Dang, I’ll have a draft in your memory George. He was wheelchair bound last I saw. Big guy.
RIP.
Good memories.
I first saw him in a stupid commercial for Getty gasoline.

I loved how Cliff Clavin convinced me that beer makes me smarter. That was a good show at times. RIP Mr. Wendt.
Rest in peace, NORM!
Some of the best Norm Peterson quotes from “Cheers”:
“What’s shaking, Norm?”
“All four cheeks & a couple of chins.”
“What’s new, Normie?”
“Terrorists, Sam. They’ve taken over my stomach & they’re demanding beer.”
“What’d you like, Normie?”
“A reason to live. Give me another beer.”
“What’ll you have, Normie?”
Well, I’m in a gambling mood Sammy. I’ll take a glass of whatever comes out of the tap.”
“Looks like beer, Norm.”
“Call me Mister Lucky.”
“Hey Norm, how’s the world been treating you?”
“Like a baby treats a diaper.”
“What’s the story, Mr. Peterson?”
“The Bobsey Twins go to the brewery. Let’s cut to the happy ending.”
“What’s going on, Mr. Peterson?”
“A flashing sign in my gut that says, ‘Insert beer here.’”
“Whatcha up to, Norm?”
“My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall.”
“How’s it going, Mr. Peterson?”
“Poor.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“No, I mean pour.”
“Women..... Can’t live with ‘em.... pass the beer nuts.”
“What’s going down, Normie?”
“My butt cheeks on that bar stool.”
“Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?”
“Alright, but stop me at one....make that one-thirty.”
“How’s it going, Mr. Peterson?”
It’s a dog eat dog world, Woody & I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear.”
“What’s the story, Norm?”
“Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer.”
“Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?”
“A little early, isn’t it, Woody?”
“For a beer?”
“No, for stupid questions.”
“Hey Norm, how’s life in the fast lane?”
“Don’t know, can’t find the on-ramp.”
Norm: My ideal weight , if I were eleven feet tall!
Good comedic actor, good man. RIP Mr. Wendt!.
Coach: “How’s life treating you Norm?”
Norm: “Like it caught me in bed with its wife.”
He also played a Marine on MASH who put a 6 ball in his mouth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7CbDcipuc
My sympathies go out to Vera.
One of the absolute best Norm scenes was Carla announcing that her cats just had dozens of kittens. Carla offered a free beer to each person who adopted a kitten. Norm walks out of the Cheers backroom with not just a kitty in every coat pocket; there were also kittens hanging on all over his coat, front and back. Hilarious!
A wake will be held at the Hungry Heifer.
Original Rodney.
Funny line though.
:^) Yeah, although I think Rodney worded it better, “my shorts are Milk Bone”.

[Frasier, Sam, Cliff and Norm are stranded out in the desert. Norm is missing]
Cliff Clavin: You don't suppose some wolf dragged him off in the night, do you?
Sam Malone: Maybe we ought to take a look for him.
Dr. Frasier Crane: Not me. I don't want to meet the wolf that could drag off Norm.
