Just so I don't appear nitpicky, the headline was changed.

Happy Birthday Abe Vigoda! Hope you are partying it up in the afterlife.

He was friends with Weird Al's parents, too, wasn't he?

I know how you feel. It's hard to let go. I saw him today, too. I see him everyday. He's always with us, watching over us.

assegai		2008-02-24 11:52:34 PM

Someone dosen't get it. Fail

simian04		2008-02-24 11:52:37 PM

Awww man. I saw Mr Abe on Conan O'Brian recently. Conan found him under the audience bleachers. Have a look. Abe shows up just a hair after the 5 minute mark. Enjoy.

/Lovely seeing you

I'm sure its on that wiki to check out but the point of the "would have turned" joke aside from the fact that he's old is that a magazine declared him dead like 20 years ago.

simian04		2008-02-24 11:56:54 PM

Oh dear baby jesus, how foolish one feels when commenting without rtfa first. Well, good thing I forgot to add the Conan link. That's what you get, foolish submitter. No link for you!

Let's hope he learns how a Caps Lock key works sometime soon.

Abe Vigoda's ghost would like a word with you.

Abe Vigoda is alive. But all of TV is a repeat.

semiotix		2008-02-25 12:08:17 AM

The best part about growinthings's post was the faux-hyperlink he added to INTERNET MOVIE DATA BASE.

It's the little things that set the masters apart from the rest of us.

Had to check the status page, when he goes, I don't want no wikipedia article tellin' me.

Someone should really tell Abe that it's okay to go into the light.

Sanctum		2008-02-25 12:18:13 AM

Ahh, to fail is one thing. To fail in bold and caps lock... that is dedication to the fail-art.

mug_costanza		2008-02-25 12:20:42 AM

You're not very good at this, are you?

/probably shouldn't be talking...?

Did you know that Abe Vigoda's anus is shaped exactly like a lightning bolt? Little-known fact!

He's not really dead. As long as we remember him.

Good Burger FTW

/ImageShack is dead, too

Master of the Flying Guillotine		2008-02-25 12:28:34 AM

He was delicious!

jiaxiaobo		2008-02-25 12:30:20 AM

I'm smothering Abe Vigoda with a pillow right now so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

CaptainFatass: Did you know that Abe Vigoda's anus is shaped exactly like a lightning bolt? Little-known fact!

actually according to snopes, the lightning bolt-shape is a myth that started around his time on harper valley PTA. the actual medical condition called "nakedsharpandperfect" puts the shape into a kind of mix between a menorah and bea arthur.

WFern		2008-02-25 01:18:11 AM

Serious question: what will Farkers do when Vigoda really does pass on? The man's 87 years old... it won't be long.

Will he suddenly be "alive?"

ace in your face		2008-02-25 01:27:49 AM

I_Hate_Iowa: It's my mom and grandma's birthday today too!

above you will see i posted its my birthday but its also MY grandmas birthday. which makes that a weird little coincidence....
