George Carlin … RIP

Scott:

One of my favorite all time comedians has died of heart failure at 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.

He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in 1989 — a testament to his range from cerebral satire and cultural commentary to downright silliness (and sometimes hitting all points in one stroke).

In honor of Mr Carlin..lets talk about your favorite George Carlin moments or lines from over the years..We will miss you…

Ram Man:

Comic Genius George Carlin has had his last curtain call and left us this past weekend. Carlin who was best known for the famous “seven words you can’t say on TV” and “Stuff”. George had a unique way of putting a comic spin on current world events. Carlin was also a fine actor appearing in such Geek faves as Jersey Girl, Dogma, Car Wash and Bill and Ted’s adventures wouldn’t have been as fun without the “most excellent” Rufus. George Carlin died at the Santa Monica Hospital at the age of 71 from heart failure.   Mr. Carlin, the world isn’t as funny without you in it sir…You will be missed!
