#6  He reminds me of that Bavarian guy who'd reply to the waitress when she asked him whether he wanted another beer: "Darling, when I DON'T want another beer, I'll tell you!"

#5  Given, Congress designates every day under for something political agenda item or cause.

How about all the bars in the USA get together and demand a Norm Peterson Day.

What Friday or Saturday in what Month they should pick?

#3  My favorite Norm quote was;

"Hey, Mister Peterson, what's happening?"

"The more important question Woody is, why is it happening to me?"

#2  By all accounts a decent guy and a very funny man.

My favorite, by the by, was:

"Hey, Mister Peterson, how's it going?"

"Woody, it's a dog eat dog world out there, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."

We could use more Norm type characters and TV shows like Cheers, instead of the slime seen now.

Looking at what this next generation is growing up watching, I can see Gen-Strange coming?
