In Memory of George Carlin

[dibl]

One of my heroes, George Carlin, passed yesterday. As a teenager I loved George as "The Hippy-Dippy Weatherman". His forecast was "Tonight --- dark, followed by increasing light in the morning".

George Carlin's religion was Frisbeetarianism. As George explained their core belief:

"When you die, your soul gets flung up on the roof of a building, and it just lies there forever."

I think they broke the mold when George was made.

My favorite Carlin line: "If you remember the sixties, you weren't there."

"My favorite Carlin line: 'If you remember the sixties, you weren't there.'"

where ...?


... Even though you thought it was happening "here."
(Naw, that's just the refrigerator melting ... you'll be fine ... just go with it )



He did his best stuff during that time, imo.

Yes, sad indeed. My favorite was about "Stuff". "Their Stuff is #&%$ and your #&%$ is Stuff!" Gota love that line!!

"Their Stuff is #&%$ and your #&%$ is Stuff!"

Good pull, MoonRise—I had forgotten that one. (Refer to Reply #1 on the chemistry of forgetting...).
Now, take your quote with the Zen Buddhist principle that “Man's source of misery is his attachment to things,” and we have Carlin as a back-door Buddhist. (easy, now, you guys...)

Knowing George, I wonder how he would feel about that!

Noticed above that you mention his "stuff"!

Back-door Buddhist ... Hmmm... What do you have in mind?
