"shitpisscuntfuckcocksuckermotherfuckerandtits": You say it like a secular prayer...

George Carlin, 1937-2008.
Seven words you STILL can't say on Television.

He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!

Religion is sort of like a lift in your shoes. If it makes you feel better, fine. Just don't ask me to wear your shoes. And let's not nail the lift to the natives' feet."

My childhood heroes are starting to die off, first Stan Winston(I never went to Jr High school without a copy of Fangoria or Starlog)and now George Carlin. I guess this is all part of that "getting oldder" thing.
