I haven't listened to any of his routines in awhile but I use to love them. I didn't know he was having medical problems
EDIT: An excerpt from one of his routines
quote: “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 live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...
...and you finish off as an orgasm.”

If you were ever wondering which threads are appropriate to swear in, stop wondering now.

Don't quite know what to say... some explicit language comes to mind, but I'll just leave it there for the time being. Not a good way to start on a Monday morning. I was introduced to Mr. Carlin's work through a late friend of mine and instantly took a liking to it. I really liked the fact that no party was safe from his jokes... Guess I'll be listening to some of his work tonight, to refresh my memory.

Just read this on CNN. Damn. He was funny and smart, and I'll miss him.
Jeez, between him and Vonnegut, where are we going to get our curmudgeons?

Darnit. He was one of my favorite comedians. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Dang. He was just here performing. In is honor, I am going to go through the house and get rid of everyone's sh**, so I will have more room for my stuff.

He will most sincerely be missed.
I'll be sure to swear a lot today, in his honor.

Any link I can post in his honor would violate site Terms of Service.
Oh ,I actually liked him, why do the funny die young?
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Indeed, Pix. Exactly what I said when I heard the news. Although I'm sure I mispronounced the asterisks.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
Goody: In fairness, when George said what I was quoting, he didn't say the asterisks either.
T:Man: 71 isn't that young. Especially if you've abused as many drugs as he did.
Still... I didn't see this coming. He was one of my favorite comedians when I was a teenager. I'm really sad to see him go ='(

Young compared to when I'm going to die!

Be excellent to eachother...That's what he taught me. Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :
I wonder if he'll roll over and scratch himself on the autopsy table.
Or if he got his "two minute warning."
Or if he's going to be blown up instead of cremated.
Sad to see him go, but George has prepared us well. After all, you're all going to die.
It's on your schedule.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
And... Party on, dudes.

Just always remember its ok to prick your finger but not to finger your .......
George will be greatly missed! He was a great man who made you laugh and made you think at the very same time!
