I've seen him live several times over the years. Great loss.

I know he had some miles on him but I was a little surprised to hear he was 71. Â Definantly some cutting edge stuff and pushed the envelope for many years.

That's what I was thinking. Â I would have guessed mid 50's

I knew he was older than I am (I am mid 50s, but I don't admit it) and the first Carlin album I got was FM and AM, and that was like when I was a senior in HS, IIRC. I kind of assumed he was 30-ish back then. If he was born in 1937, that comes out about right.

Let's put our profanity filter to the test with his seven 'words'... |expletive|, upset, |expletive|, |expletive|, Cocksucker, |expletive|, Tits .
Heh heh... 2 out of 7... I guess that's progress for you.

With all the |expletive| |expletive| we have received over the blockage of Hancock and cocktails to our dismay we now allow cocksucker - now tits is something different. We love tits on eOmahaForums - the more the merrier.
I should delete myself now. Well maybe tomorrow.

So is not blocking cocksucker an endorsement of such?

PhpBB 3.0 allows each user to decide if they want word censors on or off. Â It's a setting in each users profile. Â Add that to the reasons why an upgrade should be considered one day....

I couldn't agree more. Â I chuckled out loud, it's not something you expect to read everyday. Â It's almost the same feeling as if you heard a priest say sh*t

Ms. Big E guessed Cosby, too. Â My vote is on BB King.
I hope it isn't Cosby because we have tickets to see him at the Orpheum in March.

BB King at least controls and checks his diabetes but Cosby is just throwing down pudding with abandon.

Don LaFontaine 1940-2008
You may not recognize the name, but you surely will his voice. Don was famous for being the voiceover of about 5000 movie trailers. He died Monday from a collapsed lung.

A funny Don LaFontaine impression by Pablo Francisco.

With his ability to sound just like him, looks like Pablo Francisco could have some more work coming up. Â Sad way to get it, though.
SUSAN SZALEWSKI WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:KFAB radio talk show host Steve Brown died suddenly over the weekend, apparently as he was preparing for his Saturday afternoon show, the station's program director said.
Brown was an Omaha radio pioneer, program director Gary Sadlemyer said. Brown was national program director for station KOIL and its Star Stations affiliates across the country in the 1960s and '70s when the Top 40 format was popular. In the 1980s, he helped bring the talk show format to Omaha when he worked for the new KKAR station.
