  1. How have I not heard the "Bill Hicks faked his own death then came back as Alex Jones" conspiracy before?!

    I could imagine him doing the very early Jones stuff as a Andy Kaufman-esque 'whats real, whats performance art, and whats saying more about you that it says about me' type thing.

    However, there is no way the Bill Hicks I remember would do anything like what more recent Jones has done, regardless of his commitment to the bit.

  4. "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather." - Bill Hicks

  9. Bill Hicks -- A Killer Idea

    Hey, man.
    Killer idea.
    You guys like going to the movies?

    [scattered audience members]: Yeah.

    Do you-- you do? Three of you do?
    I love the fuckin' movies. Love 'em.
    Now, I'm watching Terminator 2. Did y'all see that movie?

    [Audience]: Yeah.
    Well, I'm watching and I'm thinkin' to myself, "You know what? There's no way they're ever gonna be able to top these stunts in a movie again. You cannot top this shit!"
    Unless...
    They start using terminally ill people as stuntmen in pictures.

    [nervous laughter from audience]

    Well, hear me out!
    'Cause I know to some of you, this may sound a little cruel...
    "Aw, Bill. Terminally ill stuntpeople? That's cruel!"
    You know what I think cruel is? Leaving your loved ones to die in some sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers.
    Fuck that!
    Put 'em in the movies!

    What? You want your grandmother dying like a little bird in a hospital room? Her translucent skin so thin you can see her last heartbeat work its way down her blue veins?
    Or do you want her to meet Chuck Norris?

    "Hey, how come you've dressed my grandmother up as a mugger?"
    "Shut up and get off the set. Action!"
    "Push her towards Chuck!"
    [a long silence, then the sound of a violent impact]
    [beat]
    "Wow, he kicked her head right off her body. Did you see that?
    Did you see my Grammy?
    She's out of her misery, you've seen the greatest film of all time!"

    [uncomfortable noises and laughter from audience]
    I'm still feeling some resistance to this, man, what's up?
    "Ohhh, ohhh," you and your fake fuckin' sympathy!
    Okay, how about these guys who are bein' executed?
    Don't do that. Poison. Electrocute. How cruel!
    And unimaginative!
    Put 'em in the movies!

    "Jeffrey Dahmer, for your crimes against humanity of which you have been found guilty... I sentence you... to Wes Craven's next picture!"
    "Aaaaah! Aaaaaaah!"

    Okay, not one of my more popular theories.
    But just do me a big favor. Don't ever say you love film as much as I.
    I think we've found your limit.

  14. @MelissaBearTrix wow, I would rate injectable #drugs far better than any #advertisement and I'm sure I would get a backing of support by a number of people who hate #marketing and #ads and would prefer an injectable #drug anyday.... Most drugs are injectable, even all those fun drugs that are prohibited by our backwards government...

  19. Today reminds me that years ago, not long before he died, I saw Bill Hicks perform stand up at Faneuil Hall in Boston. He brought up Martin Luther King Jr., and said "I have a dream. [Blam!] I HAVE A HEAD WOUND!"

  22. The Whores of Riyadh.

    I used to be a fan of a number of these acts, but no longer. I wish #BillHicks was still with us to rip into the lot of them.

  23. If #BillHicks were alive today, he could replace his #JimFixx routine with one about #CharlieKirk being killed by gun violence, while he was giving misleading hate-propaganda answers to questions about gun violence.

    And then #DenisLeary could steal it.
