Iconic guy from my early Sonics fan days
RIP Slick
He visited my younger brother when he was hospitalized at Seattle Children’s, shortly before he died from leukemia So did Downtown Freddy Brown.
My brother was a huge Sonic’s fan. He could recite all the player’s stats at age 6.
My mom wrote a letter to the team telling them about Chris and his leukemia and his love of the team.
Slick and Freddy visited him in the hospital a few weeks later.

John 'Paddy' Hemingway DFC
"John "Paddy" Hemingway, the last surviving pilot of the iconic Battle of Britain, passed away peacefully on 17 March 2025 at the age of 105.
Paddy Hemingway, one of a number known as ‘the Few’ and revered figures in British aviation history, played a crucial role in defending the United Kingdom against Nazi oppression during the summer of 1940. His courage in the face of overwhelming odds demonstrated his sense of duty and the importance of British resilience. Eighty-five years ago, a nineteen-year-old Royal Air Force Pilot Officer from Ireland, flew his Hurricane in the skies over France, providing fighter cover (strafing attacks, air patrols and dogfights) to the British Expeditionary Force and other allied troops as they retreated to the beaches of Dunkirk in the face of overwhelming Nazi Blitzkrieg attacks. It became known as the ‘Battle of France’ "

There was a ridiculous statement today about how France should be thanking the U.S. they're not speaking German today.
England stood alone after Dunkirk. 25 million KIA worldwide before isolationist America was dragged into the conflict.
Yeah, we were the "arsenal of democracy", but the stalwarts who were the only thing holding the Third Reich back came down to 3,000 RAF fighter pilots.
The Few were the epitome of Britain at it's finest hour.

