One reason I'm on Twitter a lot less, lately. As much as I enjoy the class clown aspect of 140 character jokes, I find it too much of a distraction and a self-promotion pukestorm.
Thanks for this, Patti. It inspired Julia and I to watch one of his standup shows on NetFlix last night, and it was a great end to a long day. I love Louis, especially the TV series.
Check out Paul F. Tompkins, among some others, for an avoidance of excessive (or any) "blue" language. Adult language in part because they are playing to adults, in part because such language can encourage some easy laughs.
My biggest problem with LCK is that he tends to be a bit cold around the heart, even with his obvious affection for his children.

Finding PG clips of C.K. is very difficult.
Hard to find PG clips of any comedian, isn't it? I wonder why it's such a big part of their performance.

I love Louis CK's commitment to telling the truth. Since George died, Louis CK is the bravest comic around.
