GEORGE CARLIN (1937-2008)

Let me just start by offering my condolences to the Carlin family. George was an icon to anyone in not only stand up comedy, but also in anyone in radio. The man wasn't afraid to push the envelope, and aside from Richard Pryor, was the funniest stand up that ever lived, IMHO. "People I can do without", "Stuff"....damn! I still remember watching him perform "Stuff" as I watched that first Comic Relief in 1986, and thinking "Man! That white guy is crazy!" Thank God for George Carlin! As a stand up myself, I respect everything the man did. He said in a History Channel special called "History Of The Joke" that "A joke is just a funny story that takes the audience on a ride with a 180 degree turn at the end", then proceeded to tell the story of a man in a bar, who was looking for a woman. He found this woman towards the end of the night, and told her "Hey, you seem like a nice lady...would you like to go back to my apartment and make love? I live just right around the corner". She agreed, but he told her that he wanted to do something kinky. She said that was fine, so they went back to his place, and proceeded to make love in a very normal, boring fashion. When they were finished, she told him "...well, that was great...but I tought you said you wanted to do somerthing kinky?" The man said "I did...I just sh!t in your purse!" HILARIOUS! The world has lost one of it's class clowns. May you rest in peace. Thanks for entertaining the rest of us for as long as you did. We were definately the lucky ones!

George would probably shake his head at such a silly remark, as he did not believe in God or heaven or hell.

Classic Carlin: "Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time."
 
My favorite Carlin-ism.........."fighting for peace, is like screwing for virginity"
and, for his sake , I hope he was wrong about heaven.

And the last line..."But he loves us. He loves us!!"
