George Carlin Died

“yes it is true, George Carlin has passed away. This one came as a shock :(

George holds a very special place in my heart. We saw him 16 years ago and durning his show I went into labor with our son. (tuned 16 June 20)
Treebeard had the honor of meeting him at a book signing and even made George laugh.

I for one will miss his sence of humor, his honesty about life.

laugh on George..”

“Here's to Raul and Congolia Breckenridge...............Raul is an un-employed pearl-diver from Yuma........

Thanks for the laughs, George.”

“wonder if we can get a pass from being banned to quote his seven words on this thread.”

“Too bad he had to live with that common first name.”

“George was part of the holy trinity of comedy, IMO.

The other two are gone, also. Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and now George Carlin.

RIP”

“George came to This burg (of all places) about ten years ago.   He didn't seem to be in a mood to be funny that night.... So he tore 'em a new one!  

        Outstanding.

        So long, George!

“Those three guys had some coarse grit to their abrasive style of humor.”

“In New York it is 5 o'clock.

In Chicago it is 4 o'clock.

In Denver it is 3 o'clock.

In Lost Angeles it is 2 o'clock.

In Baltimore the time is 5:35!”

“"It's 68 degrees at the airport - which is pretty weird because I don't know anyone who lives at the airport!"”

“Tonight it will be dark with continuing darkness until morning......”

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.


There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.


At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.


As a matter of principle, I never attend the first annual anything.

The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.


Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!


This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen”

“You talkin' about Hank?”

“At the end, Carlin was too angry to be funny.”

“he was not bacpack, his views on humans never changed.




he pretty much hated everyone!”

“"thanks to our fear of death in this country I won't have to die I'll 'pass away.' Or I'll 'expire,' like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital they'll call it a 'terminal episode.' The insurance company will refer to it as 'negative patient care outcome.' And if it's the result of malpractice they'll say it was a 'therapeutic misadventure.'"

“George was too goofy to be angry.

I'll go along with mad/crazy, though.”

“I am aware
That some stare

I loved the Hair Poem!”

“This Saturday, I will feature George Carlin on my internet radio show as the days' feature artist. Join me on the Underground Railroad, Saturday from 2 to 6 PM, only on www.hgrnj.org. We will do a nice retrospective of much of the best of Carlin's material.”

“The "seven dirty words" were the result of a US Supreme Court Case (in which Carlin was the Defendant/Appellee) on an issue of free speech. The FCC had ruled he couldn't use those words on radio (free broadcast...this was way before media outlets like XM or HBO), Carlin fought it to the Supreme Court and lost.”

“They ruled the language "inappropriate," but not obscene. It was one of the most significant free speech cases of its time...

Tune in Saturday. We will play it straight through!!!”

“Bobby Fuller fought the law and the law won.”

“So, after reading the news report and the quote Ped posted, he had a terminal episode. Go figure!”

“Saw him in concert 1980 in Virginia.”

“That explains why I didn't see him; I was in Oklahoma in 1980.”

“If George were aware of this thread (and he's not), he would seriously ridicule every last bit of it. Never took himself seriously. Gotta like that.”

“D.O.R.K., I forget what the "equine critter" thing was all about but we ain't supposed to go there.

High-Yo Silver..................AWAY!!!!”

“Then there was the phone call a single guy never wants to get; "Hi remember me? You met me at a party 6-8 weeks ago- said I was a real good sport?"”
