Ah yes, Charlie Sheen...

[280plus]

was actually not bad. The crowd loved him. He had Jeffrey Ross there which certainly helped liven things up. He seemd sober to me. Ranted like a lunatic for a while. Used the eff type word liberally throughout. As in, "*expletive deleted* HI! I'm *expletive deleted* Charlie *expletive deleted* Sheen mother *expletive deleted*! How the *expletive deleted* are you *expletive deleted* all doing?"

[grampster]

Ach, aye!

Oops, hit post instead of preview. FYI mods if you connect mother and *expletive deleted* as one word the language bot thingie misses it.  

He seemed pretty rational to me. Pissed off for sure and I believe that's where the ranting comes from. Probably good for him to get it out.  Anyhoo, so yea, without some kind of help on stage I can see him starting to suck and get old in about 30 minutes but with Ross there busting his balls for him it moves along a little better. He lost "Goddess Brie" to homesickness so we only got to see Goddess Natty (I think) for a few fleeting moments while she bounced around the stage in a little school girl outfit and threw T shirts into the crowd. Skinny teeny little thing. Then poof she was gone. Then he let 10 people get up on the stage to each ask a question, one guy was about 8' tall and Ross says to him, "Look at you, you must have an enormous ****!" The guy says, "Yes I do! See that size 16 shoe? And ladies, I'm available!" The women went wild.  

Then there was this dude from a local tattoo shop with all the piercings and the big in the lobe ear hoop thingies. They had a wide shot out on him at first but then the camera zoomed in right on his face where you could see all the wierd stuff this dude had going on and the whole crowd gasped almost simultaneously. That is one ugly dude to start with and none of all that creepy stuff was helping him a bit.

Some drunk old broad with big knockers got up there and started doing cartwheels on the stage. They kind of shooed her off. But then the last one was this obviously drunk chick who bared her breasts to 3500 people and asked Charlie to sign them. Understand, they had a camera on them the whole time being viewed on an enormous screen in the background so this girl's ta-tas were about as big as cars up there. The whole place went beserk. Setups? Possibly. The chick was definitely juiced though.

He got a standing O when he walked off. Not from me of course cause I'm too lazy for that stuff but the friggin people absolutely loved him.

About 20 minutes in some guy yells, "When's the show going to start?" The crowd starts booing whoever it was. Charlie says, "What show? I didn't advertise anything about a show. You people are all here just to see ME!" Again, roars from the crowd.

All in all I'd call it a cross between Springer and an Evangelical revival service. I sure as hell wouldn't have paid the $110 for the nosebleed seats I had but for free, I'd call it a hoot. It wasn't a sellout but the place was pretty full.

Oh, for the faint of heart or tender ear who might consider checking this one ring circus out, absolutely filthy language from one end to the other.

Just sayin'

I suspect no one with delicate sensibilities would mistake a show by/about by Charlie "Paysforawhorewithacheck" Sheen for family-friendly stuff.

I saw at least one early teen looking person there. I recall seeing Tull at the casino. Kids everywhere in the crowd. You should have seen all the mommies jumping to cover little ears when Ian dropped any one of several "f-bombs" I'm like, you bring your kid to a Tull concert and cringe when theres a bit o' cussing? Noobs...

You might be surprised.  The folks behind me at a Lewis Black show had apparently only ever seen his small bits on Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

Sugar Ray came to my college for a concert in spring of 99 and I remember a lot of townies with their 5-10-yo children being quite offended and running out with hands over little ears when it wasn't all this and more of "Hey there!  How the *expletive deleted*ck are you?  Wow! Where the *expletive deleted*ck are we?  I remember driving through about 100 *expletive deleted*ing fields of cows last night on the bus but where the *expletive deleted*ck did we wind up at?"

Ahhh... shades of grandparents suckered into taking their grandkids to see South Park, The Movie.  Hey, it's a cartoon so it has to be kid-friendly, right?

Hah! Suckered Grandpa into taking me to see Sha Na Na when I was about 14-15. Trouble was, he liked it.

If you're paying serious $$$ to take in a live show, you can take the time to google the act.

FTR, my maternal grandma took me to see one of the Eddie Murphy stand-up routine movies when I was a kid.  She was the sort of woman sailors were in awe of, language and alcohol-consumption-wise.

She also taught me to play Euchre and is forgiven her indiscretions for that one salutary act, in my book.

I was in a Blockbuster in F'burg a number of years ago, just after 'South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut' hit the shelves.  I was browsing the new releases, looking for something to watch, and I happened to overhear this woman talking to the attendant, trying to find something for her kids, "... and I see that this... 'South Park' is a cartoon, right?"  I snorted softly to myself, expecting the attendant to correct her misconception.  And the kid didn't.  Say.  A *WORD*.    "Well, maybe I'll get this, then..."  At that point, I felt obligated to speak up - "Um, ma'am - take a look at the rating.  That's NOT a kid's movie."  She looked briefly startled at the notion of an R-rated cartoon, said thanks, and kept looking for kiddie fare.

Heh, like my 10 yo nephew had all kinds of SP taped and was watching it at my house when he was here with mom and dad. I said to them, "Have you ever watched SP?" they're like, "Noooo..." I said, "I think you better." He soon lost his SP tape. I was in the *expletive deleted* with him for quite a while after that. I may still be.

This is why we went without a TV for years and now that we have one, it is hooked up to a PC I can lock the kids out of.

Dad and I were both southpark fans when I was fourteen.

Of course my parents never really bothered to censor what I read, watched or listined too.

I saw a lot of swearword laded action flicks in theaters from the age eight on, my first albulm was Dookie by Green Day (i was ten) and when they started putting the parent advisery stickers on albums, I just got my dad to buy it.

Furthermore, it wasn't that my parents (especially my dad) were ignorent of what I was seeing, its just they didn't much care, since they raises me smart enough to know when such language is appropriete and when it wasn't and that fiction is fiction, thus you don't emulate it.

My Mom even defended me a few times when I would cuss out or talk back to obnoxious and stupid adults dumb enough to get on my bad side. (only when I had it right, but I had it right more often then not)
