Title: RIP Richard Pyror
Post by: AugustWest on December 11, 2005, 02:41:05 am: One of the funniest, if not the funniest, people of our time has gone.

He had my eternal gratitude for co-writing Blazing Saddles. But he did so much more, from his standup, to his work on SNL, to his great buddy movies with Gene Wilder.

I hope you're getting some pussy in heaven, Richard.

At least he was appreciated in the second chance he got at life.

Now THAT'S genius right there.

Not really, but he was a charlatan and a hero, and neither side would've been as good without the other.

Live on the Sunset Strip

He's been missed for a lot longer than a week now. Rest in Peace, my man. Anyone remember his last movie?
