Joan Rivers (Not Comic Book Related)

Standard

Part of childhood, I believe, includes being a fan of at least a few things that are not considered appropriate for children. Here’s a few of my favorite things as a kid that were not for kids:

1) Married With Children (TV)
2) The Cramps (music)
3) Ice Pirates (movie)
4) Digital Underground (music)
5) Joan Rivers (comedian)

Today I lost Joan Rivers.

I first discovered her through her daytime talk show and have been a Joan Ranger ever since (although there was no name for it then). She was smart, funny, and didn’t let people’s sensitivities get in the way of a good joke. The world will be a little less crude and a lot less funny now that she’s gone.

I’m really going to miss her.
