Whether you know him as the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman, Mister Conductor on the PBS children's show Shining Time Station or the foul-mouthed comedian whose 7 Dirty Words You Can Never Say On Television caused a ruckus in the US Supreme Court in the mid-7
Whether you know him as the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman, Mister Conductor on the PBS children's show Shining Time Station or the foul-mouthed comedian whose 7 Dirty Words You Can Never Say On Television caused a ruckus in the US Supreme Court in the mid-70s, George Carlin is undeniably one of the funniest men alive.

And he's an old f*ck.

His words, not mine.

At 70 years old, the winner of three Grammy Awards, two Cable Ace Awards, two American Comedy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award from Comedy Central has been there, done that and is content to continue bitching about it.

His sold-out Thursday night appearance at Kewadin Casino had all the elements one would expect from Carlin; foul language, disturbing visuals, uncomfortable subject matter and a general sense of bitterness towards humanity.

He is not an entertainer for the faint of heart.

They left the theatre shortly after Carlin began discussing the proper way masturbate while on the phone with your mother.

As insightful as he is crude, Carlin's often nihilistic outlook and distain for what the stereotypical American holds dear has never been funnier.

I could go into exactly what he had to say, but there is just no way I could do it justice.

Instead, I would recommend watching his newest HBO special, It's Bad For Ya, airing Saturday, March 1 at 10 p.m.
