I still think of him when I see guys hitching.

"the unwritten book of the road"

Carlin's classic religion routine:

George Carlin once said:

"I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas," he told Reuters in a 2001

live - life

Sad :(

Fuck.

I'm not one of these who comes to every death notice on the DR and says some sort of silly, "I will miss him/her".

But I will truly miss George Carlin. He was one of the wittiest and quick comedians in my lifetime. I've had the privelege of seeing him live 4 times. This is a shock.

All I can say is,

shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits

RIP, George

I'll say it on this duplicate thread, too:

Carlin on the 10 commandments...

George Carlin is dead?

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits!!!!

Man, that totally sucks.

George Carlin was one of America's best humourists and a helluva stand up comic.

He made Spud think and laff a lot.

The original 7 dirty words routine...

George Carlin once said:

"I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas," he told Reuters in a 2001

Rest in peace, George, wherever you are.

I don't believe in religion, or a god

~George Carlin.

Here's acouple more of GC's wot Spud is like.

Athiesm is a non-prophet organisation

I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

~George Carlin

Be Well.

why couldn't god have taken Dennis Miller instead?

Dayum we are losing all of our greats. When they are all gone we are gonna be so screwed. They knew about LIVING we sure the fuck don't. RIP George Carlin. Say Hi to Tim Russert.

Good point!

Make it a two fer.

Leave George and take Dennis AND Carrot-top instead.

Be Well.

Sure would be interesting if George could come back to (life) for a few minutes and tell us if he still doesn't believe in God. Might just change the attitude of a few confirmed atheists around here.

Well, since he won't, will that change the attitude of the confirmed religious around here?

If only George could come back for a couple minutes and tell us if he still doesn't believe in God. Hmmmm.

If there is a God I hope he'd know better then to take that deal.....

What if we throw in Gallagher?

Might just change the attitude of a few confirmed atheists around here.

Or it might proove to the few confirmed atheists and agnostics that religion is bunk and the Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and all the others have been lying to humanity for centuries.

1) Who is carrot top? I've never heard of him. 2) What's wrong with Dennis Miller except that he is on Fox and therefore gets the involuntary knee-jerk piss-off retort from the left?

dennis miller isn't that funny. He makes so many obscure references that he seems to be trying too hard.

Well, since he did not come back and tell us he was wrong about he beliefs, he must be right -- there is indeed no god.

He makes so many obscure references that he seems to be trying too hard.

That's what I liked about him (DM). Like George Carlin, his humor makes me think. So much humor these days is tailored to the brainless and spoon fed to them.

or he is burning in hell begging for mercy and can't escape.

His quisling politics aside, Miller simply stopped being funny. I liked him when he ranted. Now he pontificates.

And count your lucky stars you're not familiar with Carrot Top.

He's got the pretentious delivery of a name dropper.

Sometimes he'll hit a good one, but mostly it'll feel like a stretch.

Oh and carrot top was the red headed comedian that used big goofy props...

Of course he could come back and tell us Ron Hubbard had it right all along....

George Carlin's incomplete list of impolite words.

George Carlin Dies

Gee, he was just here a minute ago.

Don't let the religious freaks hijack this thread.

This is not about your imaginary friend in the sky, it's about one of the funniest people who ever lived.

The world is truly a less funny place.

This is not about your imaginary friend in the sky, it's about one of the funniest people who ever lived.

It's an inevitability because of Carlin's bits on religion. I don't mind it so much. It gives us another chance to see just how shallow some of the "Christians" who post on this blog are.

Sure would be interesting if George could come back to live for a few minutes and tell us if he still doesn't believe in God. Might just change the attitude of a few confirmed atheists around here.

You could use the same snarky premise against people who do believe. Anyone who needs somebody to come back from death to affirm the existence of God doesn't believe in God.

He says he didn't believe in God -- well, God bless him. He did well with his time, making millions laughs -- and think -- and laugh again. I'm no atheist, but I'm not about to condemn the man for mocking the corruptions and anti-free will aspects of religion. In fact, I celebrate it. Yes, the way spirituality has been served up is often idiotic and movie of the week ready. His last routine on death and loved ones had me rolling and nodding and thinking about the subject beyond his satire, straight to the marrow of the concept itself. The guy seemed like a crag from the Irish residue of Spanish Harlem (a family friend from the PR side of the neighb used to face off with him in knuckle scrapping gang fights -- so he says.) and I loved that. Old school, cynical f'you New Yawker with a good mind and heart who didn't need no belief in hail mary's or feel the need to tell some woman what to do with her body in order to know that bombing and blowing up brown people is our biggest business -- besides bombing and blowing up make believe people in the picture shows, of course. G.C. -- you'll be missed.

