R.I.P George Carlin

I will miss George most of all. Much of my wise cracking is ripped right off of his records, HBO shows and his three books.

What a contribution he has made.

George Carlin could make me laugh until I cried...I was so saddened to hear the news that he had passed away. His comedic genius and trail-blazing humor will definitely be missed!

oh man, what sad news to start the day. He was a brilliant man whose comedy not only made one laugh . . . it made one think. He will be missed.

Amen Nick, Joe, and Robin. I saw him live one time in the 80's. From the moment he stepped on stage, he had me in tears with laughter. I always enjoyed his HBO specials and his books. If you ever listened to the interviews he gave, he was a real student of his craft in understanding why things were funny. Modern-day comedy has lost its king.

I will miss him, too. He could be very irreverent, he could be very touching. I enjoyed his quirky observations. Peace, George.

How sad! He was good man..

Some Georgeisms:

"Your stuff is stuff. Other people's stuff is junk.

If cockpit voice recorders are so indestructible, why don't they just build the airplane out of that stuff?

When you reach a certain age there comes a time when everyone you know is sick.

"It's neither here nor there." Well, folks, it's gotta be somewhere. I certainly don't have it.

Life is a near death experience.

Words we need:

pocketry--a garment's pockets

yesternight--"I couldn't get to sleep yesternight."

firmth--firmness

Why don't they have dessert at breakfast?"

How sad that he is gone...and how much fun he would have had reviling those who mourn his passing.
