The Best of Andy Rooney at Grant Miller Media.

Grant Miller Media was saddened by the recent passing of its longtime contributor, Andy Rooney. Mr. Rooney's final Grant Miller Media post will be published later this week.

In the meantime, here's a look back at Mr. Rooney's greatest moments at Grant Miller Media:

On the blogosphere

"It used to be if you wanted your voice heard you had to get on TV or radio or write a letter to your newspaper. Now days you hop online and start a blog, like Grant Miller Media. So now, everyone's voice is heard and everybody has a blog.

To bad no one is listening."

On slippers

"I like my slippers. I get a new pair every year and I wear them around the house. Sometimes I wear them at work, but my boss doesn't like it very much. Says it sets a bad example. Of course, he never said wearing shoes sets a good example...."

On Valentine's Day

"It's surprising how much Valentine's Day candy costs these days. So much of it is made of high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated soybean oil. It's tough to find anything made with real sugar. And that's too bad...."

On taking naps

"I like late afternoons because I like to nap. You can try napping in the morning but it's not very easy. It feels more like going back to bed. If you try napping in the early afternoon you won't have much success. Someone will probably tell you to get up...."

On bubble gum

"You don't see men my age chewing bubble gum. There's something about it that looks silly once you reach a certain age. Same goes for lollipops and cotton candy...."

On eyebrows

"Not everyone's eyebrows are the same. Elizabeth Taylor's eyebrows were practically more famous than her. Groucho Marx made a career out of his. You don't see many stars now days with eyebrows like that."

On newspaper ads for women's shoes

"Here's another ad for women's shoes. I don't normally look at ads for women's shoes, but I couldn't help but notice the woman in this ad is holding the shoes, not wearing them. The least you can do if you're selling women's shoes is to show a woman wearing them. Somehow I don't think this ad was made with someone like me in mind...."

On the Super Bowl

"It used to be that only football fans would watch the Super Bowl. Of course it wasn't always called the Super Bowl. It was just the championship. But once you get enough corporate sponsors and halftime acts, I suppose you can't just call it the championship...."

On finding money

"I don't think many people give much thought to where a few extra dollars go. If you've ever found a couple dollars in an old pair of slacks it may be a nice surprise but it's hardly enough to retire on...."

On Pringles

"Pringles are the only chip that come in a can. Walk down the chip aisle of any supermarket and you won't find any chips in cans. Except Pringles. Sure, you might find shoestring potatoes in a can. But those aren't chips. At least I don't think they're chips...."

On babies in television commercials

"What about babies that sell tires? You probably didn't know babies need tires. I know I didn't. Do you really think a baby would choose one tire over another? I've never met a baby that could even tell the difference between tires and I bet you haven't either. But selling tires to worried parents is probably a little easier than selling baby food to a baby. It'll sure cost you more...."

On credit cards

"Not many people use checks anymore it seems. Even hot dog vendors accept credit cards now. Just the other day I took a cab in New York City and the driver asked if I would pay with a credit card. When I was a boy, nobody used credit cards...."

On "60 Minutes"

"How is it that '60 Minutes' has won 78 Emmys while 'America's Funniest Home Videos' hasn't won anything? I'll tell you how - everybody is scared of Mike Wallace and his slick backed hair, capped teeth and that silky smooth baritone of his...."
