Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits (My Tribute to George Carlin)

Well, for the few of you who may not know, last Sunday, we lost one of comedy's greats, George Carlin. On the internet you are going to find tons of articles about his life, accomplishments, etc.

However, I just don't think we need another article highlighting the 7 dirty words, Supreme Court case, rehab, circumstances of his death, etc.

What I do think is needed is a tribute to the man. He was an innovator in stand-up comedy and has went on to inspire thousands of comedians, actors, actresses, artists, writers, music, and even lowly bloggers such as myself. He managed to usually find a balance between having you both laugh and think. He will be sorely missed. I've been watching his comedy specials because I would at least like to think that Carlin would want his huge fanbase to celebrate his life and career.

So, I have composed several of my favorite quotes, video clips, pictures, and even managed to find my favorite Carlin show for all of you here.

Here we go...

"Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat! 69 assholes tied in a knot! Hooray! Lizard shit! FUCK!" - (Carlin's Suggested Sporting Event Chant) from Carlin on Campus

"Reminds me of something my grandfather would say. He'd say "I'm going upstairs to fuck your grandmother". He was an honest man, and he wasn't going to bullshit a four-year-old." - Carlin on Campus

"They are going to ban toy guns, but they are going to keep the fucking real ones!" - What Am I Doing in New Jersey

"Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen, that we passed chickens in goodness. Name 6 ways we're better than chickens. See, nobody can do it! You know why? ‘Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No, you don't see a chicken strapping some guy into a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about come home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen, 'cause chickens are decent people." - Back in Town

"Here's another bunch of ignorant shit: school uniforms. Bad theory. The idea that if kids wear uniforms to school it helps keep order. Don't these schools do enough damage makin' all these kids think alike? Now they're gonna make them look alike too? And it's not a new idea. I first saw it in news reels from the 1930s, but it was hard to understand 'cause the narration was in German!" - You Are All Diseased

"Here are some musical vermin whose mothers we wish had had medical plans that included abortion. These singers who think they're so special they only need one name. Bono, Sting, Jewel, Tiffany, Prince...what a crock of shit, get a fuckin' last name, would you please? I have a two word name for you: Pretentious Cocksucker. How do you like that? Bono, Sting...it's not bad enough the music sucks but with no last name you can't find out where they live to throw a fuckin' bomb through their window." - Complaints and Grievances

"One guy, about a month ago, was given three consecutive life terms, plus two death penalties. How the fuck do you serve that? Even David Copperfield can't do that shit. In order to do that, you'd have to be a Hindu." - Life is Worth Losing

"This conversation is bound to turn up. Two guys in a street meet each other and one of them says, 'hey, did you hear? Phil Davis died.' 'Phil Davis? I just saw him yesterday.' 'Yeah, didn't help. He died anyway. Apparently, the simple act of you seeing him did not slow down his cancer. In fact, it may have made it more aggressive. You know, you could be the cause for Phil's Death, how, do you live with yourself?'" - It's Bad For Ya

"I call him Governor Bush because that's the only political office he's ever held legally." - It's Bad For Ya
