______ Passed Away Today, RIP (9 Viewers)

Suzanne Shepherd - Karen's mother in Goodfellas, Carmela's mother on The Sopranos

She was also the principal in Uncle Buck (with the big mole on her face).

She basically played the same character in The Sopranos that she did in Goodfellas, and did it well. "My goodness, what a bother. Excuse us for living." LOL

R.I.P.
 
None of you know him, and I only hung out with him a handful of times, but a fraternity brother of mine died suddenly yesterday of a heart attack. He hadn't even reached 50 years old. He had been overweight, but was in the process of losing a lot of weight / getting a lot healthier in the past few months. It was sobering news as I'm certainly overweight myself, don't exercise enough, eat like crap, etc. He leaves a beautiful family heartbroken just two days before Thanksgiving. He was revered by his local community as an educator and coach. May he RIP and God bless his grieving family.
 
Been a tough 10 days, with two friends/colleagues passing over that time. First one “died suddenly” and the second one died after a short one month battle with cancer after being told he would have 18 months. Both leave young children behind, which is the toughest part to take. Still a bit stunned with it all.
 
Marty Krofft 86
H.R. Pufnstuf
RIP - the Saturday morning shows he and his brother created were a big part of my childhood, mainly Land of the Lost.

Land Of the Lost
HR Pufnstuf
Sigmund the Sea Monster

great memories
I never really got into HR Pufnstuf, but LOTL and Sigmund were HUGE for me as a kid.
Not sure if @Sleestak is aware of the news. Or Bill Laimbeer for that matter.
 
Shane MacGowan, Pogues legend, at 65. This will be one of those celebrity deaths that hit me more than others.

He will be missed. Not sure if there is a better line out there at time like this (from the Pogue’s pub classic Streams of Whiskey). I will definetly have a pint or several in his honor.

There's nothing ever gained
By a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar
And drink fifteen pints of beer

SDO'C and Kissinger within days of each other. Incredible loss of great minds and statesman in the last couple days...

I feel like you are trying to egg people on to talk about Kissinger. But we aren’t allowed to have that discussion here, sadly. So I’ll just say there are a lot of people who disagree with your opinion of Kissinger.

:Classy:
Kissinger triggers people?

who knew :shrug::confused:

Something about Cambodia, Bangladesh, can't talk about it but the list goes on.

I don’t get that at all - no matter what you think of either it’s undeniable both these people were hugely impactful and are a part of the books of American History.

No dispute there. I think it's more about the statesman and great minds parts.

They were immensely impactful. But they won't be in that history book after our school board gets ahold of it.

Happy Friday!

I don't think she was going there. I think it was your calling attention to their undisputed place in American history when people have wildly differing views of what their place in American history should be or how they should be construed and taught.

RIP to Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor. O'Connor doesn't get a ton of credit for her jurisprudence, but it seemed to me that she enabled a sort of comity and compromise in a lot of the S. Ct.'s dealings. She also wrote the lead dissent in Kelo v. New London—a scathing and righteous one. Also the subject of John Riggins's unwittingly sexist uttering of "Lighten up, Sandy baby," she was a cultural icon because of her status as first S. Ct. female Justice and all that entailed.

RIP to each political figure.
