Momma said wonk you out

RIP GEORGE CARLIN.

Sometimes, when a great man dies, you say something like "he's gone to a better place." As the clip below shows, I don't think that's an appropriate eulogy for Carlin. So the best you can say is that his untimely exit makes this place just a little bit worse.

I was going to link to a YouTube of "Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo" but I couldn't find one, unfortunately.

Too bad - seemed like the appropriate Carlin routine to mark his passing with.

Wow, this is the first I've heard of this. Goodbye George, I grew up with your stuff that my father played for me, probably long before he should have. You'll be missed!
