17. "I think I'll repair to my lair and use Nair... do you care?"

to be 16 again... and listening to Carlin on the Dr. Demento Show, right after the National Lampoon radio hour.

Had to wear headphones to keep the parental units in the dark.

Crap. This is a very sad day.

George was the best there ever was at pure observational humor. And his rants on stage as of recent times were simply the best.

I'm glad I spent the money (when I had some extra) to go see him in Las Vegas... and there is little else there that would make me take a trip to that town.

3. Carlin would want to go rollerfucking as a corpse tied to a lama
on a jetski. RIP George, you were the best.

7. Ha ha
Carlin absolutely would welcome it and if you know him as a performer, you know it to be so.

11. Fuck you. I'm a communist and I love that Goddamn Fucker George Carlin.
I'm pretty close to communist because my economics are way to the left and I think anyone who doesn't like Carlin or votes for McCain should be sent to a gulag.

12. I already got my white tux ready
those 30 years of tap dance lessons are finally gonna pay off. .:sarcasm:

on note: Sorry he passed away. I thought much of what he did was very funny.
Although, I'm more of a socialist than a communist

15. Carlin would actually laugh his ass off at the idea of grave dancing.
His response would likely be something like, "Okay, fuckers, dance. Then, go do fucking do something useful, like get drunk or beat up a priest."

19. I think you meant "is a capitalist tool/fool."
Carlin was a relentless critic of the lies and deceptions of the capitalist society he experienced and exposed. He was the enemy of those who now rule our world, and thus an enemy to capitalism.

23. I was trying to be somewhat Carlinesque
The notion of calling somebody a communist or using the word 'communist' as a deregatory statement circa the McCarthy era. I guess it fell flat. :-(

20. Carlin was the anti Tim.
Carlin was against every Tim was for.

The world is a sadder place without George Carlin.

21. Opportunist that I am...
I was able to snag an old Carlin routine (VHS, no less), on EBAY real cheap.

I think George would appreciate that too.

RIP, my man.
