Sad day indeed.

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Well, at the very least he was the favorite comedian of many junglists, Jo-s comes to mind...

RIP - George.

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

I sent a mass text as soon as I heard the very sad news... the world has lost a very special person.

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Yup, I'm sure Joey is taking this hard.

Carlin was the s**t.

"This just in from the waffle society, Fuck Pancakes!"

R.I.P.

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...





Nuff Said.


RIP to a ingenious man

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Saw him perform in a small theater in Syracuse on my recruiting trip there to Syracuse University in 86...mind blowing and funny as f**k.
Saw him again in Vegas on the strip in 98/99....still killin' it (excuse the pun).
There ain't to many social commentares/comedians left anymore. He is deffo one of the altime greats up there with Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks.
His set up, delivery and punch lines hit hard and boy could he tell a story.
He killed it in Bill and Teds too.
A very different George to the f**ker thats still left here!

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

A true pioneer in comedy and a true inspiration for others to follow... wont be another person like him every!

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Rest in peace you witty, foul mouthed curmudgeon you! We will all miss you dearly!

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.

Will be missed and remembered

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

OMG! Wow that is a big loss..

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

I picked up "a place for my stuff" a LONG time ago with intentions in working a few samples in a mix..

after this..I like owe it to him..hahah

Re: RIP Mr. George Carlin :( Not Jungle related Iknow...

Carlin got his "2-minute warning"

I could recite EVERY George Carlin HBO Special, line by line, word for word... I read his books "Brain Droppings", "Napalm & Silly Putty" and "When Will Jesus Bring the Porkchops"

I totally recommend anyone to pick up his material, especially his 1970s stuff - It is TIMELESS

we lost a brilliant person yesterday.

Comedy Central or HBO should just run Carlin specials all day long in memory.

According to George Carlin ...

"I'm a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I've been up linked and downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!

I'm new wave, but I'm old school and my inner child is outward bound. I'm a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive and from time to time I'm radioactive.

Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelope. I'm on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I've got no need for coke and speed. I've got no urge to binge and purge. I'm in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I'm a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!

I've got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can't shut me up. You can't dumb me down because I'm tireless and I'm wireless, I'm an alpha male on beta-blockers.

I'm a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built-to-last! I'm a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pretty maturely post-traumatic and I've got a love-child that sends me hate mail.

But, I'm feeling, I'm caring, I'm healing, I'm sharing-- a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I'm gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.

I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the "F" word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore--no soft porn.

I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I'm toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical miracle. I've been pre-wash, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband capacity.

I'm a rude dude, but I'm the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I've got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don't snooze, so I don't lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I'm hangin in, there ain't no doubt and I'm hangin tough, over and out!"

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.


Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

- George Carlin
