I was 15 and took my girlfriend to see Blazin Saddles; we both laughed till we couldn't breathe! Well, technically her parents dropped us off at the movie - but I paid for the tickets and popcorn... RIP Gene, you were an original and will be missed. It's funny, but here, 42 years later, I still remember seeing that movie and how much of a big shot I felt to be on an actual date. And Gene, thanks for the line you gave Cleavon when he asked what you liked to do -it became my favorite and my girlfriend didn't play chess!
