RIP Leslie Nielsen.

Your acting in Airplane is one of my all time favorites.

Thanks for the laughs.

Rest in Peace.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Didn't care for his movies but he made a lot of people laugh.

Nice Beaver!

RIP Leslie.  :'(
I like a drink. You know when people say 'I like a drink as much as the next man'? Not if I'm the next man, you don't.

RIP indeed! Every time I even think about him it brings a smile to my face! I'll never forget a big group friend summer vacation trip to Gulf Shores, AL in 2004 and all the familys stayed at the same condo building. It was our turn to do the group lunch and everyone was in our condo. "Airplane" was on TV and all the guys naturally gravitated to the den to watch it. I'll never forget how much we laughed our ass off and how much our wives pissed and moaned that we wouldn't walk away from the TV and eat lunch. Screw lunch... we were laughing our asses off! How do you eat lunch under those conditions?

It would be my dream to find my personal niche (as he did with the comedy flicks he did) and make people happy and laugh. As I said before, I can never think of him as an actor in the funny movies he starred in and not smile and laugh. I am sure he would approve! [thumbsup] [wine] [clap] [popcorn] [bow_down] God bless... we all need something to laugh at. And he provided that. ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I once saw Kareem Abdul Jabbar at an airport in Lubbock, Texas.  Unfortunately, he was turning away autograph-seekers, and so it was all I could do to keep from going up to him and saying "Roger, Roger.  You've got clearance, Clarence"

You brought many smiles to my face.  May you rest in peace, you hilarious, irreverent bastard...

of course everybody knows the silly stuff he did later in his career but in another age he dominated sci-fi television in Forbidden Planet.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
