George Carlin is dead

[wetstereorebel]

He'd probably give us all a swift kick in the nuts (those not possessing nuts will get a violent punch to the vag) for talking about his death as much as we have. I simply can't help it. The man shaped the way I think about things from a very early age. I always thought of him as more than a mere elder statesman, he was more like the cranky (yet utterly brilliant) grandfather I never had.
This is more than just a sad day for comedy, or America. This is a sad day for free thinkers. EVERYWHERE.
