just saw this on the cnn page - make the beast with two backs!
I loved George Carlin, he was the Bill Hicks who didn't die young...
Damn... he was one funny guy. RIP george.
Better than funny. Socially significant. RIP.
No way :(
RIP
I can't believe the " Hippy Dippy Weatherman " is gone :'( George was one of my favorites from way back. He was big when I was at University. Back in the days when we were about rebellion. Did it say how he died ?
I really loved him growing up....
Read on google that he was admitted to the hospital for chest pain. He had a history of heart problems..
Crap Crap Crap

"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!"
-George Carlin
RIP, ya old make the beast with two backs! [thumbsup]
[laugh]
Awesome
An arrangement of Carlin quotes on a timely subject:
At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.
George Carlin
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they're cramming for their final exam.

Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.
Damnit, I love him!! :'(
RIP George... If there ever was anyone who was completely unafraid of death, it was him.
:'(
See ya George. :(
Wherever you are George, keep 'em laughing. RIP.
RIP. :'(
I never got to see him in concert, but I was *very* lucky to just see him at a Q&A for ~100 people at the Paley Center just about a month ago. Absolutely amazed at how brilliant the man was, he read books on Astrophysics & Quantum Mechanics for fun. Cool dude who helped expose me to the socially conscious side of comedy & life. You will be missed!

He was brilliant in the role of the Cardinal of New York in the movie Dogma --
Jesus didn't come to earth to give us the willies! He was a booster!R.I.P
George Carlin was a voice of reason through the turbulent '60s....
I wonder if he wanted me to view him that way?
I'll miss him.
RIP George....give him hell if you ever meet.
:'(
As if you couldn't figure it out just being George, this is NSFW for language. Here's his take on how to rid the US of criminals.

I've never heard anyone that funny make that much sense
bye George, and Joe Blees you...
Watching George Live at Carnegie Hall (1982) right now. I remember watching it with my dad when I was 11. Sure brings back a lot of memories! It was the first time I ever heard a comedian talk with that kind of language. I probably didn't understand a quarter of the jokes back then! [cheeky]
RIP
