I don't think I ever knew of anyone who could have so much fun with words. R.I.P. The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I can't help but wonder; did he get his two minute warning? "Two minutes! Get your shit together!" This is devastating to me. He was the greatest mind in comedy. Even at 71 he was sharper than I am at 42. He'll be missed. R.I.P.

"Now, you might be wondering why I would even suggest that someone can affect the manner and style of his death. Well, it's because of a mysterious and little-known stage of dying, the two-minute warning. Most people are not aware of it, but it does exist. Just as in football, two minutes before you die you receive an audible warning: "Two minutes! Get your shit together!" And the reason most people don't know about it is because the only ones who hear it are dead two minutes later. They never get a chance to tell us. But such a warning does exist, and I suggest that when it comes, you use your two minutes to entertain and go out big. If nothing else, deliver a two-minute speech. Pick a subject you feel passionate about, and just start talking. Begin low-key, but, with mounting passion, build to a rousing climax. Finally, in the last few seconds, scream at those around you, "If these words are not the truth, may God strike me dead!" He will. Then simply slump forward and fall to the floor. Believe me, from that moment on, people will pay more attention to you."

A big loss. I wanted him to keep cutting through the world's BS past the age of 100. R.I.P.

It is one of the best shows. And I've been watching the HBO comedy channel all day, showing all of Carlin's specials. I needed the laughs this week.
