[Brazelton] RIP Abe Vigoda

[Dave]

ABC is reporting Fish is dead. Damn it. I love that guy.

 

[Bubble181]

Well darn. He was pretty old, so not terribly surprising, but still a shame.

 

[Celt Z]

Are we sure this time?

 

[Cheesy1]

Are we sure this time?

I was about to say, I had to go and make doubly sure because this has been hoaxed so many times over the years.
Rest In Peace, good sir.

 

[Dave]

Are we sure this time?

Yeah. This time it's for reals.

Fish can finally get that sorely needed nap he has wanted all this time. May we all live so long and healthy a life as Abe's.

Man, how can you argue with sense of humor? The page itself is down, though. I think it's getting hugged by the internet.

 

[WasabiPoptart]

It was bound to eventually be true.

Unfortunately, after Yogi Berra died, I knew it was just a matter of time before we also lost Abe Vigoda, because my mind constantly confused the two of them.

 

[PatrThom]

He seemed like such a nice guy.

I imagine that Abe Vigoda had to be secretly brilliant at chess, and that all these years he was just continually beating death at it. Looks like he finally lost one.

That sounds like the plot to a good story...in case any of the writers on this forum (hack or not!) want to take up that challenge.
Or it could be a reddit WP.

First thing I did when I saw this was check the website.

It was always a treat to see him pop up on Conan.

It feels like my childhood favs are dying out left and right. Shatner and Takei next? Take Mark Hamil and Harrison Ford while you're at it. Dammit.

You hush. Or else they'll hear you and take Erin Gray and Pamela Hensley, too.

I think Mark Hamill is contractually obligated to not die before Episode 9 is done.

Otherwise they'd have to Oliver Reed him into the finale, and nobody wants that.

But... Aaron Ramsey didn't score this weekend.

But... Aaron Ramsey didn't score this weekend.

On the pitch. He did get married in 2014 so there's a chance his scoring might be a bit different this time.

 

[Gruebeard]

That sounds like the plot to a good story...

Abe and Yogi's Bogus Journey?

Conan's tribute.
