skatha Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Time to watch Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back yet again. The nurse practitioner I work with said he was in comedy heaven. I hope comedy heaven is just playing gigs in hell and sleeping somewhere else, because I just don't think George would be happy if he couldn't stir some **** somewhere.

Terryw Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 He was really a philosopher of profound depth who used comedy to bring truth and enlightenment to the whole world. One of the few comics who really made me think about some of my basic beliefs. I will miss his insight and wit :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 http://ca.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idCAN2328397920080623 I once had the great honor of seeing George at hampton beach casino and had him address me directly outside the men's room as he trotted offstage en route to his car, looked right at me and said "Well, I hope ya had a good $hit" and....he was gone. Carlin was the man ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywhit Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 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. A Message by George Carlin: 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, 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 better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.. Remember tospend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember tosay a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember togive a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember tosay, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?
