Oh, god help us!! get ready for the "grieving" incoherent blackberry eulogy from Lohan. I'm sure he must passed her on some hallway, which of course means that in her coke created reality he's like, the father she never had.

Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.
Mulder: Why are you telling me that?
Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.

I think the great philosopher Lohan said it best.
"grieve not. Rather, BE ADEQITE."
so so true.

Igor: What is this?
Dr. Frankenstein: Schwartzwald Kirchetort.
The Monster: [off-screen] MMMMMMM!
Dr. Frankenstein: Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent.
Igor: Who are you talking to?
Dr. Frankenstein: To you. You just made a yummy sound, so I thought you liked the dessert.
Igor: I didn't make a yummy sound, I just asked you what it is.
Dr. Frankenstein: But you did. I just heard it.
Igor: It wasn't me.
Inga: It wasn't me.
Dr. Frankenstein: Well, now look here. If it wasn't you, and it wasn't you...
The Monster: [off-camera] Mmmmmm!
You made us laugh, Peter! Rest in peace!

RIP old feller. But for the record: I, for one, do NOT love Raymond. I resent the assumption.

Umm, relegating Peter Boyle to being "the dad on 'Everybody Loves Raymond,'" is a smack in the face to his brilliant career. He was so much more than that one character.
31. Posted by Dean on December 13, 2006 11:35 AM
Boyle was so hilarious on Everybody Loves Raymond; he's one of the main reasons that the show is one of my favorites now. RIP.

From Lindsay Lohan's Blackberry:
It's an emotional time in my life, the rain is chalky and Raymond's dad is lifeless.
This man taught me what it means to be a welder, connecting lives with acting and concern.
His charm was respected by the community of wolves in which we feed, and I write this so my soul can fly with penguins.
Please weep for his family , smile for his orphaned children, and shrug at his knowledge of this crazy ride we call pandamonium.
Al Gore be his guide, Mr. Romana his jury, and our lord and savior Jesus as his life mechanic.
Call me if you can hear my thoughts.
- Lindsay Lohan

BigJim - that's just wrong man. The only thing funny about death is when it's chronicled in the annual Darwin Awards E-Mail that comes out ever year.
For those of you who say that you don't like Ray Romano, you must at least give props to Peter Boyle, because, as Frank Barone, Peter was the funniest, most irreverent person on television. Peter Boyle was a true acting talent, and we'll be begging for more actors like him after getting JLo, LiLo, Jess, and the rest of today's ilk shoved down our collective throats for the next 10 years.
Peace to you Peter. God rest your spirit & bring you home. After all, your the next headliner on His big stage.
P.S. TCLTC.

Papa - that's got to be the funniest post I've seen about LiLo in a long time. Your mind is that of a true genius. I am humbled by your presence.

ELR was one of the lamest shows ever. unforgivable. if that stingray had returned my calls, this would have happened months ago.

I was shocked when I read this at IMDB. Almost as sad as when Johnny Carson died. And to #9--I thought the same thing.

Damn, several people beat me to the Lohan punch, but as a consolation, I enjoyed every one of the references.
Yeah, this sorta blows. He was awesome. That X-Files episode of his is one of the Top 5 ever, in my opinion. And he'll always be Frankentstein to me.
Anyway, thanks for laughs...

God decided that Peter didn't love Raymond enough. And so He smote him.
56. Posted by BigJim on December 13, 2006 1:29 PM
Or maybe Peter loved Raymond a little too much, and some homophobic rednecks from Odessa smote him.

Ray Ro-moron should thank his god on bended knee tonight, because the ONLY reason he's now rich and will continue to be via re-run residuals is because of the genius that was Peter Boyle.
DAMN this sucks.

I just pissed myself for the first time since reaching adulthood. Well, for the first time while sober, anyway.
and to #33. wedgeone
While I agree wholeheartedly that Boyle was a genius both comedically and dramatically, you're obviously younger than 32, because "the funniest, most irreverent person on television" was Archie Bunker/Carroll O'Connor. Frank Barone was an incredibly amusing watered-down version.
Peter Boyle was great in EVERYTHING he ever did.
RIP Peter, thanks for sharing!

He had a great carrer long before raymond and was a close friend to john lennon. CAN LINDSEY SAY THE SAME?? all those no talent pieces of shit out there today. Where are the actors who can act and handle thier drugs?? amatures...

Yet another great actor gone, if these top shelf people keep dying hollywood is going to go under permanently since real actors like Mr Boyle are the only ones keeping it afloat.
73. Posted by urwrong on December 14, 2006 5:34 AM
Papahotnuts...too freaken funny. And if Peter Boyle could read that, he would probably be cracking up too. Thats as good a salutation for Mr Boyle as any.
