G.e.o.r, G.e, O.r, G.e, O.r...

It was never supposed to end.

Kevin has a fitting tribute up to Mr. Carlin with several videos and links upon links of blogsospheric farewells, including one to General J.C. who is running a continuous loop of hours and hours of the stand-up great's material.

I wanted to add a personal note.

My dad, another George, took me to see Carlin at Stanbaugh Auditorium in Yougstown back in 1975 when I was a teenager. We had outstanding seats. Third row, right on the center aisle -- and I spent most of the time in that aisle, on the floor clutching my stomach, rolling with uncontrolled laughter.

It's one of my fondest memories of George, both of them.
