didn't know him.

:shock:

You're the second person to say that to me in the past hour. And here I thought Carlin was a household name by now.

He was 71.  I'd consider that old compared to a lot of recent "celebrities" who have been dying in their 50s.

Anyway, a lot of "celebrities" have been kicking the bucket lately, and this is the only one to make me do a double take.  I loved most of his humor.  And to think he died less than 5 hours ago.  He's still laying there on a slab right now.  Right now.  Just laying there.  All pale and stuff.  Chest might even be cut up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carlin

He was one of the most influential comedians of all time, he pretty much pioneered "dirty" comedy back in the 70s.

I agree. Sad. :(

I can't believe how fast Wikipedia updates.  Do people just sit at their computers, scan the news and head to Wikipedia to update it before doing anything else?  They must be Wikipdia groupies or something.

Carlin was one of my favorite comedians (along with Kinison).  I'll miss his irreverence and disdain for humanity, but I'm honestly surprised that he lived this long considering his long history of drug abuse.  Good-bye, old friend.

Quote from: George Carlin pontificating
Now the word twat is an interesting word. Twat! Yeh, right in the twat. Twat is an interesting word because it's the only one I know of, the only slang word applying to the, a part of the sexual anatomy that doesn't have another meaning to it. Like, ah, snatch, box and pussy all have other meanings, man. Even in a Walt Disney movie, you can say, We're going to snatch that pussy and put him in a box and bring him on the airplane. Everybody loves it. The twat stands alone, man, as it should.
