Obscenely Funny - RIP George Carlin

This just in: George Carlin Died this Morning.

I most remember Carlin for somehow managing to be indecent without being obscene - an ironic and rewarding assessment on my part, because when I told my parents as much, and they gave me the "parental eye-roll", I referred them to my good friends, Warren E. Burger, Harry Blackmun, Lewis F. Powell, Jr., William Rehnquist, and John Paul Stevens.

Apparently, the Supreme Court had my opinion [438 U.S. 726 (1978)] before I did. If you ask me in a social setting, however, I'll tell you that they are merely my predeccessors. (Hey cmon dude, I don't get girls with my looks).

For those of you who don't know about this, Carlin is perhaps most famous for a comedy routine ("7 Words You Can't Say on TV") in which he managed to be so profane that the FCC, and in turn the Supreme Court, felt obligated to intervene. The routine is below, if you're interested - but I warn you not to listen to it during hours in which children are likely to be proximally close to you, or the FCC might come after you, too.