He can't be dead, I just saw him on tv the other day.

/sux

In my opinion, Carlin's comedy routine was better in his earlier years. As he aged, he got more cynical. His last HBO special wasn't even funny.

With George Carlins passing and that of Kurt Vonnegut last year, two of the people who shaped my thinking in my teen year are gone. I do not believe Carlin's objected to individuals having religious faith, but rather against the heavy handed nature of the faith he grew up in, namely the Catholic Church.

George Carlin was kicked out of Cardinal Hayes HS for being an asshole. He should have been struck down by God decades ago.

or he is burning in hell begging for mercy and can't escape.

Posted by messiah

and remember god loves you.

More likely kicked out for speaking truth to power. George did his own thing, with great success. Pointing out the obvious absurd wasy that institutions shape our lives with lies. He wasn't critical of Jesus, just the many Corporations that used his name to make money, while contradicting his very message.

I guess instead of high school suspensions, we need to go straight to summary executions, Tim?

George Carlin, Kurt Vonnegut and Hunter S Thompson.

The greats are all passing and we're left with what?

Dennis Miller, "Dr." Phil, and Paris Bloody Hilton?

you both suck really hard.

and carlin was one of the funniest people in his prime. I really felt like he turned into just a mean old man but you cant deny that he was a pioneer and trailblazer and he was as funny as anyone had ever been
I loved his bits on baseball versus football and those kinds of bits.
and he was a pretty good observer of the human condition in the 20th century.....

yeah NG3

and this tells you all you need to know about the american liberal and why its so important that we dont have one that lives in the white house.

but then, the american liberal doesnt give a shit about a million or so babies a year so what the fuck wrong with wishing one old comedian buys the farm......

Some of his stuff was extremely funny. Then he reached this mythical status where everything that came out of his mouth was declared brilliant for the simple reason that it came out of HIS mouth. And he wasn't nearly as funny anymore.

Probably not his fault though. Comedians need to see audience reaction in order to gauge what is funny or not.

Ted Baxter as a result of Carlin being kicked out of Crdinal Hayes his family was booted out on their tenement building in the South Bronx. THe police presence was the only thing that kept them from being tarred and feathered. YOung Carlin was taken under the wing of a young free mason that used entertainment to promote anti-semitism in NY. George Carlin went on to become a leader in the anti-semitism movement in America

Gee, I'd really like to read up on all that.

Alas, no link.

What a sad way to start out the week. George Carlin was the satiric voice of my generation. While his "7 Deadly Words" may be the basis of a Supreme Court decision, I will always remember him for his "Hippy Dippy Weatherman" and his "Radar shows a line of thunderstorms. Radar also shows a line of ICBMs so I wouldn't sweat the thunderstorms." Mr. Carlin has continued to entertain me and to speak for my generation. His latest rants were brilliant rages against the indignities of aging. George, I am going to miss you. And I bet anything St. Peter is NOT ready for your act but he'll succumb just like the mortals you entertained for so many years. Rest in peace.

Ted Baxter it wasn't a secret. George Carlin came back years later but the Komansky family(Jewsi Crime family) chased him out of the South Bronx thanks to the youngest Komansky son quick thinking and ability to swing a baseball bat. This young son later became CEO of Morgan Stanley thanks to the Irish influence in the South Bronx

I've known Dennis Miller isn't funny for a really long time, and that's completely unbiased because I've never seen him on fox news and couldn't care less about his views. That said, I don't really think anyone was actually wishing him dead, they would have just rather seen him and Carrot Top go than Carlin, and most everyone on the planet would agree.

All that aside, I will miss George Carlin alot, he was the funniest person that ever lived to alot of people. Not only was his stuff funny, but it was fucking hilarious because of how true the shit was, everyone could relate and know exactly what he was talking about.

The Hippy Dippy Weatherman

Reed,
Why don't you dig up his corpse and blow him back to life?

If you're going to "miss" a guy that you've never met and only saw on tv then IO'd suggest you're a loser. Not that it's news to you or anyone that's ever met you.

s/ It sounds like I have done my job. My only regret is that Carlin could not have been sent to the Abyss sooner

Too bad Carlin/Hunter Headless Thompson wasn't a murder/suicide.

