[Jennifer Walters]

He played Iceman in those films. Smokey was the stache himself.

But still R.I.P.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Snowman...

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Was it Snowman? I thought it was Iceman? Oh, well. Same damn thing. They are both cold.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

And technically, the Stache played The Bandit. The Smokey in the title has been long gone.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Iceman = Top Gun
Snowman = Smokey and the Bandit

I saw this thread and thought it was about Jackie Gleason, whose been dead. Sorry to hear about Reed.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I knew him, he used to go to my church. He was a real nice guy.

 

[Nirvana]

R.I.P.

 

[Immortalfire]

He was Cledus/Snowman


RIP Jerry

I thought this was gonna be a Chris Tucker thread.

 

[The Batkilt]

I watched EdTv last night and it reminded me of how awesome Burt Reynolds was, then I seen this and thought he had passed on and it seemed eery...

I know Adam Sandler isn't everyone's cup of tea but I loved The Waterboy, and Reed was hilarious as the coach.

"Bobby, can you do that for me every game?"
"Coach, not only will I do it for you, I......yes, yes, I'll do it for you."

Dammit. I should have accessed IMDB.

Ah well. Praise my intentions, will you?

That reminds me of the Bob Saget roast on comedy central last month when the guy said about Norm MacDonald how he does a great impersonation of Burt Reynolds in that he's not making movies anymore either.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

I was going to say, Smokey died a long time ago.

 

[UA-Archangel]

I was going to say, Smokey died a long time ago.

I bet he died in a forest fire.

Kids, don't play with matches.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I'm surprised anyone after 1985 remembers that Smokey, UA-Archangel.

 

[Immortalfire]

Actually despite what Smokey said, most forest fires aren't started by people. Lightning is the usual culprit.

RIP Jerry Reed.
