They say bad things happen in threes. Well, lets hope the news from this past weekend is it for a while. First, Bo Diddley left, then Tim Russert and now, funny man George Carlin.

Whether or not you know it, you’ve been affected by Carlin in some way or form. From 14 HBO specials, to appearing in Kevin Smith movies or as Rufus in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” its impossible to miss the man. He was the first host of SNL and he’s appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States for Obscenity with his “Seven Words” bit.

This week’s ASMW post is in his honor…. George, the world will be a little less funny with out you.
