Wow...

At least he made it to 71 and was working and with it right up to the end.

That guy had lines that have become etched in our culture. Not a lot of people can make that claim. He was one smart cookie.

And with my financial situation, I'll have to work to the end too. But that's okay.

G.K. is where I learned that the technical term for a belch is bilateral fricative.

He will be missed

I'll never forget his wacky weatherman forecast...


"Tonight's weather: DARK, followed by scattered light throughout the
morning....And remember folks: If you don't like the weather....MOVE."

And then there's the sports announcer:

"And here's a partial score... New York 4...."

"This is Al Sleet, your hippy-dippy weatherman, with all the hippy-dippy weather, man!"

I hear they're gonna run the first episode of SNL (Which George Carlin hosted and Joe Cocker performed) Saturday night on NBC.

That'll be cool.

I watched it when it aired. I was 14, and my life was changed forever...
all the subliminal messages they ran on the bottom of the tv...hahaha

good times. :headbang:
