And he's still going strong in Fantasy Fantasy League!!!!
Yeah thanks to Fantasy Josh Houslander saving his life in Week 6.
Fantasy Josh Houslander knows his place on the Horsemen of Apokolips. He is a vital member on the team.
Since Fantasy Josh Houslander is just as gracious as real world Josh Houslander, I am sure he thanks you profusely.
Good job killing Jan and Blip in the ALCS. Hestizzle is the mizzle Yo.
What can I say Chuck, you were a legend and a hero to many people. You made some of the sweetest Sci-Fi movies of all time and you where a loin cloth better than any actor I have ever seen. I'm sure heaven will be a big adjustment for you but I am sure you will have no problem becoming just as prolific up there as you were down here. Take care sir and maybe one day our path's will cross. I will at that time have to call up Ryan because he would kill me if I didn't give him the opportunity to meet his hero. Anyways, you will be greatly missed.
Also, in the words of that horrible Dane Cook movie, "Good luck Chuck".
Dane Cook: The biggest bust since the Geico cave men got their own sitcom. If his post stand up career was any less funny he would be Carrot Top.
