Yep, I agree that all the guys and gals we grew up watching on TV and the big screen are dying off. :sad: Sorry to hear about Carlin, he was a funny dude. RIP George. Wonder if he will be allowed to say those 7 banned words now.

Growing up, I had an album of his and it was in the same stack as Cheech & Chong, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby. The man made me laugh, but he also made me think about a lot of stuff that was going on. He'll be missed.:sad:

As for those 7 words? Heck, I heard most of 'em on South Park the oether night. My how the world has changed. I kinda miss not being able to hear those words on television.

I had a discussion about the golden years with a customer.We agreed you should retire when you are 20 then go back to work when you turn 40.Then you can enjoy your kids. He also said there is nothing golden about a new pain every day.He still has one thing golden though his PEE. Ha Ha
