George Carlin Dies

You know I always liked George Carlin. Of course he cultivated the aura of a cynic, but that’s just because he was such a frustrated idealist. His recurring role on the PBS children’s show Shinning Time Station, as well as in some of the Kevin Smith movies, to me demonstrate he was really just an old softy inside. I’ll miss him, he was one of the few subjects I could talk with my Uncle Terry about.

My favorite George Carlin joke (probably because I find it so easy to remember): “Little known fact: A goldfish can kill a grizzly bear. Of course it requires a substantial element of surprise.”
