Actor Harvey Korman died today. He was 81, Mr. Korman suffered from a rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago. He’s known best for being on the Carol Burnett show but I liked him best in Blazing Saddles as “Hedley Lamarr”.

What’s next - is he going to keep her in a basement for 24 years and father her 7 children? Now that’s a freaky story. Every time you think you’re in a strange family, read the news. I know it makes me feel better about some of my loony kin!
