I've been watching Uncle Buck this morning and found out it will be 13 years ago tomorrow that we lost one of the world's greatest entertainers: John Candy.

Just wanted to say "I miss John Candy!"


God bless you, John!

P.S. he was Catholic, too. :)

Oh I loved John Candy, what a great guy.

I was sad when he died...

[Didacus]

Has it bee nthat long already!

Wow.

John Candy was truly one of the first class acts, on and away from the camera. I still miss him.

PS: He was not only Catholic, but CANADIEN too!

Uncle Buck and Trains, Planes and Automobiles are my absolute favorites.

ME ME ME! I do!!!

But Uncle Buck has got to be one of my absolute favs. Love it.

"Here's a quarter. Why don't you go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face"

Myles (whispering): "He's cooking our garbage!"

"You have more hairs in your nose than my dad"
"How nice of you to notice."
"I'm a kid. That's my job."

My favorite parts are anything with his smokey car... *KABLAM!!!*
"Ever hear of a ritual killing? Eheheheheheheee."

And when Shanice kicks the door and it hits him in the head and he goes flying through the air... "OWWWWWWW"

Uncle Buck...that was a good movie. So was Planes...etc.

A funny John Candy story: in Super Bowl XXIII, the 49ers were losing to the Bengals with three minutes left in the game, and they had to go 92 yards for a touchdown. They get in the huddle on the first play of the drive, and Joe Montana looks way down to the other end of the field, and says to his teammates, "There, in the stands, standing near the exit ramp. Isn't that John Candy?" The 49ers then drove 92 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

I love Cool Runnings - what a great movie!

Our Father, who art in Calgary, Bobsled be thy name. Thy kingdom come, gold medals won, on Earth as it is in Turn Seven. With Liberty and Justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie. Amen.

Uncle Buck and "planes,etc." were both HILARIOUS!

"Wanna see my hatchet? Been known to circumcise a gnat with it...wait...gnat, Bug...is there a little connection here?"
