Probably the greatest comedian of all time has passed away today. At a ripe age of 71, he died this mourning of heart failure. He was dirty, but he was a genius. Able to tear apart society, language, and everyday life, he commentated on life in general. He is known (but not just) for his "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television" routine, and his "imponderables", just things in life that make you stop and think for a second. For instance: "Why is it when it's us, it's an abortion, but when it's a chicken, it's an omlette?" "In prison, before they give you a lethal injection, they swab your arm with alcohol!" "If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?" "If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?" "Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?" "When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts" and you put your two cents in . . . what happens to the other penny?" "I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?" Those are just a few snippets of his vast legacy of work that spans nearly fifty years. He has won five Grammys, awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the "American Comedy Awards, and he was to be the honoree of the "Mark Twain Prize for American Humor" at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. He was that great. A comedian for the thinking man, and a unique philosopher, he will be greatly missed. Especially by me. I will make a special signature this week in his honor this week. Anyone is free to put it in theirs as well. You don't have to credit me either. If your a Carlin fan, use it. If your a Carlin fan, or interested in him, check out the Wikipedia Article on him. R.I.P. George Carlin. |

What is the difference between a duck?

He was amazing. funniest thing is that prior to being a comedian he was fired after working as a TVMobile Radio Van driver after taking the Van to New York to buy pot. That was funny as hell. He was truly a great and he will be missed by the comedy world. |

Christmas is back again

I'm afraid i dont even know him. There are just to many faces to remember. And sure people die and of course no one wants to see their maybe funniest best actor leave the world. Anyway, i have following Norwegian news about people who die one after another. It is both sad, because you seen them on the television atleast. And have had some entertaining by watching them in action. Anyway, another great loss always puncture the scene. |

As a rare instance, I will now invoke the seven dirty words not to be heard on television: <BEEP>, <BEEP>, <BEEP>, <BEEP>, <BEEP>, <BEEP>, <BEEP>. Thank you and rest in peace Mr. Postal Conductor
