Andy Griffith, RIP - 24hourcampfire

He was the country boy a country came to love.

Andy Griffith, star of 'The Andy Griffith Show,' died Tuesday at age 86.

As Curly Bill's character from the movie "Tombstone" would say, "Well..... Bye."

You realize he died 3 years ago.?

Yup.

I only hope the rest of the O supporters follow his lead...

On the bright side, Griffith hasn't made a single anti-gun tirade in three whole years. Keep it up, Andy!

Too funny.

RIP. To this day, I still thoroughly enjoy the Andy Griffith Show.

Andy Griffith Show is great. However, if he supports O he is not missed by me at all.

A completely understandable error.

He still votes.

Funny, his death was reported on the radio here yesterday. Wonder if Yahoo news are somebody screwed up and put it out.

Don't you hate when that happens?

Tell ya what, mudhen: The next (inevitable) time that someone posts that 2007 CNN gun poll urging us to vote, you can just ROTFLYAO.

Hell, that happens to me all the time.

I wonder when watching old shows if they are still alive or not. Sometimes I'm right, and sometimes not..

With the news media devoting so much time and effort focusing on keeping the manure pot stirred on controversial subjects it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if they simply forgot he died three years ago.

How's Opie taking it?
