This is my favourite quote of his



Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

I liked George Carlin, we need people like him. Well not him per se, because obviously he is dead.

I used to love watching his old stand up on HBO. I suppose they might do some re-runs now. Never did see the seven words you can't say on TV skit though.

Time has once again gotten away from me. I had no idea he was that old. Saw him in some hall or other in Cupertino. He ws ace. I shall miss him, but I have his cds so I'll get by.
