Comic Legend George Carlin Dead
 

Rueters is reporting that comic legend George Carlin has died this evening of heart failure in Santa Monica, CA. He was 71 years old. He was a gifted comedian. He will be missed.

The wonderful wino, hippy dippy weather man and speaker of the "7" words will be remembered forever as one of the best stand up comedians of all time.

RIP.......



........."darkness followed by widely scattered light in the morning."

Loved the man, and was privileged to see him live ... He had a lot to say in a pithy way ...

Great comedian who could put up a great debate on certain topics. RIP...

RIP... :(


from the Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George Carlin, the dean of counterculture
comedians whose biting insights on life and language were
immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV"
routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's
Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of
chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff
Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the
Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.
"He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who
was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s,
told The Associated Press.

a lot less laughter in this world this morning. very sad. :(
i was lucky enough to see him live twice. came home with two terrible headaches from laughing so hard but worth every aspirin!

RIP George
 

Sorry..just saw in political thread

Saw him in the late 80's at the Stanley Theatre in Utica, unfortunately it was a night after partying and believe it or not I was dozing off during his performance. :o

RIP to a truly funny guy. I enjoyed his style of humor, which was geared towards a certain demographic. Always enjoyed hearing his 'take' on issues. Sad news of his passing...

RIP

RIP George.

To be honest, I didn't think he was very funny. Then again, I never laughed at Bob Hope either.

BrownSugar,baby.....get those fascinating buns in here and give Mr. Carlin a proper send off.



Pay no mind to BentMahPud----he just looks dead.

And good morning to you, Harold.

Read any good matchbook covers lately?

f***EM LET EM GET THERE OWN DORITOS!!

One of my favorite lines was "I dont no why people wonder if the glass half full or half empty....the glass is just too damn big!" That just epitomized the way he looked at the world, really a special person.

He was a funny funny man and he will be missed. My favorite line from him was "Why do they call it disposable douche?, who would want to keep it in the first place?!"

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

Really clever man.
I liked the weather man stuff also.

i thought he was the best, i never laughed harder than at some of his material.
his observational humor was great although i could have done without his political rants which i thought were off base.

i could really indentify with his cynicism and his take on religion.
