His response to recieving the Mark Twain Award was: "Tell his people to get in touch with my people!"

Fitting in so many ways!

His albums always kept me in stitches.

Just read the warning label on Class Clown:
Warning: "This record contains Seven words you can never say on TV. Hearing it could infect your mind, curve your spine, and lose the war for the Allies."

I just remembered: when I signed up for the forum the space requiring "Occupation" was filled in as "Foole"... a Carlin reference. Added th' "Tinker" later.

While much of what he said over the years I don't agree with... I can tell you he was right on with his view on "ecology"...IMHO.

Last nite NBC ran the first episode of <span style="font-style: italic">Saturday Night Live</span> in tribute to George Carlin (who hosted that inaugural episode). Pretty cool thing to do, I think.
