I love his comedy. I'm very sad...

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

I am also sad.

What I thought of today, though, was that, in fact, he knew he got respect. Any decent English student would know that "I can't get no respect" means "I get respect," due to the double negative.

Bob, perhaps we can have just a free-for-all pun smackdown in his honor?

Edited because I spelled "know" "no" (! What the heck? My typos are getting worse)

I'm amazed he lived to 82. He's looked pretty sickly for a while now.

I shall fall asleep to Caddyshack tonight, in his honor.

I give him respect.

I shall always remember him with a smile. [Smile]

P.S. If you watch Back to School, check out his son's girlfriend. It's Dax from DS9.

Which Dax from DS9?

Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :

There is only one Dax. [No No]

I liked him because he whipped himself more than he lashed out at others.

He was the best butt of his own jokes.

Man, first Janet Leigh, and now Rodney. It's really true - they do go in groups.
