RIP George Carlin

Post by noel »

One of the greatest comedians of my time.

Dead in an LA hospital from heart failure. Can't even find an article on it yet.

:(
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.

I just saw this on MSNBC. That's a real bummer. The old guy really gave me a lot of laughs over the years.

Rest in fucking peace.
For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression, but for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance.

This totally trashed my day... He was my favorite comedian.

Carlin and Pryor are two of the greatest ever. RIP


Funny guy. Sam Kinneson made me laugh harder though.
I have hung out with Bill Kinneson several times, I see him every so often and the stories he has are amazing.
When I was younger, I used to think that the world was doing it to me and that the world owes me some thing…When you're a teeny bopper, that's what you think. I'm 40 now, I don't think that anymore, because I found out it doesn't f--king work. One has to go through that. For the people who even bother to go through that, most assholes just accept what it is anyway and get on with it." - John Lennon

My favorite comedian.

Very glad I was able to see him live.

RIP
But I bet he wouldn't like that term... he's not really resting, he's fucking dead.

George Carlin on saving the planet:

lol


BTW, VV index still isn't working. I had to go find out when Carlin died and then go backwards through the current Events forum to that date.


Hope we don't lose some great posts from the past! Search is the only way to find the really old ones.
