    Andy Rooney, long time 60 minutes contributor, dies at 92

    NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature "60 Minutes" commentaries about life's large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.

    My mom loves Andy Rooney too, she watches 60 minutes every week since forever. So weird, I just talked to my mom on the phone for the first time in 18 months 5 minutes ago. Woke her up so I'm sure she doesn't know, but I didn't know yet either (My mom is hard of hearing and neither one of us is big on the phone but I talk to her regularly on AIM or "instant email" as she calls is it so I'm not that big of an asshole for taking 18 months to call home)

    i just remember him saying "and here's another thing" bunches. I even posted that the GG Andy Rooney title was the better thread, but the Mod sent that one here.
