A moment for the late Mr. George Carlin gang.   Cry  I'd write out the seven words in tribute here, but we are a family organization.

For those that are interested, and have access to an XM Radio, or their online service...channel 150(XM Comedy) will be doing an all day tribute to Carlin, on Wednesday.

I met him once when I worked at the Taj Mahal. He was a good guy as well as an extremely clever comedian.

Glad I got to see him live at Waterloo Village a couple years ago.  I always enjoyed his work.

Let us remember his stuff (which he no longer needs a place to keep), and the seven words you can't say on television (and all the addenda), as Mr. Carlin, like the football quarterback, also known as the field general, marches into enemy territory, and achieves the goal of the baseball player: to be called safe at home.
