George Carlin dead at 71

Postby brinstar » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:03 am

of heart failure.

good comedian, more intelligent than people usually give him credit for. some of his insights on language, i always felt, were especially brilliant. he'll be missed by many.

brilliant man, really. didn't always agree with him, but he had something a lot of people in hollywood don't - he was as genuine as they come. love him or hate him, that's an awesome quality to have.

I always enjoyed his ramblings on religion, myself. surprised he didn't die sooner with his lifestyle, but I didn't even realize he was sick.. maybe he wasn't? Honestly the first I read about his death was on NT.

anyhow, it puts the end to an era - he was certainly a unique mind.

he was funny and edgy back in the day, but it's been many decades since he's been relevant

that being said, he obviously had a big impact to be able to milk 7 words for so long

    I think 2 of his 7 words you can't say on Tv, you can now say,

    Tits, I know I've heard tits but maybe it was on cable (not premium btw) and I know for sure I've heard Piss.

    And why are there two threads ?
