LOS ANGELES — Rodney Dangerfield (search), the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82.

My kid spent a very long time in the hospital after his birth. Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles. We saw several actors, including Dangerfield. I was in the elevator with him on several ocassions. He is (was) the ugliest SOB I've ever seen. A 35lb head on a 90lb body. It was awful. Yea, fine, he was sick at the time.

Still sad to see the man pass on tho'.

Why do you think he don't get no respect, no respect at all?

Even as a kid I got no respect. I once got lost at the beach. I asked a cop to help me find my parents. I said, "Sir, sir, do you think we'll find them?" He said, "I don't know kid, there's so many places they could hide."

Bye, Rodney.

Bye, Rodney.

He made me laugh quite a few times. It's too bad he's gone. We all have to go sometime though. He'll be missed by many.

Rest in Peace Mr.Dangerfield.

I remember using his line and tugging on my tie on several occasions. It's a shame to see him go, though after months in a coma, it was better for him.

My mother-in-law. For years I wouldn't kiss kiss her face, I ended up kissin' her ass!

'Bye old friend. Bet you get some respect where you're going.

He definately got beat with the ugly stick, fell outta the tree and hit every ugly branch on the way down. I rather liked him, though. It's terrible that he's gone, seems we're losing a lot of greats in the past year or two. *sigh* Guess we all go sometime, but this just sucks.
