Consisting of the Blue Collar Tour and Blue Collar TV, the Blue Collar Comedy is highly entertaining comedy created by a group of brilliant comedians.
The Blue Collar Comedy Tour 1, 2 and 3 are the most precious, with comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White.
Blue Collar 4: The Next Generation is hosted by Bill Engvall, but the 4 younger comedians hardly got the crowd going.
Blue Collar TV was filmed after the Comedy Tour and has only 3 of the top comedians, though Ron White does appear in 2 or 3 episodes. Ron decided not to participate because, and I quote, "he had a lot of quit in him".

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
