George Carlin RIP

I am so saddened by this. What a brilliant man. The thing I always enjoyed about his comedy was the way he pointed out the flaws in the English language. Here is a great example...

George Carlin was a very rare talent.

Comedians can be hot one moment then fall into the background quickly.

George was able to stay relevant from the 60's to his last HBO Special a few months ago.

Boy am I way behind! I had no idea he was dead! 8O :l That sucks he was a hilarious comedian and I remember laughing when I first saw him on my Dads best of Johny Carson show dvds. Then I saw his stand up and loved it. We are losing amazing talented people lately aren't we?

I didn't anticipate on having a black female cat and a white male cat or I would have named them Luna and Artemis... oh well.
