I read this over the weekend and thought "Oh, man, Charles Nelson Reilly died! That sucks!" Then I opened the story, saw the picture of Charles Nelson Reilly, and was like "I have no idea who that is."

But RIP anyway, Charles Nelson Reilly.

You had to grow up in the 70s or early 80s to really appreciate the genius that was Charles Nelson Reilly.

I just figured out who I pictured when I saw his name: Rip Taylor.

I remember an old ep. of Match Game where C.N.R. was trying to say "karate chop" but was so dumb all he could come up with on paper was "carrodied (sic) shot (sic)." I LOLed for like 20 min. after that one.

This one is tough for me.

When i think of Charles Nelson Reilly, I think of Match Game and when I think of Match Game, I think of growing up at my grandmothers house watching it every night with her.

She will be gone soon and when she is, it will be the first direct family member I have ever lost...and I am closer to her then any other.

It will basically devistate me.

oh well....[censored] happens.
