Comedian George Carlin died today. "The Foole" has left to spar with George Burns, Lenny Bruce, and Andy Kaufman. =:P

jeez, I just got done watching his "7 Words" routine, the "football vs. baseball," and the "cats and dogs." This guy's stuff has become part of Americana. He was a genius!

My favorite joke by him was

Did you hear the one about the gay man who was run over by a car? The doc came to the parents and told them he had some good news and bad news. "The bad news first", he said. "Your son is in a coma and looks like he'll never come out of it". "What possibly could be good news, doc?" asked the dad.

"Well, he WAS a fruit, now he's a vegetable!"

R.I.P.

He was my favorite comedian I've watched him for years. He was one of those comedian's that never got old. The young people today like him as much as my generation did.

He will be missed :puppyeyes:

As the Hippy Dippy Weather Man (very early in his career) he was the first to deliver this often repeated forecast:

"The forecast for tonight: Dark."

RIP George.

And turner lighter towards morning... :D

I did find his "perceptions" approach to life questions funny. The 7 words bit was revolutionary. He was a bit hard on religion, I wonder what he was thinking about God just before he died?! I hope he saw the light.

Peace be with all the Carlin family!
