1. Absolutely loved John Candy........he was a gawd on SCTV.

Can not believe it’s been 30 years since his death.

2. I miss him, too. The real gentle giant.

He took all those fat criticisms and smart-ass barbs personally. I once interviewed him and he said so. A very sweet and deep and sensitive soul. He was a large imposing figure but somehow you still wanted to protect him and fight dragons for him.

How could you not love him? How could ANYBODY not love him? He’s undoubtedly Upstairs now - where EVERYBODY loves him, and appreciates him deeply. He has God in his audience now, and it doesn’t get better than that.

3. "Come see the guy with the snake on his face!"

That was the used car seller character on SCTV

4. Don't forget - your underwear can kill you.

if it's too tight, it'll pool the blood in your buttocks and you'll die.
