Carlin: Likin' the Vicodin

[3v3+Z]

This should maybe go in the News & Articles section, but I'm not special enough to start threads there, apparently.

Anyway, George Carlin is checking himself in to rehab. LINK! (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6759327/)

Why bother with rehab when you're 67? You're going to die in a few years anyway, you might as well enjoy them.

Good point. I mean, who the hell lives past 70?

[5InchTaint]

Who the hell would want to live past 70? Alzheimers, organ failure, brittle bones that snap like balsa wood, incontinence, senility, all your friends and loved ones already in the ground. The only thing you have to look forward to is death. Shit, I'd rather drown in my own vomit while passed out in a drug and alcohol narcosis.

[5InchTaint]

That's just me, though. Ever cheerful!

It's like the old Dennis Leary (I think) bit where he's talking about cigarettes taking the last 10 miserable years off your life. Well Denny, if you're a chain smoker, the last 10 years of your life may well be miserable, whether that's 40 to 50 or 120 to 130.

I was thinking that. Maybe not so cleverly, but still...

Vicodin is like a kiss on the forehead from God.

from the experiance i've had with vic, i get fucked up for only about an hour, and its alot of fun, but afterwards its another hour of terrible stomach aches and the fear that i'm about to OD. anyways, i thought carlin was doing coke. thats what he said on tv last night.

Unfortunately, drugs are awesome and humans are not. We can never beat the drugs.

Carlin's on Tim Russert (sp?) on CNBC for about five more minutes. It'll be on again tonight at 1am Eastern.

[AndersLevant]

Are you claiming Reggie White died from drugs? I'm kind of confused.

[agent_PUNT]

reggie white died. that part i know is true.

[yugioh]

Is this true about George Carlin? What a shame.
