RIP Dick Martin (http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=315865&GT1=7703)

If "Sock it to me", The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate, "Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls!", and "You bet your sweet bippy!" mean nothing to you, then you need some Laugh-in (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan_&_Martin's_Laugh-In)culturization.

Yeah I just heard the news last night. I grew up with Laugh in and it was just a silly, fun show with tons of guest stars and famous people of the day. I remember Richard Nixon on the show saying "Sock it to me!", and I also remember having a huge crush on Goldie Hawn! Btw, one of the head writers of the show, pre his SNL days, was none other than Lorne Michaels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorne_Michaels)

Here's a nice tribute to Dick Martin:
