Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 7:37 AM Genius, Legend, Pro. He's been sorely missed for years now. I tried to explain to my kids last night, but they can't get it. Hopefully they'll have some of his classics on TV so I can show them. —oh-for |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 9:44 AM Remember when we had that celebrity death pool? Remember who said Richard Pryor? Oh yeah, that was Mandee. It is sad though. He was pretty rad. —mandeemoo22 |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 1:28 PM Does this mean he won't get the Loveline co-hosting job? How about Gene Wilder? But seriously, Richard was a funnyguy. I loved him in "The Toy" with Jackie Gleason. —Mayonnaise |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 2:48 PM I never enjoyed Richard Pryor. It's too bad he died, I guess...but it's no loss to me. Am I a bad person? —OneNutAaron |

Edited Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 7:53 PM at least he died doing what he loved — Margin Walker Yeah, having a heart attack, good times. — catloaf Holy shit, Catloaf. I cannot express enough how much I love that retort. That one pushed you into comedy genius status in my book. Kudos, ma'am. By the way, I'm stealing that if I ever get such a good set up and pretending I thought of it. I hope you'll forgive me in advance. Edit: Wait, did Mandee just express sympathy for another human being? Our little girl is growing up. (Though I do miss Mandee's 'compliments,' it's been awhile). —Beat It! |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 8:04 PM I don't think Mandee was being sympathetic to Richard Pryor, she was sad that the death pool thread died and she's not being rewarded victory in that thread. She said "It is sad though." as a complete thought, then went on to say Richard was rad. grey is my name, empathy is my game. —greymatters |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 9:15 PM Holy shit, Catloaf. I cannot express enough how much I love that retort. That one pushed you into comedy genius status in my book. Kudos, ma'am. Far out dude, I just got done complementing YOUR comedic genius in another thread! And sure, I forgive you. You did, after all, copyright "Feel Good, Inc." for me--which I dragged out in your absence, I wish you'd been here to enjoy it.

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 9:39 PM Oh, don't worry, I saw (and appreciated) the "Feel Good, Inc." Catloaf™ drop when I caught up on my missed posts. Damn, we're good. Let's bask. —Beat It! |

Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 11:17 PM Can you imagine any comedian today getting away with what Richard Pryor did? ...I mean, in comparison to the times. It seems like no one wants to break as many taboos -- or maybe people are a whole lot more sensitive now than when they were thirty years ago. —Down10 |

Monday, December 12, 2005 at 9:04 AM The Richard Pryor box set is a nice gift for anyone who likes to hop on the famous person death bandwagon for Christmas. I checked it out about a year ago at the library and there's definitely some funny stuff. Dr. Drew has mentioned that he used to listen to Richard Pryor albums. —bguirk |
