Saw this on the news just a bit ago, He was in some of my favorite movies and his *Stuff* routine was the best! RIP http://www.voanews.com/english/Enter...6-23-voa12.cfm | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

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.

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

RIP George, you were so right on may topics... | Given his well documented atheism, I don't think there are gates in his future. LOL
