of me. I, for one, can appreciate his sense of awe.

Here’s hoping the chump change he makes from all the crotch-rotting, balloon-twisting mall clowns that buy his book helps keep him out of prison awhile longer.

With all the love and respect you both deserve,

The Butterfly Man

Again Robert let it go
or it will just make you grow OLDER

I've got $50 on Robert, in the 6th round.

Now more & more of the people I hate are dead

In "Gazzo's" book ... the following line is listed in the Show Related section.

Do you know who I am? Not many people do. That's why I carry this. (Give them the finger)


No credit is given ...

No tag line is listed ...

Wouldn't (shouldn't) the author of such a book know the following?

#1) Who's Line is it ?

#2 What's the tag ?

.It's an American Expression.

I've seen it all. Now, if I could just remember what it looked like

[Butterfly Man]

Come on Gazzo ... cross that line!

On page 20 under the Kids that are playing up section (Gazzo is so good at categorizing):

Kinda makes you wish birth control was retrospective

Again, no attribution

Does anyone think that Gazzo (or whoever is posting in his name) actually knows the meaning of retrospective ... let alone how to misuse it in a sentence?

And, at least, get the line right ...

Kinda makes you wish birth control was retroactive.

You can't regret what you don't remember

[Butterfly Man]

A statute of limitations with no expiration

It's interesting that Gazzo inserts credits for lines seemingly ad hoc.

For example, in the Hat Lines section:

Children go ask your parents for 5 dollars. If they don't give you 5 dollars, it means they don't love you very much.

is attributed to (Gazzo, Butterfly & Chumley)

What the fuck is that?

Does that imply that me & Rev. Chumley were writing hat lines together in same room with Gazzo? Yeah, that could happen.

Or did we all three miraculously come up with the same line individually and decide to let Gazzo make a little extra by selling it because well, we just adore short pudgy thieves.

The line should read:

Kids go ask your parents for 5 dollars ... if they don't give it to you it means they don't really love you.

This thread is hilarious. Keep going, Robert.

Oh and can I make a request that you all just put the "What has little balls and hang's down?" line to bed? I've seen that used at least a dozen times in the last year and it's not even funny.

No idea where that line came from, but it needs to be retired.

[Peter Voice]

Is there really a book? What's it called and where can I steal one?

[gav]

Once Gazzo layed a barrage of very funny anti juggler jokes on me.
I can't remember them, so maybe Robert could write some here because I'm at that point in my career where I'd like to use some to take the piss out of myself.

Are there any in that book Robert ?

Yes Gav ,I know how you feel Robert has been at this point of his career for about 15 years now

What's the difference between Gazzo and a canoe?

After a stroke a canoe goes farther ...


In "your" book under Drunk Hecklers (besides all the already copyrighted material you reprinted without permission from Orben) is the line:


(To a woman) Lady you just put the C back in female.

the line, of course, is supposed to read


(To a woman) Lady you put the letter C back in the word female.

or, is an audience supposed to figure out an already obscure reference to the type of irreverent & profane terminology that you and the rest of your lowlife friends use on a daily basis.

P.S So, you can understand it without a functioning cerebellum:

You're a cunt

Hey Gazzo...

At first I was tempted to write you off as one of those guys who has heard and repeated so much shit in his life that you may honestly have forgotten where some of it came from. Still pretty douchebag of ya, but these things do happen, and honest mistakes can be atoned for.

But after your "the jap" comment, I can only assume that you are not only guilty of being a flat out fucking thief, but you are the sort of guy who resorts to ethnic slurs in lieu of anything genuinely witty to say. And really, anyone who would resort to that sure as SHIT doesn't have enough original, let alone GOOD, material to fill a book.

You, sir, (and I use that term loosely) ought to be mighty glad that I was never granted the superpower of my dreams; the ability to shoot syphilis from my fingertips.

Because I can assure you, I would REALLY fuck up your weekend, bro.

Cheerfully waiting to hear you've been anally raped in prison,

Steve

Attribution retribution

Gazzo ,

In “your” book (on page 7) you attribute several lines to Birdie McClaine, Gary Animal, Harry Paverotti and Charlie Barnette.


Three things:

First, spell the goddamn name of the artist properly … ‘Arry Pavarotti and Charlie Barnett … don’t you owe them at least that much … after all, you are making money off of their creative work.

Second, don’t fuckin’ change their line around and print it they way you use it after you stole it … shouldn’t you at least show the stupid bonehead that buys your worthless piece of shit book what the original line was in the 1st place?

And lastly, don’t repeat yourself … I repeat, don’t repeat yourself.

E.g.

In my show it’s not a black man, a white man, a red man or a yellow man. It’s not a color, it’s a human race. In my show it’s one color, one race. It’s us the human race, yeah, (wait for response) and the rest are German. (Charlie Barnette)

Sure, I can see Charlie saying “German” … that really would be better than “Puerto Ricans” … that would be waaaay funnier.


The line, of course, should read.


“In my show it’s not a black man, a white man, a red man or a yellow man. In my show it’s one color, one race ... the human race ... (pause) ... the rest are Puerto Ricans.” (Charlie Barnett)
