He said them anyway, just not on broadcast TV.

I read this on yahoo this morning. Not a good way to start my Monday. If I would've known sooner I would've worn my plain black t-shirt to work this morning.

To all those who wish he were still alive though, a few of his own words: "What are you gonna do? Play with your **** for another 30 years?"

Ahh.. I'll miss you George.

EDIT: I just realized that censoring his quote goes against everything he stood for. So, there.

My 'edit photos' says no; but because there is no "sometimes" option.

I think he just wanted to get a good seat to watch when the planet shakes us off like a bad case of fleas.

Yeah, my wife woke me up this morning with the news.
I immediately wanted to say "S***, P***, F***, C***, C*********, M***********, and T***"

Man, that guy was great. He'll live on in many memories.

I read this too...

I loved him.. and the car name riff was funny as hell!!!

Just a few of my Favs...


"Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning."

"The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept."

"Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?"


RIP George

Given his well documented atheism, I don't think there are gates in his future. LOL
