George Carlin

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

Happy Sunday!!!

George Carlin . . . a comedy legend . . . left us yesterday. And . . . he loved to meet others.Talking about signing autographs, he said, “I always do it. No matter what. Look, it’s 30 seconds out of my life. And now those people had a good experience. And the next time my name comes up, for the rest of their lives, they’ll say ‘Yeah, I met Carlin once. He was nice.’ I’d much rather th

Unless you hadn't heard by now, George Carlin died Sunday. I'm not going to go into his life story or how he was such a landmark figure for comedy or any of that other stuff almost every blog or news site gives you. Sure, I really liked his stuff. I really liked him when I was an atheist, but I still like him now, although I don't like some of his act. Back then, I would say, "He's someone w

My post last night was a bit of irreverent humor. But, that was nothing compared to the work of George Carlin, who died last night of heart failure. He was a favorite comedian of mine, his irreverent work didn't always make me agree with him, but it always made me laugh and think. 

I came across this gem over at therightwife. Watch it here or there it don't matter, just watch it.

When I read that George Carlin had passed away this morning I was sad. Why? Because he was a unique comic and I grew up sneaking listens to him when I wasn't supposed to. Carlin, along with other comics like Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor and Andy Kaufman and shows like Saturday Night Live, Fridays and SCTV helped shape what is my very weird sense of humor and horrible propensity to swear like a

It’s always sad to lose a member of the entertainment industry, especially one whose satirical and colorful humor aims to open the eyes of his audience about what is considered to be taboo subjects.

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years unt

George Carlin, passed away last night at the age of 71. He was an iconic comedian, rebel rouser, and resident smart ass.

My introduction to George Carlin came in 1994 during the run of his short lived Fox sitcom, The George Carlin Show. It only had 12 episodes but it was raunchy an

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.

Today, I received an inspirational message from my great friend, Vivi. I've copied and pasted it here... I really think you'll like it. Does any of this ring true for you? * * * Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

It was amazing! I just got back a few minutes ago. The show was down in Sacramento, a short drive from my home. I sat fairly close to the front, maybe 14-15 rows from the front (I was just happy to be on the ground floor; the place was packed, filling three floors). It isn’t everyday I get to see one of my heroes up close and in person. The show was great, as I expected. He’s getting a bit angrier as he grows older, but he’s just as sharp and funny. My throat still hurts from laughing.

Comedians may be the only spokespeople capable of penetrating the miasmal fog of delusion that so many of our fellow citizens wrap themselves up in when it comes to the true nature of 21st century America. Here, in less than 5 minutes, is the truth.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not
