Breaking on FOX now.
May god rest his soul.
I concur.
Many years ago as a teenager growing up in Ft. Lauderdale I was on the beach and crossed the walkway over to the Bahia Mar hotel. There was a crowd around a lounge chair at the pool and at first glance I thought people were screaming over a drowning victim. As I drew near, there in the middle was Rodney Dangerfield, slaying everybody with joke after joke, giving a free show for everybody. I had the pleasure to lean in and enjoy. Rodney was magic!
I'll be 82 this November. Right now, I'm into what is known as the golden years. That means you go to the bathroom five times a night. That's the golden years. And when your toes outnumber your teeth. That's the golden years. When the daily double is prune juice and an enema. That's the golden years.
They say when you get older, the first thing that goes is the mind. I say they missed by three feet.
The golden years. And when you piss in your pants and you think you're coming, that's the golden years, too.
If anyone out there has any ideas on how to live longer, send them to me. I'd appreciate it. Please include your name and phone number in case I want to contact you.

I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Springfield Ma in a city facility that is magnificent.
My favorite comedian is gone.
My favorite joke of his:
"Ya I met a girl in a bar and she told me she was a world traveler, Then she told what a trip cost, and I said lady, we live in two different worlds!
PING to ALL to enjoy!
You made us laugh.
May the angels lead you into paradise.
The world just got a little bit darker.
May God Welcome him Home and Comfort his family and friends.
The prince of one-liners. The king of one-liners has been, and always will be, Groucho Marx.
He was kind, had a fantastic sense of humor, and enjoyed the opportunity to talk to his fans.
I'm so sorry that he's passed on, but I know that God will welcome him home.
With much respect.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Sam Kinison: “You remember that little thing we had about 30 years back called, uh, the KOREAN CONFLICT? Yeah? So why don’t you tell me how come we didn’t go in there, cross the 38th Parallel and blast those rice eaters back to the Great Wall of China, and nuke them back to the Stone Age!! Say it! SAY IT!!!”
Rodney Dangerfield: “I'll tell ya why! 'cause Truman was too much off a p***y to let McCarthur go in there, and blow out those commie bastards!!”
"Yesterday I tried to button my shirt, the button popped off"
"Then I picked up my brief case for work, the handle fell off"
"I get to the office to open the door, the door knob fell off"
"For the rest of the day, I was too afraid to take a piss"

"This was invented by my friend Albert Einstein. Great guy. Made a fortune in physics."
Rest in Peace, Rodney. Long live Thornton Melon.
In 1995, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected Dangerfield’s application for membership because he failed to execute “enough of the kinds of roles that allow a performer to demonstrate the mastery of his craft.”
Dangerfield established his own Web site and his fans used it to express their indignation. The public reaction prompted the academy to reverse itself and offer membership. Dangerfield declined.
“They don’t even apologize or nothing,” he said. “They give no respect at all — pardon the pun — to comedy.”
RIP!
