  1. Surely the master of deadpan comedy. I wish I could find a clip of his speech at the British Comedy Awards from a few years ago in which he claimed that the Canadian Army recruitment poster during WWII said "Pull My Finger".
    I miss him already.

  2. Thing, I don't know who this "Surely" is but she is NOT the master of deadpan. Leslie gave me the best advice, ever. "Like a blind man in an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through this one". RIP BRO

  4. Comedy would have lost a national treasure, were it a nation.
