Karl Malden, we hardly knew ye...

Karl Malden is now dead, contrary to the belief that he was already dead.

Oscar-winning actor Karl Malden dead at 97 (AP) - Yahoo! Movies

The streets of San Francisco will no longer be as safe...

I would have sworn he died from cancer about 10 years ago.

Anyone here familiar with the usenet group alt.fan.karl-malden-nose, or something like that?

I remember seeing it but I don't think I ever checked it out.

Was his nose related to Jimmy Durante's nose?

C'mon, what difference does that make when the guy is dead? Sounds to me like you're just being nosy.

No, I'm just picky.

I have a friend that was his niece. Apparently he was a black sheep of his family until he won an Oscar and suddenly his parents were very proud.

Hell of an actor and a nice guy to boot.

Never left home without him.

The thing I'll remember most about him is that my mom could never remember John Madden's name and always asked if I was playing "Karl Malden Football".

That's the one I was trying to remember. I kept typing alt.binaries.pictures.great-ass.karlmalden by mistake.

You know, something that makes me feel old...

All the Me0wers that used to hang out in AFKMN and related groups that bedeviled Usenet? They're in their 30's or 40's at this point.

digamma · 07-01-2009, 10:46 PM

Yeah, that's what I was asking about. The doofuses who started that lived across the hall from my wife her freshman year of college.

Swaggs · 07-01-2009, 10:53 PM

I really thought he died like 10 or 15 years ago.

He was 97, I think we actually knew him pretty well.