And I'm sure there's people you've missed that you've never met, but I bet you'll deny it. I was fortunate enough to make it to 2 of his shows actually, how very informed of your dumb ass.

"Pen pal kills pal with pen"

With George Carlins passing and that of Kurt Vonnegut last year, two of the people who shaped my thinking in my teen year are gone.

Mine too. Along with Joseph Heller, Carlin and Vonnegut were pretty good role models for how to approach life's bottomless capacity for absurdity.

Hey! I know who this guy is. He made me laugh.

Still, I'm glad the mother fucker is finally dead.

YYYYYYEEEEEHHHHHAAAAWWWW!!!!

RIP George.

I was fortunate a few years ago and caught his act in Las Vegas on New Years Eve. I loved it.

From Catholics to Politics, his irreverent view caused me to laugh and think.

You will be missed George.

"The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things - bad language and whatever - it's all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition,"

"There's an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed. Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body. ... It's reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have."

Robert Anton Wilson called Carlin the world's greatest living Philosopher. Was arguably true until yesterday.

Who's left now for deep thought as well as a laugh?

At least we still have Paul Mooney.

God, please let Mooney live to 150!

I remember I was on a ski trip and they showed a George Carlin nvideo on the bus. I took a ski pole and started whacking the VCR until it broke and then I started hitting the lady who put the videotape in with my other ski pole. GOd then thanked me when he gave me her snowboard when she left the ski club

"Robert Anton Wilson called Carlin the world's greatest living Philosopher. Was arguably true until yesterday."

In recent years his act became "I hate X type of person. I hope X horrible thing happens to them." repeated over and over. And people would go crazy for it because a while ago it became very fashionable to go crazy over George Carlin. Sure, some his descriptions of the people he hated were funny and a few of his ideas on what should happen to those people were original, but for the most part it was mean-spirited, repetitive and thoughtless. Definitely not funny and definitely not "deep".

If at one point he was a "philosopher" he stopped being one well over a decade ago. Nothing ruins a comedian like people kissing their ass.

Tim if you broke my vcr you wouldn't have had to worry about a snowboard.

Both of those look awful.

Same thing happens with musicians.

I often wonder what would have happened to Hendrix had to live longer. All that "New Rising Sun" material he was working on was bad. Would he have cheesed out in the 80's after a flop album or two? I'd like to think not but who knows.

Ugh... let's not even wonder about Hendrix, though I wonder about Lennon in that respect.

I think Hendrix listened more to the acid induced voices than any of his sycophants.

Though with musicians, I think it more often has to do with money, the richer they get, the poorer their music becomes. It just becomes something they do, rather than something their lives are depending on.

"though I wonder about Lennon in that respect."

Yoko once left John Lennon when his career was in a major slump then came back to him once "Whatever Gets Your Through the Night" became a huge hit. There is no telling what depths he would have sunk to in order to have another hit in the 80's considering his marriage would have depended on it.

"And, Tits doesn't belong on the list, man!"

:D

What a shame he became such a hateful man at the end of his life. Early in his career he would tolerate anyone and tell you to do so, also. But at the end he became the typical leftist/liberal that hated and talked bad and vulgar about those who disagreed with him. He was funny and thought provoking when he was younger and that's the way I'll try to remember him.

Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!

Maybe God called Carlin to Hebbin just to borrow a coupla bucks off him.

I actually know a guy who died for about 20 minutes, he was a devout catholic at one point in his life. The last time I talked to him he said "I hate to ruin the surprise for you, but there's nothing else..." I was like what? What do you mean there's nothing else? He's like "There's nothing else when you die. No singing angels, no golden gates, no bright light. There's only nothing, and lots of it. You were right, I'm right now..."

Sure would be interesting if jag offs wouldn't use unfortunate events to push their ridiculous superstitions on the sane ones who post here. Might just make you a little more tolerable if you'd kindly mind your fucking business.

Welcome aboard. And, myself, I think that Montecore and Chairborne are the same person. In fact, my first post here was a draw to see if I could get them to pretend to interact some more. It worked.

I'm just not sure which persona is closer to his real, yet.

