Damn! The first comedy album I ever bought my parent took away from me! (AM/FM)
RIP George thanks for a million laughs. I'm stunned.

Wow. That's terrible news.
I grew up listening to George Carlin (which may explain a lot about me). I got to see him live a few years ago, and it was the one of the funniest shows I ever went to.
So long, Mr. Carlin. You will be missed.
Damn. Just...damn. :bluesad:
He was one of my favorite funny men. A true comedy legend. He'll be sorely missed.
If there was one guy I could relate to it was George. A great mind is gone... :bluesad:
RIP...thank you for the laughs and trying to make fum of idiotic things in our society.
Now that is a shock. Carlin always seemed younger than he obviously was. Was a huge fan of his back in high school.
I guess there's only one thing to say about it:
"Sh!t, p!ss, f**k, c*nt, C**ksucker, motherf**ker, t!ts!"
oohhh that silly man. Hope he has a good afterlife.
This is a major loss. I'm a long-time admirer of GEORGE CARLIN. We will miss him. Good night George!
I heard about this early this morning, and I was shocked. We've lost a great mind and a great comedian.
If only it was Dane Cook...
R.I.P. Mr. Carlin. You were easily one of the funniest men ever to walk the planet.
Say hello to Richard Pryor, John Belushi and Sam Kinison for me..... :bluesad:

Don't forget about the Three Stooges, Georgie. And Bob Hope. RIP
The day I knew would come but always dreaded :-(
The one good side is that the afterlife has to have the best Comic Revue ever.

That's assuming his soul isn't stuck on the roof.

Or his tried and true "Rat Sh!t, Bat Sh!t, Dirty old Tw@t, Sixty-Nine @$$holes tied in a knot. Hooray, Lizard Sh!t, , F**K!"
I will miss him, but you know, wherever they are, He and Richard Pryor are hanging out together.
No doubt Lenny Bruce is with them.
Does anyone else find it ironic that we are talking about George Carlin's afterlife? Can't imagine what he'd say about that.
What I always liked about him, and what usually makes me appreciate comedy, is that he found a simple truth, then pointed out how crazy it is. He had many routines like that, but one I remember was him talking about "your s**t" and how, when you went places, you were steadily required to cut down, and down, and down, until you just had the essential things - what you could not live without.
RIP Mr. Carlin, whose narration of the "Thomas and Friends" (yes, the children's stories) always threw me for a loop.
Quite a tribute to him on the public radio station I was listening to on the way home from work. Among other things, they played this entire routine:
