Rob, minor typo on the death date, there.

To quote the man: "I know that... now."

Saw something on 'The Early Show' this morning that made me laugh...

He declared that his epitaph should be "Let 'er rip (Brap)"

I'm sad that Leslie Neilson is gone. But unlike some other great talents that have left us in the last few years, he'd had a long and -very- fruitful career. And left us with a lot of laughs.
And his epitaph is a Crowning Moment of Funny/Awesome! Right up there with Johnny Carson's - "I'll be right back!" ^_^

Editorial cartoonists the world over gave their own tributes to Neilson over the past few days. If only they had remembered different jokes...

Bit strange I know to dig this back up again.*
But I thought I'd point to a visual confirmation of the epitaph mentioned above:
(Fair warning - link is SFW but has banners to NSFW stuff)

He really -did- get "Let 'er Rip!" on his tombstone!  XD  *SALUTES*
