George Carlin dies at 71

My dad was very heratbroken by his passing, as he was a lifelong fan and friend with George.
You will be missed George.
 
If a turtle is without his shell, is he naked or homeless??

Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways??

Two of George's many many queries. I will miss him and his comedy. He was a comedic icon. He was the very 1st SNL host in 1975. Funniest man alive at the time.

In one of his most famous routines, Carlin railed against euphemisms he said have become so widespread that no one can simply “die.”

“‘Older’ sounds a little better than ‘old,’ doesn’t it?,” he said. “Sounds like it might even last a little longer. ... I’m getting old. And it’s OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die — I’ll ‘pass away.’ Or I’ll ‘expire,’ like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital they’ll call it a ‘terminal episode.’ The insurance company will refer to it as ‘negative patient care outcome.’ And if it’s the result of malpractice they’ll say it was a ‘therapeutic misadventure.”’

I read about George Carlin's death Sunday night via Yahoo. Of course the first commercial I see on tv is the one that can't say a word cause it is one of the 7 words that can never be said on television. Thank you George for the many laughs I got from watching or listening to you. R.I.P.
 
**** **** **** **** ********** ************ ****.

Looks like the 'Gym nails them all. :frown:

The funny part was that for the most part those words still can't be said on TV before the watershed. The less funny part is that memetic mutation will ensure Carlin is to the general populace (in)famous for those seven words and those seven words alone, to the exclusion of all his other work. Shame.

EDIT: Actually, having tried them all, there's one it doesn't nail. Leaving them all starred out for hilarity though.
 
He was one of the prime social commentators of the 20th century. It is indeed a bit of a shame that he is most remebered for a skit that couldn't be mentioned on a family forum like this one, and an even greater shame that there is probably no-one alive that can fill his boots.

Rest in peace, George.
