Nice poll. I am a big Mel Brooks fan and fell in love with him when he had his marvelous decade of the 70's. I bought the book The 2000 Year Old Man when it came out and each of my kids (and eventually grandkids) have enjoyed my copy. I have work out a few videotapes, cds, and dvds of Blazing Saddles. The man is a comedic genius.
