George Carlin R.I.P.

mr.Curmudgeon:
"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 go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little boy(girl), you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!!" - George Carlin

Here's to wishing he was right...   :cheers:

I was just going to post about this.  Also one of my all time favorites.  I had no idea he had heart problems.  This truly saddens me.

--- End quote ---

One of his best stand up routines is about how he and Richard Pryor had a heart attack contest.  When Richard decided to burn himself up instead, George Carlin said, "---fudgesicle--- that I'm having another heart attack"

You missed some of his best stuff if you didn't listen to that album.

I never heard that one. That's awesome.

He truly was a comedic genious since he rarely ever forgot what he was going to talk about and had it all planned out like a great speech. I especially liked when he made lists of things that are similar and said them all back to back without one slight hitch.  :applaud:

At least he passed away the right way. Unlike many other comedians who went way before their time from overdoses and alcohol.

Thenasty:
All our Fav actors, actreses, comedian, Rockers, Wrestlers etc... are slowly dissapering. Wonder who's next?

Sad news indeed, I listen to George Carlin on CD every morning on my way to work. :(
