George Carlin is the kind of spirit who makes me hope I (and he) are wrong and that there is an afterlife after all, and that I wind up in the same hall of heroes as him.

Gotta love Carlin. I still think it’s crazy that he ended up being the Narrator. Who decided that?!? I doubt such a thing could happen today, with organizations being overly protective of their “brand”.

I suppose that you could do the same thing with Cheech Marin and some of the kids’ shows that he has voiced.

This brought back a lot of memories of watching these with my kids, while secretly thinking “Sir Topham Hatt is a lunatic, and he can’t run a railway for shit. Using an entire train to deliver a single cake? What a fucking moron.”

I have to say I like the kid-friendly version better.
And that guy was a total psycho too. He sent trains to their demise just for kicks.
This reminded me of Obama’s audio for his autobiography, where he quotes his friend.
