A pioneer indeed

You were the first comedian of your generation to bridge the gap to younger ones. I will miss you.

1. I don't think there is any entertainer who has brought as many smiles

as Mr. Rodney Dangerfield has.

2. "Call me sometime, when you have no class"

One of the best lines from "Back to School"

Rodney and I shared a birthday (11/22) and a skewed sense of humor. I'll miss him. :cry:

3. My favorite story about Rodney

from the obit in the Star Trib.

In 1995, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected Dangerfield's application for membership. A letter from Roddy McDowall of the actors branch explained that the comedian had failed to execute "enough of the kinds of roles that allow a performer to demonstrate the mastery of his craft."

The ultimate rejection, and Dangerfield played it to the hilt. He had established his own Web site ("I went out and bought an Apple Computer; it had a worm in it"), and his fans used it to express their indignation. The public reaction prompted the academy to reverse itself and offer membership. Dangerfield declined.

"They don't even apologize or nothing," he said. "They give no respect at all - pardon the pun - to comedy."

4. We'll miss you, Rodney!

"Hey, I'll bet you get a bowl of soup with that hat!"

"Hey Judge, $1000 says you miss that putt!"

"Now THAT'S what I call Marine Biology!"

"Moose, Rocko...help the judge find his checkbook!"

"Yo Vonnegut...fuck YOU!"

And his JOKES!

"My father wasn't very bright. He worked at a bank, they caught him stealing pens."

"My wife is such a bad cook, the flies chipped in to build a screen door."

And on and on and on...

Rodney you're the GREATEST and you will be missed!

:cry: :-( :evilfrown:

8. In Heaven, every hat will come with a free bowl of soup.

No stones in the kidney shaped pools in Heaven.

Angels will line up to see Rodney's Longfellow, and there will be Shakespear for everybody!

From the sounds of his last interview with Howard Stern, replayed today, he went the way he wanted, peacefully and oblivious. He didn't believe in the afterlife and said that he was only truly ever happy when he was creating.

One of the last great ones.

RIP

9. This just shows how dangerous being fat is.

You might only live to be 82... no respect at all.

We will miss you Rodney.
