Harry Anderson has passed
« on: April 17, 2018, 09:16:48 PM »
Harry Anderson of Night Court fame has passed away.  He was found dead in his home in Asheville, NC.  Sixty-five years old, he had been ill recently.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Well dang. Like him even before he made it big on Night Court. I remember sitting in my college dorm room, sipping on a vodka and lemonade ... uh, Dr. Pepper while watching his stage act on a "Best Of" stand up comics videotape and yukking my head off. Seemed like a damn nice guy in real life, too.

RIP.

Loved both Night Court and Dave's World.

I was sad that he hadn't had much work lately (at least that I knew of.)

I'll be opening Season 3 of Night Court to start watching. (I am slowly acquiring the whole series, one season at a time.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

He had true talent.  Made it look effortless and he was truly hilarious.   Night Court was always funny.  He a John Larroquette made a great comedy team. 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Art Bell passed on also.  Not sure how he ranks with the others.
