After thinking about this for a bit, something else I've noticed about myself is that as I've developed a greater degree of equanimity toward the vicissitudes of life over the years - in other words, as fear has significantly diminished as a motivating force - I find that my tendency to respond with laughter to what most people perceive as humor has also greatly diminished. With Carlin's schtick for example, I notice that my response now is more often along the lines of nodding my head in knowing agreement with his observations than bust-a-gut laughter.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'Y')es, I agree. Smiley people are a threat.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Hagakure_Leofman', 'I')t's funny, this stuff about chimps and smiling. I saw a mccain video the other day, and his lying smile really struck in my mind. He has a hard time even pulling a smile, let alone convincing you.

Ironically enough, yesterday someone from work sent me a spam of George Carlin's "solution" to high gasoline prices:

Deport all 11 million illegal aliens.

This is grossly disappointing: not that I want illegal aliens here, or am against controls, but this "solution" is just scapegoating, pure and simple.

The US STILL consumes more oil per capita, whether one includes illegals or not.

There's going to be much, much more of this, maybe even actual persecutions and deportations, and when that doesn't "solve" the problem, the persecutions will intensify, and so it goes....


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use..... The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.....

Laugh with me, it will be the best way to remember him.

I had just recommended his comedy to a friend a couple days back, what a loss. He will never be replaced. Here is the article about his death: link

[Turlox]

He was so close to actually see the end. At least he knew what the end game was.

[3aidlillahi]

He will be missed.

Thanks for putting up some youtube videos. Now I'm spending the rest of my day watching his videos. Great.

[3aidlillahi]

Oh, and I don't think he'd like for you to say he died. More that he passed away.

[grampybone]

R.I.P. George Carlin. You will be missed by many.

[Cashmere]

Rest in peace.

Brilliant man.

[Hagakure_Leofman]

ouch! At least he kicked the bucket before armageddon! Still, he did say he was hoping it would start in New York while he was in LA so he could watch it on CNN as it 'rolled over'. Damn. I was hoping for at least 2 more HBO specials. What the fuck are we going to do now for laughs?

I guess we'll just have to carry the torch.

P.S. I always knew you were a Carlin fan Cashmere.
