You say "Redondo Beach" and I immediately think Patti Smith, Horses. "Tonsils" and "The Playground" were always two of my favorite Cosby sketches.

Since Curtis mentioned it...I went looking for a picture.

Daddy like that Hsu...

Yeah!

It would match my room well....especially since I use my sub as a pseudo end table. The added bonus for me is it is down firing. My older VTF-3 is front firing, and I worry about my 7 yr old's and 5 yr. olds knees going through the grill and into the driver.

That would look sweeeeeeeeet in your place Curtis. (Much like that monster SVS did!)

"BUCK, BUCK" and the whole "NOAH'S ARK" are great also.

"Buck, Buck"...that was the Revenge album, right? I've killed far too many brain cells. Was that the one with Fat Albert and a game kind of like Capture the Flag?

YES.. 'buck, buck' and '9th st bridge' are both on the 'revenge' album. probably two of my favorite stories from cosby. i got all of my dad's hand-me-down vinyl, so i have almost the whole cosby collection. they are still VERY funny, everytime i listen to them.. in fact, sometimes when we have parties, i play an album, and half the people are laughing their a$$ off, and the other half are trying to figure out who the comic is!! when i tell them its cosby, the general reaction is, "WOW, cosby did stand-up?" i just wanna slap 'em!!

The are hilarious. I can remember vividly listening to all of those old records growing up, and they were already 10 years old or more by the time I first heard them. I think I'm going to see if I can find some CD copies on the way home today.

cool.. let me know if you find any.. i am sure they will have the common ones like 'himself' and 'the best of' but you might have to special order the more 'rare' titles.. i think 'revenge', 'wonderfulness', 'to russell, my brother', and 'i started out as a child' are the ones to have for sure.. the original 'best of bill cosby' is just that, the best of.. its samples from his first 4-5 albums, and is definitely funny.. but stay away from the new '20th century master: millenium collection'.. it is supposed to be a greatest hits, but they chose the least funny skits to put on this cd.. not a good collection in my opinion.
