Whaaaaaatttttt??? :sad: :sad:

We just lost one of the greatest comedians of our time.

Let's hope he gets some respect in Heaven. Rest in Peace. :sad:

Some classic one-liners:
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met!

If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.

When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.

A girl phoned me the other day and said .... "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home.

I drink too much. Last time I gave a urine sample there was an olive in it.


I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.

My wife's jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.


The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

My uncle's dying wish - he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair.

Yeah, Back To School is a great movie.
R.I.P. Rodney.

I have to admit, the one-liners made me laugh again.
So :up: to the man!

Ohh this is the worst lookin' hat I've ever seen. Ya buy a hat like this I bet ya get a free bowl of soup. Ohh it looks good on you, though


I still use this classic line from "Caddyshack" (albeit, I substitute "hat" for whatever is appropriate).

Dangerfield may have claimed "no respect", but he received tons from adoring fans. Even the Academy ultimately asked him to be a member (after originally saying no).

He was 82 and had been ill off and on for a while - I knew the end was near.

While I will miss his humor tremendously, he left behind many great movies and TV bits for us to enjoy for ages.

Sadly, I heard they are remaking "Back to School". It had Dangerfield's blessing - but there's no way this remake will ever be as good as the original. Without Rodney, it just won't work.

Have fun in heaven Rodney! I hope to see you there when my time comes!

:hug:
 
I saw Rodney do his stand up back in something like 1982 at the Chateau DeVille in Framingham MA...funny man. So sad.
