  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Wow sad to hear. He was very funny and ahead of his time. The man broke a lot of rules and was very off color. But most of his routine was based on his personal life. I remember how he used his the incident when he burnt himself up while free basing in his comic routine later. Pretty amazing how he was able to make light of that situation. He also did some very funny films in the '70's and '80's with such stars as Gene Wilder and John Candy. In later life he was sticken with MS. May he find peace now!!

WOW. I was listening to him just last night on XM doing a bit about when he got burned. I was laughing out loud even though I'd heard it a bunch of times over the years. He was still relevant, through all the years.

He will be missed.
