I've got an autographed picture. Rest In Peace, Rodney!

I'm getting older as well. Last week I bought a grave site. The sales guy says, "There goes the neighborhood!"

I saw my ex last month. She told me she missed me. I was kind of shocked, until I heard her mutter, "With every single bullet."

Rodney, you gave me a stand up act at work, and parties. Thank you.

I've never even seen Caddyshack. I know that's weird, but I haven't. Still, there was just somethin' about Mr. Dangerfield. Seems like the kind of guy you'd wanna have a beer with.

He was one of the greats.

Hopefully he is in a much better place now. And not in any pain.

3 classic 1-liners...

I was so poor growing up. If I wasn't a boy, I'd have had nothing to play with.

During sex, my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.

It's been a rough day. I got up this morning put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

My prayers go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace and find eternal respect.

I added these to my database of quotes for my blog today. I run quotes on the top randomly from a little flatfile database. I think these are my favorites:

"When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my mother." - Rodney Dangerfield
"When my parents got divorced, there was a custody fight over me. ... and no one showed up." - Rodney Dangerfield
"When I was 3 years old, my parents got a dog. I was jealous of the dog, so they got rid of me." - Rodney Dangerfield
"If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all." - Rodney Dangerfield
"When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them." - Rodney Dangerfield
"A girl phoned me the other day and said 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home." - Rodney Dangerfield
"I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet." - Rodney Dangerfield
I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself." - Rodney Dangerfield - Rodney Dangerfield
"I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people." - Rodney Dangerfield - Rodney Dangerfield
"The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest." - Rodney Dangerfield - Rodney Dangerfield
"My uncle's dying wish - he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair." - Rodney Dangerfield - Rodney Dangerfield
"I'm so ugly - My father carries around a picture of the kid who came with his wallet" - Rodney Dangerfield
"I was such an ugly kid - When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up" - Rodney Dangerfield
"Life is just a bowl of pits." - Rodney Dangerfield
"My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too." - Rodney Dangerfield
"My mother never breast-fed me. She told me she liked me as a friend." - Rodney Dangerfield
"I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table." - Rodney Dangerfield
Brilliant stuff. Thought he was just F***ing brilliant.

Will be missed.

I didn't even know he passed away until last night on one of the late night shows where they paid tribute to him.

Whether you loved him or hated him, he was a comedic great that will never have an equal. He made many people laugh through his stand-up act and through his movies.

With respect, RIP Rodney!

:)

Usually I hate one liners, I can read a text of them faster. But he was good. Not my favorite, but a legend nonetheless.
