My thoughts on George Carlin passing away: first thing that comes to mind: Funny, made you think sometimes, likes to make waves. Ornery, crabby, hated stupid people and he seen them everywhere. He kicked ass and made me think while I was growing up. Next to Vonnegut and Doug Adams passing on, I'm running out of childhood heroes. I know that he was old but he is gone and tom Arnold still lives? This is bullshit.
