RIP George Carlin

This really came as a shock to me. One of my favorite comedians, especially his earlier stuff. He was 71.

He was one the best when it came to figuring out where the line was and then creatively and deliberately crossing it.

Carlin was a devout atheist. in fact, he called religion in general "Bullshit". "RIP George, he used to be pretty funny before his ego got the best of him."

I remember a friend bringing the album with the 7 bad words to my house. We listened to it when our parents weren't around. scary funny.

Looks like it came as a shock to him too as his calendar says he was already booked for the rest of 2008.

And kids, you can't say those seven words on RSU/JC either.

He will be missed for sure. Probably one of the only comedians that I could laugh at endlessly. I wonder where he is now? lol

yeah he was the man, and he was never afraid to push the limits of his comedy.....
