Sad news. A funny man.

 

[jan normandale]

oh.. I'm so sorry. What a wonderful man America has lost! I loved him from the first time I saw him on The Tonight show with Johnny Carson.

 

[Athos6]

That sucks... One of my very favorites, its hard to really make me belly laugh, he cold every time.

 

[SolaresLarrave]

This is really, really sad...

Thanks for posting the news here.

Great loss.

I've seen him live countless times. Will be dearly missed!

A comic genius, if ever there were one. RIP.

Thanks, George, our Hippy-Dippy Weatherman. Tonight's forecast is dark indeed. G'bye.

Thanks George for all the fun times.

Thanks George for all the fun times.

Wonder if he packed all his "Stuff" and took it with him.

Wonder if he packed all his "Stuff" and took it with him.

probably, but no water bottle.

No, you can't take it with you, but he'll have plenty of time to go out and get more stuff!

now I know who the Carlin fans were, not many here, but a hardcore lot!

@ leicam2... "Have you ever noticed that your s _ _ t is stuff and other people's stuff is s _ _ t?"

Nice write up here

Jenny!

(Place that one!)

 

[Peter Klein]

"...and he LOVES you!"

 

[crawdiddy]

I suppose he didn't invent irreverent humor. There were others before him, like Lenny Bruce. But he certainly nudged the boundary.

He will be missed.

This one died 8 hours ago?

Shame on RFF! Anyway....I was hoping he had another 10-15 years. C'est la vie.

RIP and thanks for all the laughs George!

I liked his humour with a messege, he will will be missed.
