He didn't.  Nor did a kid who watched the Columbine shootings.  I wish I could reproduce Carlin's reaction to the hoax, you'll find it at

Carlinish style. Dead give-aways it wasn't Carlin:

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep ins ide of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

And no cussing.

This could be like the "Robin Williams" apocryphal post that went around.

I listened to George on a radio talk show the other day and his is now just a cynical little old man.

Sad really as in his day, from the "Hippy Dippy Mailman" to his standup routines, he was the best!

He is now just a shell of his former self. Still kinda funny, but more just cynical.

Oh well, he's old and old fashioned in his ways just like me. Just down a different  fork in the road..........

Well, I wasn't sure.

But I liked the message :-(

Especially no cussing.  If the paper has gone one for at least three paragraphs and he hasn't used one of the Heavy Seven, it ain't Real Carlin.

.

Oh, and Carlin is *MUCH* more cynical today--less funny, IMHO, but he reached his peak explaining our "exit strategy" for Vietnam. "We're leaving through Laos, Cambodia and Thailand..."

.

Ah, the good old days--when we were engaged in an unwinnable war for dubious reasons and had no idea how to get free.

yeah Robb

Didn't sound like Carlin to me

Like the Robin Williams email of a few years ago.................

I didn't know Carin's stuff that well. How embarrassing!!

You guys are too good! Thanks Random :0)

My oops!

Hee hee

Tina..just a hint.  ALWAYS run stuff like that by www.snopes.com.  It's a pretty good source for internet hoaxes and such.  I got one, again, the other day for little Amy Bruce who is dying of lung cancer and involved with make a wish and so on.  Seems it's another hoax.  You were smart to let people know at the top that you weren't sure.

In my business we use "appeared" and "seemed" a lot..keeps egg off our faces....LOL.

The true author was Dr. Bob Moorehead, former pastor of Seattle's Overlake Christian Church.

Seventeen members of Moorehead's church have accused him of sexual assault. They were underaged males.

He resigned soon after the allegations were made. An internal investigation by the church concluded he had indeed molested the members.
