I think there are quite a few banned words that Mr. Carlin missed. But that's all I'll say. :)

He came out with two subsequent routines which expanded the list. But the original is still a classic.

I do believe that John McCain's wife would agree with you, but who's really keeping track, right?

I just knew this was a tribute. Well played. I feel he would have approved, somehow.

Billy, If you knew anything about the routine, you would know I was quoting Carlin -- it's a line from that routine.

LOL There you go with that condescending attitude. Guess you're just a natural.

Billy, only you could come onto a board, insult me, try to smack me down, and then be shocked when all I do is point out the ignorance of your comment.

Here's the difference between what you said and I what I said:

a) you tried to make a personal content about me

b) I pointed out how you didn't get the joke

You remind me of the neighborhood bully who expects no one to hit back. Of course, you are the neighborhood bully who tries to pick on people 2 times their own size.

I haven't ever once gone on this board giving you a hard time. I have no idea why I am suddenly the object of your affection -- maybe you and gasket should get together and compare notes.

Best to you...

... 2 times their own size ?

That'd be Carle, not Carlin. As in ...

The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle.

Sorry, someone mentioned Thomas and Friends and the Carlin connection, and now I'm stuck picturing Billy as our resident cranky coccinellid.

I've just come to admire your condescension. I had no idea you were doing it on purpose. I thought it was just your style. I'm impressed, but certainly not looking for a relationship. Happy to go back to ignoring you.

Good idea, Billy. I love you, but you are losing this fight. Retreat, regroup, and live to fight another day.

Well, motherfucker is a derivative of the word fuck, so we can cross that off the list...

I am gonna miss him. He was a counterculture icon, a comedic and English language genius.

And he is probably screaming at anyone who, in the land of the living, is saying he "passed away". ;-)

RIP George...thanks for the smiles and laughs.

George Carlin really was a comedy genius. what an amazing wordsmith. so much of his stuff is so funny even many years after he originally performed it. thanks for the many laughs, George.

Thanks for the tribute. I'll miss George Carlin. The world seems just a little more sterile and tinny without him in it.

They should put the list on his tombstone.

I talked to Carlin a couple times. Though I thought I was sounding like a dweeb, he was a nice guy to me -- not the cranky bastard that you might expect.

In his entire half century of side splitting comedy he always maintained his edge and was always on point with the most absurd behaviors of the human herd.

Thanks for the tributes.

I love one of his more recent routines I saw on HBO-- I think-- wherein he lambasted the phrase "God Bless America". So apropos given the hysteria after the Rev. Wright sermon.

Carlin was one in a million.

Carlin was a lot more than his "word list"... it is interesting how funny and how intelligent he could be using the words in the title of this post and how extraordinarily difficult it is for others to do the same with the exactly the same words.

Easy there, Seaton.....

Curling is the Game of the Gods for some.

Infinite... in its complexity.

Infinite patience... to master it.

The ice.

The stone.

The drama.

Bullfighting. On ice.

And then there's the brooms.

Those are just fun. Where else can you make that kinda money for sweepin' up? And get to shout things like.... "No!... No!... No ! ..... HURRY! HURRRRRY! HAAAAARD!"

And George Carlin is STILL dead.

I saw him every time I could on TV because of his brilliant mind in spite of the drugs.

But then, as Hillary said, "They're just words."
