...let's hope that Monsignor you played in 'Dogma' (not to mention a number of other things) doesn't keep you out of Heaven.
Sorry, just kidding.
Come on, it's George Carlin. I think he'd want everyone to be making jokes about him today.
Rest in peace to one hilarious man.
One of my favorite George Carlin bits:

Got to see him live a few times. Absolutely hysterical.

Very sad to hear the news yesterday. The world lost a legend.

I wonder if he got the "Two minute warning". One of my favorite bits.

Wow, had no idea that George Carlin passed away. Of course, I haven't had time to read the news lately getting back into the country and all. Man, that's a bummer. The comedy realm takes another huge hit. This is one grumpy old man who bitched about a lot of stuff that will actually be missed.

"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done'." Hahaha I never heard that bit. He was looking a bit on the older side in his last special, but overall, he looked to be in ok health. A lot of people are funny. Far fewer are funny while at the same time saying something valuable. Agree or disagree with him, he had unique points of view that were worth having out there, especially in someone with such a great ability to express them. |
