And check out this blasphemy: Several people have charged that the the end of Sanford & Son was due to "too much Grady." I have to agree with another sentiment, though, and pin the demise on TOO MUCH ROLLO.

I had barely gotten over the news that Tackleberry from Police Academy 1-12 had gone to the big gun shop in the sky, and now this.

Anyway, I got to thinking, just what is Grady's legacy? I mean, just where does he rank among the most crucial of all television roles, that of the wacky, oversexed, underpaid, but friggin' hilarious wacky neighbor?

As a backdrop, let's take a look at TeeVee.org's 17 Greatest Sitcom Supporting Actors.

Not a terrible list. Mad props for including Mr. Bentley, Herb Tarlick and Chief Kanisky, but I simply cannot endorse a list that so brazenly, so spitefully leaves off Squiggy from "Laverne & Shirley."

Here's the official PaulKatcher.com ranking of top wacky neighbors.

3. SCHNEIDER, One Day at a Time

Pros: Gum-smackin', toothpick-gnawing, roll-the-cig-in-the-sleeve badass. Never met a dripping faucet he couldn't fix and always tended to Mrs. Romano, even though she was ugly as sin
Cons: Spent too many Saturday nights alone with his monkey wrench

See Pat "Schneider" Harrington's official Web site. I think he's got some pics of McKenzie Phillips doing coke.

2. LARRY, Three's Company

Pros: No man was more clutch when getting digits from stewardesses or pairs of twins. Somehow managed to meet women at the Regal Beagle, a bar with less ambiance than a White Castle restroom
Cons: Hairier than an Arab on Rogaine

This page dedicated to Larry deserves an entire PaulKatcher.com update. It's like a time machine filled with Greedy Gretchen, Larry's nude streak during a party and Larry's Love Rules.

1. SQUIGGY, Laverne & Shirley

Pros: The hair, the jacket, the voice — all man.
Cons: Spent too much time with cock-blocking Lenny. Also had an unexplainable crush on Laverne, who was hairier than Larry Dallas.

Need proof: Lenny and Squiggy quotes.

* Extreme Elvis is "An obese North American dedicated to the world of farandula." He also happens to be one of the weirdest muthas on the planet.

* Another list I deem bogus is Maxim's Greatest Movie Moments. Rodney Dangerfield's perfect Triple Lindy gets ranks only at No. 52? C'mon, people. We're talking a 10 here, after being called out of the stands and pulling off a series of flawless fart noises under his arm pits.

You can also see a video of Rodney performing the Triple Lindy.

Read this account of how some dude's friend broke her leg simply attempting the Triple Lindy.

* A couple new Pokeman characters from Hecklers Online: Gropeman and Kareokeman.The kids will just love 'em.

* Good news, everyone. This site ranks No. 2 on Yahoo! when searching for "extreme ass stretching." And yes, that showed up in my referrer log.

I'm a little lower for "farm girl oops pics," and yes, some sicko searched for that, too.

* How could I spend so much time on the three TV studs above and not throw out a link to pro wrestling manager Classy Freddie Blassie's bio? I swear I once sat at a table next to this guy at a Japanese Hibachi steakhouse. All I can say is that I have no idea how he earned the moniker "The Fashion Plate of Wrestling."

Sticking with the wrestling theme, here a page detailing some wrestling gimmicks that could have worked but didn't. Anyone remember the Rougeau Brothers or the Can-Am Connection?

* Check out this new book — Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women.

Here's all you need to know: "Dr. Albert went as far into this world as it is possible to go — some will say too far — including sitting in on sessions with customers..."

So for $300, you get an hour with an AIDS-invested drug addict and a Harvard med student taking notes on your pecker.

* Over three million Chinese drink their own urine. I'll never look at egg drop soup the same way again.

* 1997 Spring break nationals bikini contest. Vintage year.

* Sci-fi sirens. I guess these ladies appear on Star Trek and in comic books and other crap I wouldn't be caught dead paying attention to.

* Hooters Derby bikini contest page. This could be the second time around for this link. Who cares?

* Mike's Fitness Universe Sexy Babes. I wanna be like Mike.
