    I know every dies sometime but I will always remember and appreciate George Carlin for his humor, intelligence and honesty.

    And for making my nephews so happy when he played Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station aka Thomas the Tank Engine.

    He was a great spokesman for Atheists everywhere. Sad loss for mankind period.

    Oh no, I didn't realize he was in his 70s either! He just seemed age-less, despite the grays. My favorite bit of his is about how he thinks people that wear visors are morons, because who would want to wear half of a f*cking hat? RIP George Carlin!

    I really wanted to type the 7 seven words you can say but I know they would all be $^&*% in the end anyways.

    Very sad, he was a funny man with a great spirit.

    A funny, irreverent comedian that has been a mainstay for many years will be mourned around the world. I personally will miss his style of comedy. I'll pray for his family, friends and fans! I wish love to all.

    George was not a fan of euphemisms for death.

    Saying he "passed away" would not please him.

    But, like he said: "We're all f*cked. It helps to remember that."

    Oh, also, this "bad language" business on the comments wouldn't have impressed him.

    To quote the genius, there are: "Bad thoughts. Bad intentions. And woooords."

    I'm still trying to get over the loss of Jack Lemmon. Now George Carlin? Both were such wonderful gifts to the world.

    This man was a comic genius, his humor, wit, and intelligence remain unrivaled today, and in my opinion, will remain that way for years to come. I don't get choked up over any celebrity reports, but this news felt like a punch in the stomach. F#*!

    He has brought me laughter for years, even in my darkest moments, reading his books not only made me laugh out loud, but more importantly they made me think, and I cant say that of any other comedian I have seen to date.

    The New York Post said it best when they printed 'Laughter dies'.

    RIP my man, you were the best at what you did, the ABSOLUTE BEST.
