  • Frank: Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?

    Jane: He's Caucasian.

    Ed: Caucasian?

    Jane: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three.

    Frank: Awfully big moustache.
    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

        • The whole point was that he came up as a conventional actor, and was typecast into a lot of standard tight-assed authority figure roles. When he started making fun of his own persona late in his career, that was genius.

          Chevy Chase, OTOH, is a comedian who tried to become an actor.

          • I have no problem with a "straight guy" in comedy. He just didn't do it for me. I have a sizable DVD collection but I can't think of a single flic I have that included him.

            Obviously it is a matter of personal preference as the consensus seems to be he was great. Hence my

                    • Just a reminder to everyone to hold a mirror in the face of their more obscure 2010 celebs to verify they are still breathing.

                      The 2011 Sign-up will be posted next week.

                            • I have lots of great memories of Santo. Helluva player -- a clutch hitter, strong fielder and a real gamer. In his prime, he was considered a near-equal to Brooks Robinson as a fielder, and was definitely the better hitter. His lifelong battle with diabetes took him too soon, but he kept a positive attitude even as they had to amputate, one by one, his legs.

                              RIP, Ronnie.
