Abe Vigoda.

No explanation necessary.

FISH!

OK, I'm leaving for real now.

FWF's up.

[Hoyo de Monterrey]

-In 1982, People magazine erroneously declared him dead. Vigoda took the error with good humor, posing for a photograph showing him sitting up in a coffin, holding the magazine in question.

-This rumor was nearly started again in 1987 when a reporter for Secaucus, New Jersey television station WWOR, Channel 9 erroneously referred to him as "the late Abe Vigoda".[citation needed] She corrected herself on the air the next day.

-Erroneous reports of Vigoda's death as well as questions of whether he is alive or dead have become a running joke

-AbeVigoda.com lists Abe Vigoda's current state as dead or alive.

-A Late Night with David Letterman skit showed Letterman trying to summon Vigoda's ghost. Vigoda then walked in and declared, "I'm not dead, you idiot!"
-
In a Comedy Central Roast of Drew Carey, with Abe Vigoda present in the audience, comedian Jeffrey Ross stated "and my one regret is that Abe Vigoda isn't alive to see this." He followed that with "Drew, you go to Vegas, what's the over-under on Abe Vigoda?"
-
In 2002, Greg Galcik recorded a song "Abe Vigoda's Dead", a parody of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus.

-In the show Yes, Dear Jimmy writes a song titled "Things I Think About at Work" with a line that says "I wonder if Abe Vigoda's still alive".

-A November 2006 Conan O'Brien sketch showed an audience member summoning the dead. The "deceased person" turned out to be Vigoda.

-In a 2009 episode of Corner Gas called "Reader Pride" Emma, Oscar and Karen argue about whether or not Vigoda is still alive.

I just think all this stuff is funny haha

might as well end this.

CDIF has won.

I don't know how fictional the Marlboro Man, the lung cancer that killed him was real.
As far as stamina is concerned, not the best pick.
As far as coolness is concerned, excellent.  (Oh wait, smoking's not cool?)

He's a sleeper for world domination, you don't know what he's putting in those smokes.

Great pick on Abe Vigoda - it's like getting a good actor and Schrodinger's cat all in one package. 

With the 50 somethingth pick in the Ultimate Draft, fairweatherfan selects:



Brainiac - Villain

While not the best-known of Superman's nemeses, Brainiac is perhaps the most intelligent being in the universe.  He has conquered, destroyed and created worlds in his quest for knowledge and power.  And he's still physically strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Superman. 

Closest basketball equivalent: A hyper-evolved Jeff Van Gundy's brain in a young Shawn Kemp's body.  Or not.


Cartoon Character:

Government Leader: Alexander the Great.

Brainiac might be smart, but Jesus is omniscient.

Me either.  My generation decided they preferred to just play the panels in order and give them audio, but somehow stopped producing good story lines in the process.

But not good sarcastic jokes. TP for a genuine chuckle.

When does our season start?  If I draft Leon Powe will he be healthy in time?
