Yeah, another non-hockey blog – so sue me!

Sorry, I’m just getting into the right mindset to say good-bye to George Carlin. George died this morning at the age of 71 – an age I’m sure he wouldn’t have trusted back in the 60s. For you young’uns who aren’t familiar with him, I’m sure you can track him down on YouTube – and it’ll will be worth your while. For George, no subject was taboo, no word was taboo … even the seven deadly words. He brought a conscience to comedy and his social commentary bit hard.

So, farewell George and below are some of your more memorable quotes and comments … you will be missed. “May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.”

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

And, finally, to Scott Kallita’s family, our thoughts go out to you.
