Just read about this before I logged on. This SUCKS. Ruined my week.

RIP to one of the funniest guys ever, on TV or on print.

His brilliance and insight will be sorely missed in the world of comedy.

Rat....bat....dirty little....sixty nine ....tied in a knot. Hooray, lizard....f.....

One of the first poems I ever committed to memory. RIP George.

See, I guess I am alone here. The one and only funny thing I ever heard him do was act as a sportscaster, said he was giving some partial scores, and said "Green Bay 10 ....." and that was it. That was funny.

But overall I just never thought he was all that clever.

Yeah, I thought about that too.

He always made me laugh, if sometimes uncomfortably. He will be missed.

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...


...and you finish off as an orgasm.”

he will be missed

The only thing more appalling than a religious person who claims to know exactly what's in the mind of God is one who dances on the grave of someone he thinks is going to hell. How Christlike.

I would hardly call that dancing on ones grave! Just a man putting his beliefs into a situation, much the same way Carlin did. That being said I found Carlin to be funny at times. His position on religion didn't bother so much as is extremely negative view of the world did. He was a master at his craft though. He knew every angle for a comedic situation.

Seven words you can't say at the Pearly Gates...

Thanks George.

My wife almost never says any of them, but even she can rattle off the Seven Words if you get a few drinks in her. I don't know that I'd call him a genius or a giant or anything, but he was about as brilliant and important as is possible for a man whose job is simply to stand in front of other people and make them laugh.

RIP - I used to listen to his record Occupation: Foole at low volumes so my folks wouldn't here the 7 words segment.

I like his "accurate" names for singles bars like the Crotchateria.

I was thinking of the 7 words (s, p, f, c, cs, mf, t) and realized that the show Deadwood used all these words; some with great regularity. I wonder if they intentionally put all 7 in the show?

In reality, only 5 of those are really off limits nowadays. I hear "p" all the time and "t" on a regular basis now on plenty of the edgier shows.

Pretty cool to have your passing announced to the world, and everyone remembers that you made them laugh.... good legacy.
