    Default Don Knotts (Barney Fife) - R.I.P.

    http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/02/2....ap/index.html

    LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Don Knotts, who kept generations of TV audiences laughing as bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" and would-be swinger landlord Ralph Furley on "Three's Company," has died. He was 81.

    Knotts died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, said Sherwin Bash, his friend and manager.

    Griffith, who had visited Knotts in the hospital before his death, said his longtime friend had a brilliant comedic mind and wrote some of the show's best scenes.

    "Don was a small man ... but everything else about him was large: his mind, his expressions," Griffith told The Associated Press on Saturday. "Don was special. There's nobody like him.

    He was a true genius in comedy. He will be missed but his humor will live on for generations.

    Friday was a very sad day in the Marine Corps. He was one of the most respected and well know drill instructors of all time.

    We will miss you dearly, and have fun in that big boot camp in the sky! (Maybe the will let you have your bullet there! )

    Yes. I enjoyed his work. But you see, those epitaphs and obits almost never say anything about the real person, just his/her work.

    I remember that Knotts was really knutts.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
