Lorre 196

Saw this card after an episode of the entertaining Big Bang Theory:

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #196

my soul's journey

To let go of the fear and anger which imprisons my heart,
To relinquish all childish expectations and live joyfully in the world as it is --
not as I wish or imagine it to be,
To be free of the always craven and ever-craving ego,
To be released from the endless hungers of the body,
To see God in others,
To see God in everything,
To die without death and merge my consciousness into the
cosmic sea of bliss from which I came,
To crank out two sitcoms a week that can compete
with a deaf chick dancing her ass off...
This is my soul's journey.

I wonder if he's referring to something on TV, or this vid:



If the latter, I'd have expected it to be a very popular one, since he uses the word "compete". But it has only had a few thousand views, not millions as some youtoobs have.

Here's a fun little story of censorship and what a vanity card is (I didn't know).
"Please know that my aim was only to provoke a bit of gaiety through the judicious use of a little thing I like to call “the truth.”"
Did he really expect CBS to look at that card as "a little gaiety"? It may have been truthful, but it clearly is an attack, not a little joke. I wonder if Lorre is aware of how combative he really is.

He DOES have a valid point about Catholic priests though :-(

(Puts on hard hat, ducks and awaits incoming ...... :-) )

Yeah, imagine if moonies or scientologists had been caught with that shit...

The Catholics covered it up a lot, but the Scientologists would just have you killed.

I know this is 15 years late, but just ran across this after watching this episode. I thought Lorre’s vanity card 196 in which he refers to ACADEMY AWARD WINNING actress Marlee Matlin as “…that dead chick dancing her ass off” was inappropriate. It actually made him sound like a whiny baby. He was referring to actress Marlee Matlin, who happens to be deaf. She was competing on Dancing With the Stars at the time. It reflects quite poorly on Lorre for many reasons. It’s a shame.
