This is a very sad day :(
He will certainly be missed.

He was his own person. He put a spin on things that others try, and fail, to copy.

Just his name takes me back to my high school days when I was a not-so-well behaved teenager. Now that I'm a not-so-well behaved adult, I will miss George Carlin and his sarcastic and sharp sense of humor.

I will miss him and his humor as well. He was on the other night, a young George Carlin, I think it was the first time I saw him so young... now he is gone. R.I.P. George.... or better yet give 'em hell.

He's still right in saying that Tits doesn't belong on the list. You know the heavy seven, the ones that will infect your soul, twist your spine, and keep the country from winning the war. I wish I could buy nabisco tits at the store. My mom and dad were never so proud (sarcasm) as when I found a George Carlin tape when I was about 12 and memorized it.

I was shocked and saddened this morning when I read that he had passed. His sense of humor and comedy style was certainly one of a kind. When I was in high school (we won't mention how long ago that was) I bought his album "Class Clown", that was the one with the original 7 dirty words. My friends and I memorized the entire album and would recite it word for word. He will be missed greatly by us all.
On a side note, when I got in to work this morning I mentioned to one of my employees that George Carlin had died and Adam (21 yrs old) said he didn't know who that was. Wow. That made me feel really old and at the same time I felt sad for Adam because he had missed out on an American comedy icon. Thank God for videos, CDs and DVDs. George's comedy will live on forever.

A man who stretched the boundries of our minds through humor. Wonder if he liked dogs? In my mind, I see him as more of a cat person....did he ever do a skit about pets...? Anyway, I will miss him; so many lately having heart trouble, including my ex....currently hospitalized, had a big MI last week, was just told he is now a 'cardiac cripple'- can't work anymore.....I think George did it right...wonder if he is already musing over his new digs....would love to hear that routine! I guess maybe I should be careful what I wish for....jh

Jodagirl, I bet your 21 year old friend would remember George. You just need to explain who he was, in the right context:
" In 1991, he provided the narrative voice for the American version of the children's show Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, a role he continued until 1998. He played "Mr. Conductor" on the PBS children's show Shining Time Station which featured Thomas from 1991 to 1993 as well as Shining Time Station TV specials in 1995 and Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales in 1996."
My 19 year old daughter didn't know who he was, until I asked her to remember Thomas the Train, a huge part of her early childhood.

Damn,
I will sincerely miss just knowing he was there.
Stuff will never be the same.
Rest in peace George.
