Happy Birthday George Carlin


"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done." -George Carlin

May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008

You were the best there was, and probably the best there ever will be.

3. Told more truth in his lifetime than (nearly) everyone else combined.

4. I pray that Joe Pesci has sent George to a better place where he can be free to
worship the sun.

17. Apart from being a brilliant comedian, he has to be considered
one of the most prominent philosophers in America at the end of the twentieth century.

The day he died America's average IQ dipped a bit. RIP, Mr. Carlin.

23. My signature line has been there from the start.... finally, Jake and I agree on something

Carlin was the absolute best.


The closest thing to him today is MAYBE John Stewart.... if he wants to be.

25. I saw him in Vegas a few years ago
Gawds, he was funny. Even when he was picking on fat people (like me), he was funny.
