OH MAN!!!
George Carlin was GREAT!!!
My favorite was his news cast;
"A dead polar bear was found in a donut shop in the Bronx"
"A dog exploded on a street corner..."
Etc....
He will be missed.

He was a master of the language.  I saw him live a couple of times back in the '70s...his humor and take on the language was timeless. 

I know he'll be stirring up trouble in the great beyond, but...Rest in Peace, my man...Rest in Peace.

Pretty sad day. My twin is gone. More than one person has told me I look like George Carlin. I've also seen him live, and he was a stich.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
I remember sitting in my room after school with my friends listening to one of his albums.  What great times.  Then a few of us got to see him live in the early 90's.  Even my step son is a big fan, all these years later.
 
I remember him saying how we all knew about this funny stuff he says, he just reminds us all of it.
 
Yesterday on the radio, they replayed part of the hippy-dippy weatherman, and I forgot he had one the lines I loved best - "It's 88 degrees at the airport, which is stupid because I don't know anyone who lives at the airport!"



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
