    what a sad day...

    RIP Robin Williams... why is it the people who are the funniest up front are the saddest people underneath? His energy his humor will be sorely missed...I know he had some problems but who doesnt? Prayers to his family...

    I know, Ben. Sure seems that way, doesn't it?

    I believe he may have been the wittiest, funniest man of this generation.

    One of my favorites.

    Unbelievable news... Stunned to hear this.

            In all the years you never really heard anything bad about him, his problems he kept private and his joy and laughter he shared with all. One last round of applause for a great man and all the years he entertained us all. Well done !!
            To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

                One of the funniest spots I can remember. 60 minutes or someone was interviewing Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams showed up. Williams and Winters started to try and out-do the other as an improvisation...what a hoot!

                A great talent sometimes hides great emotional conflict. Mork will be missed.

                      My Wife was sent this link tonight on FB.



                      I remember decades ago when George Carlin did his expose` of the differences between baseball and football!

                      This Robin one about GOLF is right up there as well, whether you're a duffer or not!

                        If one had never seen or heard Robin Williams before seeing this clip you would swear he was from Scotland. (Well most of would perhaps not a real Scot)

                          That was hilarious, sent it out to my golfing buddies.. they've probably seen it before, but a nice memory and funny thought of a real class act of a comedian.
