I would have bet he'd died years ago.

In all seriousness, this appears to be another one of those "he's about to go" things that gets passed through the technological grapevine until it's spun for some poor bastard 5 or 6 people in as, "he's dead," at which point the race is on to be the first to report it.
But apparently it's true now.

The owner of the Tiffany jewelery empire went overboard on a Norwegian Cruise in Tahiti. She was only 5'1", and too short for falling over to be a risk. Her boyfriend was arrested on suspicion, but released on lack of evidence.
Tiffany owner reportedly dies after falling from cruise ship while on vacation with boyfriend

Fred Hickman, former CNN and TNT sports anchor, has died at age 66
66? Wow. Are Chris Berman and Greg Gumbel the last of those national sports highlights show anchors?

Made me wonder what happened to the other CNN Sports guys. Vince Cellini is only 63 and Van Earl Wright (who always seemed a little too off the cuff for his time) is just 60. Those guys must have only been in their mid-20s when they got famous. Last edited by Swaggs : 11-12-2022 at 12:12 AM. |

Halloween and Friday the 13th were fun for maybe the first 3 (?). I'm amazed they still made enough money for another movie.

Clarence Gilyard, 'Die Hard' and 'Walker, Texas Ranger' star, dead at 66 | CNN
My favorite line of his is from Die Hard: "What have we here, gentlemen? The police have themselves an RV." Also loved watching Walker in my teen years SI

I listened to that album on the way home from work.
I'm sure there's a better quality version of this somewhere - maybe one of the cable channels will air it soon in light of her passing - but this was a fascinating look at all the circumstances surrounding the making of Rumours as well as some of the specific recording techniques and "sausage-making" of how some of the songs were written and recorded. This is broken into 8 parts. I may be thinking of a different show, but this is the one that might have her performing Songbird for the show. Rumours Part 1 - YouTube EDIT - found it, it's at the end of Part 5.

I spent my freshman year at a small college in South Carolina and he was HC of another team our baseball team played. We went to the game just to see him. Every time he went to the mound, we all started yelling at the umps to watch him and he had a big smile on his face walking back to the dugout.

He was famous for knowing every way to doctor a ball. That is how he pitched for so many years.

RIP my friend Chris Wilkes. He died of cancer and kidney failure this morning aggressively brought on by a c diff infection. He was an epic game player and gamemaster
When I lived in seattle, his game days were a thing of epic beauty. Tons of people both serious and nerdly worthless. rooms in the basement filled with games. A fridge filled with pop. canadian chips and smarties or all sorts lined the counter. YOu could get into a serious board game or a silly light game or even a party game. His upstairs was decked out with stereo TV and tons of dvds Downstairs posters lined the walls. THere were 5 computers set up. And then dinner was the big treat in addition to the snax. pizza or other things. Once the board gaming died down it was always time for LAN STARCRAFT. We'd boot it up on all the computers and do a 4 x 4 against 4 AI players. It was always epic. As it was BEFORE i startewd on lexapro I was always cursing up a storm at the AI as well as the other human players that managed to kill the others so much more than I could. But his house was always ALWAYS open. Me and another friend used to say that he and his wife did attract the worst kind of nerd. Maybe I wqas one of those at the time. Or still am. But his was a sanctum to hang out in and just chill. A comfortable place. And he and his wife made it so. Despiute the fact that I really really did not keep in touch much...mainly because I knew he liked to argue so much...esp with me. I tend to get sensitive about people arguoining and putting me down. And he did make me feel that way sometimes. oh man....I didn't think it would be this soon. None of us did. Altho the friend that pinged me about it did kinda tell me that i'd better chat with him soon if i wanted to. When I saw him he sounded and looked great. I loved talking to him and wished I'd had more time to chat...but never really wanted to interrupt other things. I"m just happy he got to talk and chat with lots of other people these last two weeks. Docs said he probably didn't have 6 months. They were hopeful I had no idea. rest in peace my friend. A cat lover for the ages. Goodbye Chris Last edited by CrimsonFox : 12-05-2022 at 12:28 AM. |
