I'm very sad. Rodney will now get his respect.

I've wondered that, myself. But this 3 went in 2 days, so I would guess it was a real "going in threes" deal, unless, God forbid, another goes this week, then I suppose it'll be a set of 4....

Aw gee...I dunno.

Remember Rodney's cartoon movie, "Rover Dangerfield" (the dog who gets no respect?) How about his rap/comedy song "Rappin' Rodney?"
"I played hide and seek when I was three. Why, they wouldn't even look for me...I'm gettin' old, I could go any minute. I got a kidney shaped pool with a stone in it. Steak and sex, my favorite pair. I have 'em both the same way, very rare..."

The woman in the shower from Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Psycho" was Janet Leigh, mother of actress Jamie Lee Curtis (Jamie's father is Tony Curtis, Tony & Janet divorced in '62).

I like people who make other people laugh. John Kerry doesn't have to say anything to make people laugh. At least Rodney made faces.

Comedians like Rodney are well-intentioned and that makes for good memories. Peace to his family.

So long Rodney, hope you and Judge Shmells(Ted Knight) are having a cold brew right now on the 19th hole at Bushwood.

Probably didn't give much respect to conservatives. Typical HW lefty, no doubt. Please correct me if necessary.

I said great, paint my house"

RIP Rodney

Larry: Sheesh, Dad and I, we started out great. But now it's falling apart like a Chinese motorcycle.

Homer: It's so unfair. You're everything a dad could hope for.

Larry: Yeah, I tell ya, I don't get no regard. No regard at all. No esteem, either.

We'll miss ya, Rodney.

his quote just before going in for this procedure was
something like "if this goes well , I'll be out in 3 weeks, and if it doesn't, about 10 minutes".
gotta like his sense of humor.
RIP Rodney

I must say I was never a big Rodney Dangerfield fan. Just hadn't seen much of his stuff or paid attention. But here is my Rodney Dangerfield story.
Several years ago when Rodney decided to premier his latest movie, which may have been his last and I can't even remember the name, he decided to have to premiers. One was in California I think but before that he decided to have one in another town. He chose Daingerfield, TX, which has about 3,000 people and is where I am from. He chose it because of the name even though the spelling is different. Well, not much happens in Daingerfield and this was big, really big! He sent his people out to check on things and see if it was feasible. Any one from a small town like that knows if something like this happens the whole town is involved. The town officially changed the spelling of the town to his spelling for the day, declared it Rodney Dangerfield day, gave him a key to the city and had a parade. The schools let out and the bands marched. There were old time cars and clowns- the works. He had his wife were the grand marshals. At the end of the parade he made little talk in the town square and was so gracious. He seemed truly surprised that a town would go to that much trouble and that practically every town member was there. He even got a little emotional talking about it. The movie was shown in the little theater there on the square with just a few invited guests in attendance but it was and still is one of the biggest things to happen there. I think the movie was the one where he and a son go to college at the same time.

The joke I'll always remember him for:

My wife's cooking is so bad.

How bad is it?

All the flies in the neighborhood got together and fixed the holes in the screen door!
