A Moment Of Silence, Please...

...for one of the people who helped me along my Jaded journey, comedian George Carlin, who passed away On Sunday of heart failure.

You can read the full story here.

And in case you've been living in a vacuum and never witnessed his brilliance, I give you, Mr. George Carlin:

WARNING- not safe for work AT ALL!













His comedy will live on forever, reminding us not to take this world, or ourselves, or the Catholic Church too seriously. To question the status quo. And to laugh and laugh and laugh.

*smooches...so sad that I never got to see him in person*
----------
gosh; I'm really not feelin' the circle of life right now.

tomorrow we'll be back with the "Weekend Update"

Dude was on of the funniest comics I've seen. And all he really did was tell the truth. Nothing is funnier than real life.

@homer- that's what I loved about him; he'd pull back the curtain and be all in your face with it.

@irene- I know, right!?!

@12kyle- he was funny; these videos are just the tip of the iceberg

@muze- I was right in the middle of writing a different post when someone told me he died. I was like WHAT?!?! It just killed my mood. The tribute seemed fitting.
