  • smacksaw, on 11/08/2009, -0/+6That's a shame. He was a good guy.
  • spookyttws, on 11/08/2009, -0/+5It always chokes me up when I learn of someone who is so passionate about their love that they go to extreme measures to support it. Dorf is great example. His death sends out a very real message: life is short, do what you love with those you love and don't let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.
  • LilJimmyNordin, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3I do believe he had some success as a golf expert, too.
  • Skywise, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3I wonder if he got benefits from the wild success it is now...
  • wootup, on 11/08/2009, -0/+1In 4 years of Digging, this is the funniest death comment I've ever read. Literally LOLed.
  • Jowki, on 11/08/2009, -3/+4Lol. This reminds me of a episode of The Big Bang Theory. Raaj has to get married to a stranger and Sheldon thinks she is some queen or something from a fairy tale. He says how often do you see a beloved charcter come alive. Howard says every year at Comic-Con hehe.

    Thought it was pretty funny but RIP. @getsome2k LOL!
