R.I.P. Clown Prince, Leslie Nielsen

WE all have something in common
all of us,

Naked Gun touched our hearts and funny bones
at the same time.

All of us.

Canadian, Leslie Nielsen, is no longer with us.

The masterful comedian best known for his slew of 80s and early 90s spoof movies, back when spoof movies meant something. Everything from Airplane, the pitch perfect Naked Gun trilogy and Spy Hard, to his later work in the Scary Movies, Nielsen did comedy with class...and like no other.
He was taken to the hospital with pnemonia,
and it was said that he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

I cannot say enough about him, he was the standout definition of legendary.

Unique, brilliant, warm, charming.
He once said "doing nothing is very hard to do because you never know when your finished."
I agree with those words of wisdom.

I shall drink to you, good sir, and have a Naked Gun Marathon sometime this week!
I promise.

Now, if you please, a moment of silence, and respect...for Leslie Nielsen.
