Mr Nielsen, I Most Sincerely Regret that I never got to call you Shirley. ☹ > [@Quercus\_alba](#): > > Whoa–just realized we lost Peter Graves, Barbara Billingsley, and Leslie Nielsen all this year. Is the “Law of Threes” complete, or is Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s life in danger? :eek: Hey, you try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes… ---

Surely there wasn’t been another movie that strung a bumch of cliches together like _Casablanca_ until _Airplane_. Thanks for the laughs [del]Shirley[/del], Leslie ETA: If they make a movie of his life, the lead should be played by Jim Parsons. ---

> [@](#): > > The last thing he said to me, “Doc,” he said, “some time when the crew is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to get out there and give it all they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don’t know where I’ll be then, Doc,” he said, “but I won’t smell too good, that’s for sure.” RIP ---

Pnemonia? That’s no way for a man to die. A parachute not opening… that’s a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine… having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that’s the way I wanna go! ---

> [@Stranger\_On\_A\_Train](#): > > At least O.J. is in prison, though no doubt he’ll escape in a _Fugitive_-inspired train derailment, followed by a long pursuit in which he searches for the mythical one-armed man. Not one man on this force will rest one minute until he’s behind bars. Now, let’s grab a bite to eat. ---
