When I saw the name Wilson in quotes, I thought this thread would be about the demise of the volleyball from Castaway.

61? Man....
Best costume I ever saw at a costume contest...
Guy walked in wearing a lumberjack-type shirt, fishing hat, vest, and mounted from his neck, a tiny fence blocking the lower part of his face. 
Rest in peace Earl.

R.I.P. 
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Sad news. Everytime I walk by my co-workers desk, I peer over her cubical wall (with just my eyes) and say "Hiddey Ho, Good Neighbor!"

When Home Improvement was in its prime, the cast was on a talk show and that's how Earl Hindman came out on stage. He had a small fence attached to his face  . |

It amazed me how the show kept finding original ways to block half of Hindman's face when he wasn't in his backyard. I remember a scene in a restaurant where they kept switching between countertop items and Wilson's cup of coffee. Another scene was when he was taking part of the family on a plane ride. Hindman had a grossly oversized microphone on his headset!
