just saw the Comedy Central Roast of Denis Leary

Bill Hicks, when asked about Dennis Leary stealing his "angry smoking atheist" act: "Actually, I stole his act, and camoflagued it with punchlines so nobody would notice. And then, to really throw people off, I did it first."

Seriously, I think Leary's a pretty funny guy, but Bill Hicks was more than just a comedian. He was a fucking preacher. Check out some of his stuff, it'll blow you away.
