Some things you just flat don’t wanna hear…
I walked into the bedroom this morning after playing with Aidan - having a good time… and Greg looks at me and said, “You’re not going to believe this. George Carlin died.”
I am in shock… and so saddened. I love George Carlin. The guy was out on the edge as far as humor and politics and worldview - but no one could make me laugh like him when I was a teenager - and when he was on Real Time with Bill Maher, I made sure to tune in. I didn’t necessarily agree with his politics, but he’s nothing if not entertaining to watch. I mean, cripes, she and I spent a bit of time in high school laughing like retarded hyenas to George Carlin HBO specials. I laughed so hard - I couldn’t believe what the guy was saying! Watching him definitely shaped my sense of humor.
The HBO special this came from came out when we were in high school - if I recall correctly, I went to Jennifer’s house to watch it on her TV, and I laughed so much I went out and bought the cassette (Parental Advisory). I laughed so much at this bit, it was ridiculous. (NSFW, duh.)
