George Carlin dead at 71
 

Alls i can say is bleh :(

Wow. Lot's of people dropping recently. His "real sport" bit was great.

That sucks.

He was a very liberal, political comic whose views didn't usually match mine, but damnit all, he was funny as heck. I'll miss having him around.

And to be honest, I am surprised he was as young as 71. Always thought he was older.

:(

Wow, wikipedia had it before cnn.

I'll miss Carlin, he was a very funny comedian. I have two of his books around here, funny stuff.

Fuck.

Damn. One of my favorites. World is now even more less funny.

BOOOOOOOO now I am sad :(

Shit everyone seems to be dropping (knocks on wood)

Sooner or later, everybody does.

The key is to delay the exit (stage right) as long as possible, or if you can't do that, have as much fun as you can before you shuffle off the mortal coil.

Carlin always seemed to be the guy who found a laugh in anything, so I guess you can say 'mission accomplished' to the latter.

Hit me like a gut shot. :(

Gonna miss you George.

I'm on my third LP now.

You never realize how much someone talks of death until they're dead themselves.

Well, John Goodman's death was on Wikipedia before CNN.

Just sayin'.

To bad, he was one of a kind

Definitely a legend of comedy. RIP

I am in a state of mourning now...He is, will be one of my favorite comedians.

I was not into comedians at all until my mom remarried. My step brother played a George Carlin LP one night in our bedroom and I could not stop laughing (I was 12). Ever since, he he has always been one of my favorites.

RIP George, you will be missed.

John Goodman's dead?

I think it was more a long the lines of Wikipedia being reputable...

1. The Princess and the Frog (2009) (filming) (voice) .... Louis
2. Bunyan and Babe (2009) (filming) (voice) .... Paul Bunyan
3. Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) (post-production)
4. Gigantic (2008) (post-production)
5. In the Electric Mist (2008) (completed) .... Julie 'Baby Feet' Balboni

I don't think he is that dead....

In honor of the man, all I can say is...

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

RIP one of the best..

And the world got a little less funny...

RIP, George.

:( I saw him in Vegas - a couple years ago... very sad to see him go

My favorite comedian. RIP, George. :(

:(

SI

Sucky. :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

I had the chance to see him there a couple years ago ... we decided to wait until next time :(

:(

Welcome to the world of drug use.

Aww man :(

I know it makes no sense, but it just seemed like he would be with us forever. Hopefully his works will be available forever, at least. :)

He will be missed. A guy who was able to touch people of multiple political and social views.

As did I, about 5 years ago. He didn't look so hot even then.

RIP - One of my favorite comedians.

:(

Wow.

Was just listening to his stuff on the way in to work this morning. Literally twenty minutes ago I was listening to the end of his "Jammin in New York", about how human life is temporary and the world will just keep spinning on without us.

A lot of memories of Carlin while I was in high school.

My favorites were his two famous ones: seven words and the sports differences. I thought the latter was very clever but I have never personally agreed with it and slowly grew to dislike football because of it.

One of my favorite comedians. His last two specials on HBO were about death but he was still great. I will miss him.

:(

I love the "driving 500 miles in circles doesn't impress me" line he had when talking about racing. And how real sports require the chance of an injury. In the end, football is the only real sport. Thanks to George for setting us straight. :)

"In football, you are penalized. In baseball, you make an error. 'Oopsie, I made an error.' "

Hahaha that sports one is great.

Damn...the man was a comedic genius. I especially loved when he would rant on about religion. The man knew bullshit when he smelled it.

A friend and I were talking about comedians we wanted to see live. Carlin was #1 on the list. :(

Some of my favorites

RIP. The one comedian who proved it was okay to be intelligent and raunchy. :(

Wow, I never expected this. :( Bummer news. :(

Very sad. He will be missed - one of the truly great comedians of all-time.

This is just terrible... RIP George.

Gonna fire up Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure tonight.

RIP He was the best. Loved his religion rants.

I just moved him into my deleted file!

I've got to bust out some of my Carlin DVDs today.

Don't forget Prior in that list. Was a big fan of Carlin though. He had a nice run.
