I cannot believe he has been dead two years already. I still miss him. This is one of my favorite quotes of his:
"I don't like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.'" Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, "We're the So-and-Sos," take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it's unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead and join. But don't participate; it will be your death. And if they tell you you're not a team player, congratulate them on being observant." --George Carlin

My God, has it been two years?!
I miss him too and I love this quote and I totally agree.

Wonderful wonderful quote and homage!
And yes the "never join a group with a name" --I have been a fervent believer in that... Groups, labels, etc. are so restrictive, so limiting...
I remember this man as an unusually & very cool standup comedian artist, with lots of black humor.
Thanks for your nice, friendly comments on my blog, they always make me so wonderfully warm in my heart.
