Rodney Dangerfield, R.I.P.

Completed the Triple Lindy this afternoon. Since we already had our probituary two weeks ago, I'll just say that, even though I wasn't expecting any more Rodney material on this side of the grave, I'm a sadder man.

*Now* does he get some respect?!

[Stevo]

It wasn't easy, bein' him.

But FINALLY, he gets some respect.

(hat held to heart, if I had a hat)

Oops, crosspost. (Dueling Steves.)

Rodney Dangerfield made my dad laugh. That was hard to do.

Local (miami) played up his "I get no respect" line, but y'know, he could actually play different characters. Caddyshack vs. Back to School.
And while I'm hardly going to put Back to School on a top ten liberatarian films list, he did play a real, successful businessman, managing to get thru a bunch of pointy-headed professors (well, Sally Kellerman's head wasn't pointy, her blouse was) the old-fashioned way....hard work and bribery.

Here's to you, Rodney. Ya made me laugh.

And hats off to Jack Roy!

"I?ll tell ya why! ?Cause Truman was too much off a pussy to let McCarthur go in there, and blow out those commie bastards!!"

Somewhere in heaven Ted Knight is getting his balls busted.

"You don't lie to me, you lie to girls."

Sage advice which has served me well through life so far.

Overheard at the gates of heaven:
?Hey, Wang, I hear this place is restricted, so don?t tell them you?re Jewish, okay??

"What is this place, the dance of the dead? Hey Ringo, take some lessons!"
