George Carlin as he was

In tribute to the late, great comic, George Carlin, here's a really old bit from the Sixties. I was only 6 years old when he performed this. He truly was a brilliant artist who made many people laugh their socks off.

Incidentally, this is one of my husband's favourite bits. He will often quote Biff Burns' Sportlight Spotlight routine.

Rest in Peace, George!

Hi Kat! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my CSA post.

The mushroom and scallion stir fry sounds like a great idea and I think I'll give it a try this weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out. Glad to hear you'll be coming by to visit again! I'll be back to read more of your posts soon.

And happy birthday!
