Thanks Shauk. I was wondering if he did any bits on death.

I suppose it's both a blessing and a curse for him that he's going to miss out on the upcoming election.

You mean to tell me that asshole isn't going to be doing anymore comedy specials? What a selfish prick!

George Carlin is the only story-teller/social-commentator I've witnessed that (IMO) may be comparable to someone like Mark Twain. I'm lucky to have seen him live and to have enjoyed his art for most of my life. Amazing.

Shit, he was here just a minute ago. At least we have a guy at work who looks and sounds like George Carlin with a dirty mouth and an off-color sense of humor.

and those that have never seen him perform, or those that enjoyed his performances...

get the opportunity to watch them

I have to clear up space on the Tivo for this...

Seven words:

May I please come with you, George?

"Swimming isn't a sport.
Swimming is a way to keep from drowning.
That's just common sense."

J.C. J.C...won't you smile at me...

well that's strange... just saw the article this morning. He deserves it.

He sure does. I thought it was so funny to read you say that then immediately read that article in my RSS.

Napalm and Sillyputty will be under my pillow tonight.

I cant believe these people!

Guess whos picketing George carlins funeral?

Are these people any more than the human equivalent of gnats?

I guess they didn't watch any of the HBO2 shows last night....

George once said:

In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can’t hold a candle to a clergyman. ‘Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story.
Holy Shit!

These people are the lowest fucking form of human... wait... I can't even use the term "human" when describing my thoughts of them. These fucking low life, scum sucking, waste of fucking space, vermin make me almost rethink my position on the death penalty... almost. The shit they're shoving down the throats of their own children is fucking criminal, IMO.

I'll bet George would love the fact they hate him, bet he'd consider it an honor.

Just thinking about them makes me need a shower.

"the obscene potty-mouth skeptic, agnostic, and profane atheist"


can one be an agnostic and an atheist at the same time?

and skepticism is sinful? I guess the next time I receive an unsolicited email from a Nigerian looking to quietly move a large sum of money, I should just believe it and do what they want...?


"We will picket George Carlin's funeral."

yeah, I notice they didn't have the balls to take on George while he was still alive. Cowards.

Okay that's comedy cold right there...

I still think Westboro is trying to goad people into bombing them so they can play the victim card. The problem, of course, is that the people who are so offended by the church are good, moral people who wouldn't do such a thing.

So they'll continue behaving like a delusional cult and people will continue to be frustrated when they read about Westboro in the news, and then forget all about them 5 minutes later. As it should be.

That's because George would gather more of a crowd than them.


And Tully, these people are human, just ignorant and intolerant beyond belief. Their lives are pathetic, and that is that. They will go forth from this life having accomplished nothing, but think they did everything. Ignore them when you can, and it all gets wiped away in time.

Well put.

I know you're right. They just make me fucking ill. I guess I let them make me ill, so some must be on me. I saw a news piece one night showing them teach their children to hate, since then I have trouble seeing them as even human.

You know, Carlin would probably have a hoot and a half if someone accidentally ran the lot of them over with a schoolbus full of Nuns. Just saying.

With extra bonus points if Bill Maher were driving.

With his film crew to catch footage for his new documentary. It would all have to either be an accident/act of God, though.


Lord works in mysterious ways...

Look, I know we didn't want him to die, but picketing his funeral isn't going to bring him back...

That man had some of the best material ever. He will be missed.
