Paying Respect
To The Man That Got None

Rodney 'Love Is A' Dangerfield

sniff sniff

November 22, 1921 - Rocktober 5, 2004

Never had a man who looked so deranged and mad googly-eyed entertain millions upon zillions of people the way that you did Rodney (Emo Phillips doesn't count). You only appeared in less than 20 films, but every time yer ugly head popped up on screen, you had us in stitches and Ace bandages. Sure, Caddyshack and Easy Money are amongst yer finest of the fine, but it was yer work as Thornton Melon in Back To School that I'll always remember the mostest. Can you name another movie where Oingo Boingo play a party, Kurt Vonnegut plays himself, Sam Kinison does his Sam Kinison thing x 83, and William Zabka is even more of a prick than he was in The Karate Kid? And here's my personal favorite thing-a-ma-bob that you ever uddered from yer loud mouth: [Tall and Fat clothing store commercial] Are you fat? When you go jogging, do you leave potholes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw you peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK!'?

And yes, we'll forgive you for Meet Wally Sparks, Little Nicky, and co-starring in Ladybugs with Jackée.

And yes, he really did have a board game!

Now if we can only find a cure for this dying shit that keeps a happenin'!! This is supposed to be a site about life and thighs, not death and taxes!!
