George Carlin RIP
« on: June 23, 2008, 07:30:26 AM »
I haven't really liked the majority of his humor since he became so extremely bitter and angry but I can recite some of his older stuff from heart. I wish he could have found some sort of peace and happiness before he passed.  :(

From Toledo Window Box which was one of my first comedy tapes -

"Here are words that no one has ever said before...

Please saw my legs off

Hand me that piano

Do what you want to the girl but leave me alone!"

Awww... =/

I always felt he'd be one of the great philosophers of our time. The kind that get continue to be quoted in 2106 and beyond.

Edit: I was just reminded that he was supposed to come out to the New Orleans casino in a few months.

Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I actually got to see him in concert when I was 15 or so. He, Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy were the comics I listed to a lot growing up.

I'd like to say that the world is going to be less cynical without him, but I think he left a pretty good legacy of bitter comics behind.

Dude made his mark, and he died with his boots on, like a good Irishman.

I'll just pretend his time as a conductor to talking trains never happened and raise a glass of whiskey to him when I get home.

I was never a fan of his more cynical stuff either, but some of his jokes made me laugh.  Now comes the big question though; where does an atheist go?

He's a Frisbeetarian.
