Just like my brother got to witness his lifelong dream tonight, I got to witness a bit of mine. I got to edit clips from Caddyshack for the 11pm news. I don’t know if I could die happy right now, but its definitely a big checkmark on my life’s “to do list”. Actually, I didn’t even know I had the list until Lloyd Bridges died 7 or so years ago. What I wouldn’t have given for the “looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue” scene that morning. Again, more recently, Gregory Hines died, and while there was a brief clip available from “History of the World, Part I” (airing on the Bravo network tonight, btw), I think that a full sound piece of the Ethiopian Shim-Sham was in order on that day.

Since most of the people on my blogroll are, or have the potential to be, very funny people, here’s how the rest of my “circle of friends” is remembering Rodney Dangerfield:

Angry Pete
Sugar, Mr. Poon?
Wizbang
Tom

While it would be redundant to have two consecutive tribute posts to Rodney Dangerfield, might I also add here that….

THE YANKEES LOSE! THAAAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!!!

I know they’ll find some way to pull a series or two out this year, but to see them get shut out at home in the playoffs (for the second straight game, mind you) is awesome.

Oh, and I beat Pete this week in the “Meaningless NFL Pick ‘Em Pool ’04”. If my math is any better than it was last week, I’m back within 3 games, and picking up steam!
