He was my favorite comedian of all time. I've seen him at 8 different performances, all in the front row :D

I even met him once, at the second show I went to in Wisconsin Dells. Earlier in the show I bought a t shirt with 2,000 dirty words and phrases on it, so I brought it to him and asked him to sign it. He told me " That shirt is black, it won't show up" I just told him it was for the memory, so he did it anyway. In person he was really kind, and actually wasn't very intimidating. A very comfortable guy to be around. He will definitely be missed by this Wisconsinite

Joe, if you're out there, make sure he gets to wherever he's going, and make sure to bring the bat.

He didn't go anywhere:

No, you know where the sanctity of life came from? We made it up. You know why? 'Cuz we're alive. Self-interest. Living people have a strong interest in promoting the idea that somehow life is sacred. You don't see Abbott and Costello running around, talking about this shit, do you? We're not hearing a whole lot from Mussolini on the subject. What's the latest from JFK? Not a goddamn thing. 'Cuz JFK, Mussolini and Abbott and Costello are fucking dead. They're fucking dead. And dead people give less than a fuck about the sanctity of life. Only living people care about it so the whole thing grows out of a completely biased point of view. It's a self serving, man-made bullshit story.

Otis, don't start with me on Mr. Conductor. I never said he went to an imaginary place like heaven. He always said he wanted to be reincarnated so he could fuck teenagers again though. So I wish him luck on that!

I was really sad when I heard about this =( It's quite a travesty. I shall drink to Mr. Carlin for sure.

Oh well, I guess true to form we should say his life was worthless, he came about randomly, disappeared into nothingness, and there's no point or benefit in mourning him except to make ourselves feel better.

Pretty much yeah.
But please feel free to celebrate what he was and the laughs he gave us all.

Hat's off to that!
Very few comedians make me laugh, and sadly, the ones that made me laugh the hardest are all dead. Carlin, Dangerfield, Hedburg, and Hicks.
