Comedian George Carlin dies at 71

I knew george, he was a good friend of my sister and she provided the animals for the situation commedy he had for a season, he was given a puppy as taxi fare and the entire show was based on that one story..

I remember one of my favorite lines george wrote on the set as we were working, one of the charachters frinds was comming on to the waitress and she looks him over saying;

"do you work out?:

the character says

"why yes, a little bit"

the waitress says;

"try working out a little bit more"

anyway, george was a great guy and he and my sister kept in touch for quite a while

rest easy george, rest well

I heard the news on the radio this morning and I was shocked beyond belief. He was a great comedian who's humor was about the truths of everyday life.

He will be missed by many.

I personally saw two of his shows and I never laughed so hard in my life.
 
Damn that sucks. :( I enjoyed his stand up comedy so much. And the few time he was in movies was also very enjoyable. :(
 
RIP George, you were one of my all-time favorites.
 
george carlin was a most excellant commedian and I am sure he will party on with his new and most excellant adventure
 
I feel extra lucky to have seen him in concert. Sirius Raw Dog has an all day tribute to him on, great to hear all the comics talk about him and to hear a ton of his stuff as well.
 
RIP George. One of the greatest comedians ever, may he go with the Joe Peci in the sky. :)
 
George was one of my heroes :p. I saw him as less of a comedian and more of a philosopher, just the things he talked about were funny :) Went on a "When Will Jesus Bring the Porkchops?" book on cd marathon today in his honor. RIP buddy, you are already missed.
 
I got this forwarded to me in email and I actually read it. Classic.

Enjoy the ride; There is no return ticket
George Carlin on aging!
IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life
! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But! wait!! !
You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and make it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into ! your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST
92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

2.
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3.
Keep learning.! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil'sfamily name isAlzheimer's.

4.
Enjoy the simple things.

5.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.

8.
Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10.
Tell the people you love that you love them , at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away
.
And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?But do share th is with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!
Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,

totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'
