Goodbye George Carlin

June 23, 2008

Before I get to the subject of George….Perhaps you’ve read the news about the Abraham camp attacking Edison Miranda after the conclusion of their bout. All I’ll say about this is internet journalism is pretty piss poor and this is just another example of it. With so many free sites offering “exposure” to new writers, isn’t this to be expected? What I see on most of the websites is a plethora of guys who can’t string together a sentence, much less one that’s worth reading. Thank God for guys like Mike Matz (not Marley for God sakes), George Kimball, Budd Schulberg, and the late Pat Putnam. Once these guys are gone I don’t know who I’ll read but it won’t be anyone on a boxing site, that’s for sure.

One more thing…boxing tomorrow…I’ll be there. Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym vs. Jason Butar Butar, younger brother of kill or be killed fighter Simson Butar Butar. If Butar-Butar is anything like his brother, someone who comes to fight, it should be a good gig while it lasts. my guess is it’s not going to last more than 5 or 6 rounds because when Poonsawat hurts you, say goodnight Gracie. I’m looking forward to this show, just to get out and get amongst boxing people. A few days later, Yodsanan takes on Jimrex Jaca in Pattaya and I’m certainly looking to see if the Thai can dispose of him in a reasonable period of time – like less than 6 rounds.

Ok…about George…I don’t know why but I was surprised to hear George Carlin passed away today. Maybe I thought the tough old bird would hang around forever. I should have known…no one or no thing lasts forever, although since I haven’t been around forever I can’t really be sure.

Anyway…Georgie boy is gone but not forgotten. He’s done so much stuff over the years it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what material I liked best. I certainly liked the raw Carlin much better than the TV version. Below is a are his euphemisms for fornication – classic.
