Was just gonna post this… RIP GC. You made me laugh so many times although lately your comedy was more preachy and angry than funny. One of my favorite Carlin bits was when he was at Carnegie Hall in 81 (or 80, I can’t remember) and he was talking about food. He said in talking about lobsters and crabs, “anything walking at my sidways with big pinchers, my first instict is to STEP ON THAT FUCK!!” lawlz!! ---

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. ---