Sad about Carlin. Doubly sad that I am hosting a tribute to him ( www.townparkradio.com ) and my listenership dropped to zero. My regulars seriously messaged me asking why I had "this vulgar crap" on. Lots of people apparently just don't know who he is. He just hasn't been all that relevant lately, I guess. To those of us I'd say... 25 and older, he was CRUCIAL.

well lets see.......each year the number of innoent life lost BECAUSE OF LIBERALISM reached just about a million, does it not?

and the only reason the left mentions rush is because they still cant compete in the FREE MARKET OF IDEAS>......air america is about to or has filed for bankruptcy the SECOND TIME......

what you call progress I call this country falling into the abyss of liberalism and its my right to speak out anytime I want....and THATS what the so called fairness doctrine is about that will be reinstated if there is a president obama.

so bottom line is.....you dont like what we say so you would be happy with us not being able to say it....

and I HAVE HAD IT with sanctamonious liberals trying to tell me that IM a moron because I have vaules and am not afraid to say that something is wrong or not......

but isnt it great that we can talk like this and its too bad that if there is a president obama, the first amendment for conservatives will be a thing of the past.

sorry I published too soon.

and what irony it is that on this thread about
carlin is where I talk about losing the first amendment right.........

George Carlin is truly outside lookin in now ...just like he always liked it...thx for trying to wake us up...see ya George!

Axiom.....You forgot to include Judaism in your list of religions with questionable beliefs....

I don't need to make a complete list. They're all questionable.

We're doomed to destroy ourselves because some just can't wait to be raptured...despite there being evidence that the rapture isn't part of Christian teachings, instead it is misinterpreted by some believers.

It's funny to me that I, as an agnostic, follow the "teachings of Christ" better than the self-proclaimed--here to save my soul--loving their fellow man--turning the other cheek--Christians on this blog.

All of them.

hey you know what?
I am a little sick of the mainsteam liberal media now trying to turn this guy into some kind of "fighter for free speech"! Just because a track from his album "Class Clown" ( the seven dirty words) were the offending material in the Supreme Court case does not mean it was Carlin advocating and representing some side in a free speach fight.
It was the fuckin DJ who played it, and his lawyers, if anyone should stand out as a free speech fighter. Carlin never did anything except say provocative things in his act designed to shock and entertain. Hey- one thing I really love is a good steak. And so I eat a good steak quite frequently. That does not make me an advocate for the beef industry.

What a fucking stupid comment. Who gives a shit.

Do you know what Whiteboys have credibility in the hood. LANDLORDS and the POLICE

Carlin was so intense. It probably contributed to his demise.

Now here's a boy, who wanted to be "of the hood, Mezz Mezzrow.

Some excerpts from Wikipedia.

Mezz Mezzrow became more well-known for his drug-dealing than his musical prowess. In his time, he was so well-known in the jazz community for selling marijuana that "Mezz" became slang for marijuana. He was also known as the "Muggles King," the word "muggles" (also the title of a famous 1928 Louis Armstrong recording), being slang for marijuana at that time.

Mezzrow praised and admired the African-American style. In his autobiography Really The Blues, Mezzrow writes that from the moment he heard jazz he "was going to be a Negro musician, hipping [teaching] the world about the blues the way only Negroes can."

Mezzrow married a black woman, Mae (also known as Johnnie Mae), moved to Harlem, and declared himself a "voluntary Negro." In 1940 he was caught by the police to be in possession of sixty joints trying to enter a jazz club at the New York World's Fair, with intent to distribute. When he was sent to jail, he insisted to the guards that he was black and was transferred to the segregated prison's black section. He wrote (in Really the Blues):

Mezzrow wrote in his autobiography Really the Blues that he was ecstatic, when the police put him in the black tank in jail. That was back in the days when jials were racially segregated, which considering the violence that now occurs between races (which don't exist according to libs but which somehow self-identify) and ethnic groups, was beneficial, but pragmatism is again sacrificed to ideology.

By the way morons, Carlin was from the hood. He grew up in the South Bronx.

Fredo needs a lobotomy.

Carlin was so intense. It probably contributed to his demise.

Yeah but mostly I think it was being old.

Chronic cocaine use probably doesn't promote long life either.

He was 71.

That might be long for your generation, Zat, but people are routinely living into their 90's these days, especially ones who can afford the best health care, nutrition, etc.

My mother was one of twelve children.
Only she and her brother made it into their 90's.
He's still farming, my cousins are appalled; A hard life, but it's good for one.

Yes, 78. And that includes the crack ho's in the Bronx, and the bums on Skid Row. I stand by my post - those who can afford the best care are routinely living into their 90's. You don't disagree with that, do you?
