A Sad Day for Comedy

[Cythrosi]

I only ever enjoyed Dane Cook's original half hour special on Comedy Central.  Any other material I've seen him do I don't find all the funny, no matter who it's from.  It's like he took the way he presents it and went overboard to the point that it kills any funny the joke could have ever had.

It just depends on what material he's using.  Some of his stuff makes me roll around on the floor laughing, and some of it I could do without.

Carlin dying was a real shock in our household.  He might hav been before our time, but he's been funny since day one.  He always had new material and he actual got funnier as he got older, as opposed to just fading into obscurity.  It almost makes sense that he would go quickly as opposed to dying a slow death.

Oh my gosh, George Carlin? That guy is awesome! I can' believe he died....

I first heard about him a while ago in a book and it had some of his quotes. Here are some of them for those that haven't heard of him:

-"I think, therefor, I am..... I think."
-"I wonder why prostitution is illegal. Why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away?"
-"If God really made everything, I'd say he had a quality control problem."
-"I don't mind a little government regulation, but requiring people to wear helmets during intercourse is going too far."
-"I am not a vegetarian, I only eat animals that have died in their sleep"
and
-"I say live and let live. Anyone that can't accept that should be executed."

We'll miss you George. You were a worthy comedian. *salutes*
