Celebrity Deaths

[Catsmile]

Sam served up the finest loins to his customers. Saved the very finest for Alice.

Alice always served Sam her tenderloin. Sam always gave it to her bone-in.
Just ask Alice... oh wait.

Not Alice!

Oh man.  I never had a thing for Alice.  But Mrs. Brady?  Oh baby!

[paladin1991]

I always wondered about Alice and Sam the butcher. Was it something about his loins?

She always wanted his meat.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Hmph.  Oh well.
I always thought she was a talentless hack.

That's because you never knew her when she was "Miss Calypso," General.  This is was what she looked like before she developed the social conscience that made her a cultural icon and a national treasure, and it's how I like to remember her.

Any drug that as a side effect "makes you feel hot so make sure you drink plenty of water" doesn't sound like my thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mike Birbiglia.

I want that drug that "really makes you feel the pizza." Although I think I may have that one, cough, cough

And weird and ugly fight over him as he was on his deathbed was tragic, though also in a way funny (at one point someone, I think his wife, threw raw meat at the police and daughter and yelled some Bible verse- this after they were tracked down to a place in Washington. Bizarre.)

I just heard about Tony Gwynn--damn, I didn't even know he was sick.  Even though he regularly kicked my favorite team's collective ass, he was an amazing hitter, and apparently an all around classy, gracious human being.  He was way too young to go.

RIP Tony. Jerry Coleman died this January, as well. Tough year for the Padres organization.

Apparently he had a tumor in his cheek area, he thought he got the cancer from chewing tobacco, jeez

Yeah, that really sucks. So damn young.  What a player.
Btw: I'm "not sure" on the chewing tobacco link cancer thing. I've known some oldsters who still use it in their 90's! Of course, not a medical or scientific observation. I think there must be some other factors involved? Random luck, genetics, types of tobacco chewed, etc. Certainly it is safer than smoking, though I'm pretty sure it is not healthy or maybe even "safe". Though, apparently Sweden has found remarkable cancer declines by allowing SNUS and having many switch from cigarettes to snuff. Though they claim American chewing tobacco and snuff contains other chemicals in it and we "fire cure" it- and that is the real danger whereas theirs by law is only tobacco, water, and salt (or flavoring.) At least with chewing tobacco and SNUS there is no second-hand smoke. You know the reason why spittoons got take out of public places (though I think still in some state legislators and maybe even the Capitol?) TB and the 1918 Flu and new marketing/thinking that cigarettes were "cooler" and more safer!

[Yorkshire pud]

An example of those who actually made a difference and should be celebrated. I used to work for Du-Pont in the UK. Some of the finest people I've worked with. Including a scientist who invented materials that went into solar panels. Barking mad, but brilliant!!

DuPont.  If memory serves, they used to manufacture Napalm for the miitary.  Never used the stuff myself.  Though my Uncle did call it in.  Scary shit, he would say.

They have made alsorts of stuff. Different plants manufacture different things. Incredible safe working ethic, almost pathological.

Dupont, that's the company that stirred up the "R-12 freon causes the hole in the ozone layer" panic in the late 70s - just as their patents were running out.  Amazingly, the cure for the problem, R-138, still had a patent.
Confess to your part in this, Yorkie.

Alas I can't confess to it, because a) I wasn't working at Du-Pont in the 70's (I'd just left school) and b) the plant I worked at didn't make freon. We made dielectric and conductive pastes that are used in the pharmaceutical, automotive and photo-voltaic industries.

Other than that, you got me bang to rights and no mistake.

Eli Wallach.  Adios, Tuco.  Vaya con Dios.

[Jackstar]

Such gratitude! Thanks, Eli!

Now that is staged timing, my friends.

I love it when a plan comes together.
