| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Bye-Bye, George. |

He brought the sharp, true, often sacrilegious, funny for a long, long time. He's probably still bringing it on the other side.
 R.I.P., Mr. Carlin.* You were truly one-of-a-kind. Many a comedian has stood on your shoulders.
Here he is doing what is generally considered his most famous bit, The Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television.
And here he is, going for the gusto, taking on God and religion (which he despised, particularly after the death of his first wife in 1997). I wonder if he's having to answer for any of this stuff now. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he's still telling this same bit on the other side and God is laughing harder than everyone else.
*Thanks for the heads-up, Matt. The whole world, not just me, is holding you right now.

Man, I just watched that second video! He better hope God has a sense of humor or peace will be the last thing he's resting in right now.

I grew up watching George Carlin and considered him among the best. RIP old man.

George Carlin was the best!! Such a loss!!

He got extra blasphemous in his later years but he was always funny. I'll send up a prayer. Or down. Depending on where he landed and where he hoped to go.

You've achieved immortality in your own way, brother George. We'll miss you.
