George Carlin is dead!

I was gonna write a little epitaph, incorporating the various epithet used in his Seven Dirty Words (yadda yadda, I like that title better). But then I didn't want to actually use a bunch of them, so I settled on the minor humor of using epitaph and epithet in the same sentence (I had to look BOTH of them up). I couldn't decide which was funnier, properly used or reversed, so I went with proper.

Who can forget his timeless role as Rufus in the "Bill & Ted's" movies? That was my idea of George Carlin for the longest time, till I saw him doing comedy, probably all coked out, on tv and had a real eye opener. Edgy and brilliantly funny, he delivered some quality humor consistently. And it's all in the delivery.

I hope his tombstone at least has Fuck engraved on it somewhere.
