R.I.P. it in the bud, Andy

Barney, we hardly knew ye.

Don Knotts has died. The headline coming across the wire says "Actor Don Knotts dies at 81; made being a nerd OK," which is fitting enough, I guess, but still seems odd for an obit. My headline for this entry, however, is much worse, but I apologize for nothing.

May he forever enjoy the leisure suits and precincts in the sky.
