The World Got A Lot Less Funny Today

Hey, kids. So I'm pretty bummed because my favorite comedian/philosopher, George Carlin, died of heart failure. The man was an absolute master of thought, language, and of course, comedy.

I'm lucky enough to say that I saw him in person, which is some consolation, I suppose.

Though, I didn't know him personally, this still hurts. It's hard when you lose someone who time-after-time impresses you, inspires you, and speaks your language. George Carlin was that for me and I'm sad to have lost a kindred mind.

It would be disingenuous to say that he's in a better place, because he didn't believe in such a place. But if there is, it just got a whole lot funnier.

And on that note, I'd like to end this blog with a cheer in George's memory:

"Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat!
Sixty-nine assholes, tie 'em in a knot!.
Hooraaaaaaay!
Lizard shit! Fuck!"
