I there anyone out there who feels we have just lost a comic legend? He was the first naughty comic my mom would let me see. She loved he too. SO I thought we could make a thread honoring George. Find your favorite jokes or clips from You tube. Just have fun laughing. We all know that what would made him happy. Here is my first of many George skits. youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac

A sad loss ...
ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the "seven words you can never say on television" passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.
Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.
Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, "It's Bad for Ya."

I know I'll miss him and will miss the '7 words you can't say on the radio or TV' bit.

Yeah, George was Ok for a left-wing nut job. I loved his Hippie-Dippy Weatherman, Congolia Breckenridge and Tondeleo Schwartzkopf, and I can recite the 7 words - but not here, they would get bleeped. Of course, they can't bleep: S,P,F,C,C,M,T. Actually, I think he eventually ended up with 11, but some of them are now OK on TV.
