George Carlin RIP

[OTWarrior]

I don't know if any of you have heard, but a few days ago Comedian George Carlin passed away due to heart failure. He was 71.

I am a big fan of his, and it is sad to see such a great guy go.

He was famous for his "Seven dirty words you can't say on TV" sketch, and also he was Rufus in both "Bill and Ted" films.

Aw Man!

I'll be honest, if you had asked I wouldn't have known his name, but I know the Bill & Ted movies and saw him doing some stand up on TV over the years.

Sorry to hear about this.

Heres another link using some of his fantastic quotations,

He is still my favorite comedian. And not just for his jokes (which they are very funny to me), but his views on everything is very insightful. I liked how he questioned everything and how he always told us to look at ourselves and the way we are. The weird thing for me is, I don't feel sad about it. I think that's because he really gave it his all and he used all of his time to do that. He told us everything that we needed to know to keep his way of thinking going. He made the biggest impact on us as he could, and he did a great job and for a LONG time (over 50 years of comedy). He never stopped and his shows were almost ALWAYS sold out (again for a LONG time). While some people say "How sad" or "Isn't that too bad?" I say, "What a guy. What a great guy."

Congrats on all the success, George. Let's see somebody top that!


And if anyone is interested there is a DVD collection entitled "All my stuff" by George Carlin which includes ALL HBO specials (except the last 2 I believe) and some interviews. Find it at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/George-Carlin-All-My-Stuff/dp/B000RPCJBG/ref=sr_1_1/103-0943848-2995025?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1214781002&sr=1-1). I'm going to buy it before that price goes up because of his death.
