THE BUMRUSH

Comedian George Carlin died on Sunday of apparent heart failure. Carlin was best known for his comedy performances and albums, but here at THE BUMRUSH, we'll always remember Carlin as the wise time traveler Rufus in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.

Rufus was awesome and he'll be missed.

Rufus: Hi. Welcome to the future. San Dimas, California, 2688. And I'm telling you, it's great here. The air is clean. The water's clean. Even the dirt... is clean. Bowling averages are way up. Mini-golf scores are way down. And we have more excellent waterslides than any other planet we communicate with. I'm telling you, this place is great. But it almost wasn't. You see, 700 years ago the Two Great Ones ran into a few problems. So now I have to travel back in time to help them out. If I should fail to keep these two on the correct path, the basis of our society will be in danger. Don't worry. It'll all make sense. I'm a professional.
