Shit Piss Fuck Cunt Cocksucker Motherfucker and Tits

So George Carlin died.

Carlin was perhaps the greatest stand-up comedian ever. His love of wordplay is unmatched except possibly by William Shakespeare (and I'm not even kind of joking with that.) He was a hero of mine.

I bought one of his greatest hits albums "for my dad" when I was maybe twelve and promptly appropriated it for myself. I listened to so much Carlin in my formative years that I can, to this day, pretty much recite "Baseball and Football" word for word.

If you've never heard any of the man's stuff, do yourself a favor and go download some right now. Seriously, go ahead. I'll be right here, listening to Occupation: Foole.

We entertained ourselves on long drives with memorized pieces of his. Our parents loved it. (cough, cough)
