The Shrine

Probably one of my favorite comedians.

Aw...damn it.

It also bugs me how I'm surprised when folks like Carlin die. That's like a punch to the gut. He was one of the fresher voices on stage.

Tip of the hat to ya, George. Go tell God what you think of him in person.

Poor Eric-- so stricken with grief you mispelled his name in the subject...

I never really cared for him, personally, but I did respect him as a great comedian and one of those guys that really pushed the limits

That sucks, his stand up is awesome, and he was still doing it!

I knew I shoulda gone to see him last year. Now I'll never get the chance. He was definitely one of my favs.

I watched one of his HBO specials on last night... boy was he different back in 1977! I only remembered him as a crotchety cranky old man, but here he had hair and he was animated and his jokes were funny For some reason he reminded me of Russell Crowe, the way his hair was done. All of it was pretty damn funny; this was his most famous one (7 words you can't say, etc) and I was highly entertained

His earlier years before he was political wasn't that great. (Or maybe it was a stint in the 80's where he decided not to do anything political.)

Check out his euphemisims (sp?) rant, it's freakin' hilarious

BTW, SNL is running it's first ever show tomorrow as a tribute to Carlin since he was their first host

It was sad to hear.
