And if you're headed South, you can use one of my chits at Fiddler's Green on the way down.

Least I can do - you made it possible for my mother to get to sleep those 478 long, lonely nights during 68-69 when Dad was in Vietnam.

We'll miss ya Johnny.

Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance... In Memoriam.

It seems Johnny was popular in the Blogosphere. He's getting a lot of mention. I wonder if any of his successors will enjoy the same level of notice when they shuffle off this mortal coil?

Johnny Carson, RIP from Pajama Pundits on January 23, 2005 5:33 PM

I remember the thrill of occasionally being allowed to stay up late and watch The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson was always funny, even (perhaps especially) when one of his jokes bombed. His wit had grace, style, and class... three elements Read More

God, I'll miss him. He was, IMHO, a cheerful, friendly, helpful, *benevolent* smartass, and that's the best and rarest kind. Was a USN officer, too. Requiascat in Pacem.

And another icon of both my parents and my generation exits stage left. I wish Johnny Fair Winds and Following Seas. And tonight's edition of the Tonight Show is having a *tribute* to Johnny, with Ed McMahn as a guest amoung others.
