George Carlin is probably one of the reasons my sense of humor is so demented. I have enjoyed his standup since I first saw it, sneaking into the living room as a child late at night to "see whats on" - I'll admit it - I was hoping for boobies....He is one of the few comics who got funnier every year, instead of going stale. He made it okay to laugh at the tactless, and raunchy jokes that everyone loves to hear, but have to pretend they're not amused when they're heard, depending on the company. He attacked children, and religion - and loved to offend the ones who took him too seriously, and I loved to watch.
I'll miss him, along with many others I'm sure.
