My friend and I read "Brain Droppings" outloud to each other when it first came out. We laughed hysterically for 2 hours straight...the kind of laughter you never forget.

Recently, my brother gave me a copy of a CD which was one of his more recent live performances. I drove around listening to that CD for 2 weeks straight, smiling and laughing.

I'm crushed, he's absolutely irreplaceable.

that was a great article HL. Carlin was an Olbermann and a Maher fan, maybe we could have guessed that...but it was great to hear it from him.

I saw Carlin in January. I couldn't believe he was actually coming to my city, and I jumped at the chance to go see him. A coworker taped a full page article from the local paper on my office door the morning of the concert. I passed it on to the friend who invited me to go. I wish I had that now. Seeing George Carlin in concert was definitely one of the highlights in my life. Today should be a national day of mourning.

You will be missed, missed, missed George! Some of my favorites:

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"

"Atheism is a non-prophet organization."

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."

"Religion is just mind control."

"The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live."

And finally...

"I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it."

I don’t have pet peeves — I have major psychotic fucking hatreds!

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

Swimming is not a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. That’s just common sense!

Have you ever noticed that their stuff is shit and your shit is stuff?

I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade.

You can’t fight City Hall, but you can goddamn sure blow it up.

Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

There are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven you can’t say on television. What a ratio that is! 399,993 to 7. They must really be baaaad. They must be OUTRAGEOUS to be separated from a group that large. “All of you words over here, you seven….baaaad words.” That’s what they told us, right? …You know the seven, don’t ya? That you can’t say on TV? Shit, piss, fuck, ****, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.

You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.

The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.

I don’t like to think of laws as rules you have to follow, but more as suggestions.

I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front-row seat.

Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.

I never fucked a ten, but one night, I fucked five twos.

I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood.

Have you noticed that most of the women who are against abortion are women you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place? There’s such balance in nature.

So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.

Catholic — which I was until I reached the age of reason.

Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

“One thing leads to another”? Not always. Sometimes one thing leads to the same thing. Ask an addict.

The planet is fine. The people are fucked.

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, “Fuck waffles.”

Istead of warning pregnant women not to drink, I think female alcoholics ought to be told not to fuck.

The Golden Gate Bridge should have a long bungee cord for people who aren’t quite ready to commit suicide but want to get in a little practice.

I think I am, therefore, I am. I think.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

"I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick."

"Pre-suck my genital situation."

"Is that your PURSE?"
"...Yes it is,....and I have a picture in here, of your mother, suckin off an Indian!"

....There are just so many great ones.

... This just sucks man.