George Foreman, Boxing Champion and Grilling Magnate, Dies at 76
He claimed a world title in his 20s and again in his 40s, and then made millions selling grills.George Foreman, a heavyweight boxing champion who returned to the sport to regain his title at the improbable age of 45, and parlayed his fame and amiable personality into a multimillion-dollar grill business, died on Friday night at a hospital in Houston. He was 76.
His family announced his death on his Instagram account. Roy Foreman, George’s brother, said the cause of death was not known.
When Foreman returned to the ring after 10 years away, there was skepticism that a fighter of his years could beat any younger fighter, much less come back to the top of the game. But in 1994, he beat the undefeated Michael Moorer to reclaim the world title, shocking the boxing world.
Foreman’s career spanned generations: He fought Chuck Wepner in the 1960s, Dwight Muhammad Qawi in the ’80s and Evander Holyfield in the ’90s.
With Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, Foreman embodied a golden era in the 1970s, when boxing was still a cultural force in America. The three great champions thrilled fans with one classic bout after another. Foreman was the last living member of the trio.
And his popularity helped him make millions selling grills after his retirement.
George Edward Foreman was born Jan. 10, 1949, in Marshall, Texas, to Nancy Ree (Nelson) Foreman and J.D. Foreman, a railroad construction worker. As an adult, he learned that his biological father was a man named Leroy Moorehead.
Foreman was candid about being a bully and a petty criminal in his youth. After dropping out of school, he joined the Job Corps at 16. At 17, he tried his hand at boxing.
Success came quickly in the amateur ranks; only a year and a half later he was Olympic heavyweight champion, defeating Ionas Chepulis of the Soviet Union by a second-round knockout in Mexico City in 1968.
After the fight, Foreman, who was Black, waved a small American flag in the ring, days after the track athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised clenched fists during the national anthem to protest the country’s treatment of Black people.
“I was just glad to be an American,” Foreman said afterward. “Some people have tried to make something of it, calling me an Uncle Tom, but I’m not. I just believe people should live together in peace.”
Turning professional, he started a heavy schedule of fights, boxing as many as a dozen times in a year. He was 37-0 when he got his first shot at a world heavyweight title against Frazier in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1973.
Though he was a 3-1 underdog, Foreman dominated the fight, knocking Frazier down six times before the contest was stopped halfway through the second round. One of those knockdowns led the television announcer Howard Cosell to utter one of boxing’s most famous calls: “Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!”
“It was unbelievable,” the Times sports columnist Arthur Daley wrote. “In little more than four and a half minutes, George Foreman destroyed Joe Frazier tonight, and the man who supposedly couldn’t lose never had even one ghost of a chance for victory. So there is a new heavyweight champion of the world, and he won it with authority in an explosive demonstration of overpowering punching skills.”
Foreman defended the title twice, before a match with Ali in Zaire in 1974 that would become known as the Rumble in the Jungle. This time, Foreman was the favorite, but Ali reclaimed the title, dealing Foreman his first career loss.
Ali used his rope-a-dope strategy, resting on the top rope and allowing Foreman to punch him, but also tire himself out. Ali finished the fight with a left-right combination knockout in the eighth round.
Foreman had five more victories, including another one over Frazier, but after losing to Jimmy Young in 1977 he elected to hang up his gloves at age 28, citing his religious beliefs and his mother’s wishes.
He turned to religious vocation in his retirement years, as a nondenominational Christian minister in Houston and by starting a youth center.
But the ring lured him back. “I want to be champion again,” he said in 1987. “I’ve got a three-year plan. I want to start at the bottom. Train harder than any man in the world. Fight once a month.”
He admitted money was a factor as well. “You know that story about how you have four pockets in your pants, and you better save what’s in one pocket so you can live?” he said. “I saved one pocket. I’ve got money for steak and potatoes. But the other three pockets I just blew.”
Sure enough, Foreman fought frequently, as many as nine times in a year. He cranked out 24 straight wins, although most were against boxers of lesser ability. That set him up for a title shot at age 42 against the champion, Holyfield, in 1991. Foreman lost the decision but put forth a creditable performance.
The Times described Foreman as “fit and courageous.” But the general reaction was that his performance was little more than a brave effort. Surely, that seemed to be the end of Foreman’s title dreams.
He scored a few more wins and lost to Tommy Morrison, but then managed to land another title shot in 1994 against Moorer, 26, who had defeated Holyfield. Some called it undeserved and suggested that Foreman got the chance only because of his fame and the novelty of his age. “It’s not about deserving,” he said with a smile, “because I’ve got it.”
Foreman was trailing on the judges’ scorecards when he managed to land the big punch he was looking for and knocked Moorer out in the 10th round in Las Vegas. Moorer had thrown 641 punches, to 369 by Foreman. But the last one was the one that counted.
Foreman had stood rather than sit on a stool between rounds as if to defy his 45 years. He became the oldest heavyweight champion in history.
“Anything you desire, you can make happen,” he said after the fight. “It’s like the song, ‘When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.’ Well, look at me tonight.”
Foreman defended his belt against a German fighter, Axel Schulz. But the governing bodies that awarded the championship began to strip him of his belts as he declined to fight the challengers they mandated. Instead, Foreman faced and defeated a couple of lesser fighters. His final fight was a loss, a close decision to Shannon Briggs in 1997. He was 48.
He finished with a professional record of 76-5 and is widely regarded as one of the 10 best heavyweight fighters of all time; a Ring Magazine survey in 2017 ranked him seventh. He was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003.
Foreman returned to his youth center, did commentary for televised boxing broadcasts and, most lucratively, sold hamburger grills.
Foreman began endorsing the George Foreman Grill in 1994, with a big smile and predictable but still charming lines like “It’s a knockout.” The grills were electric and portable and could be used inside as an alternative to outdoor charcoal grilling. Foreman helped propel the grills to become an American kitchen mainstay.
In 1999, Salton Inc. paid $137.5 million for worldwide rights to use Foreman’s name on grills; Foreman got about 75 percent of the payout. He also endorsed mufflers, fried chicken and chips.
Foreman’s affability helped him transcend boxing and cross over into the media world. In 1993-94, in the midst of his comeback, he starred in “George,” a short-lived sitcom on ABC in which he played a retired boxer helping troubled youth, and he made guest appearances on several other shows over the years. He appeared in a Venus-flytrap costume on “The Masked Singer” show in 2022 (his performance of “Get Ready” by the Temptations was not enough to stave off elimination).

Foreman named all five of his sons George. In 2005, he collaborated with the author Fran Manushkin on a children’s book called “Let George Do It!” about a household full of Georges, like his own.
It reads: “‘Today is Big George’s birthday,’ Mom tells the assembled boys. ‘Can I count on all of you to help with the party?’
“‘You bet,’ said George, George, George and George. ‘Urgle,’ said Baby George.”
One key to Foreman’s business success in so many areas, he said, was making personal appearances.
“That’s bigger than anything, any endorsement, I don’t care who you are,” he said. “They want to touch you; they want to know you.”
“Then,” he said, “they buy you.”
His family announced his death on his Instagram account. Roy Foreman, George’s brother, said the cause of death was not known.

Yes, “George” ran for 9 episodes on ABC in late 1993-early 1994.
I lived on my own for about 5 years between marriages. When I wasn’t dining out, my cooking rotated between microwaved hot dogs, microwaved frozen dinners and chicken cooked on my George Foreman grill. I don’t think I turned on my apartment’s oven once.

The said it was epilepsy. I'll try and find a link.
eta* They said she had epilepsy and suffered from seizures, not that she died from epilepsy. My bad. They also said they'd have more information in upcoming weeks but did not suspect foul play, and the tone of the article I read seemed pretty adamant about that.
Jessica Aber, former U.S. attorney found dead, had epilepsy and died in her sleep, family says
Authorities had said they had no evidence suggesting Aber's death was caused by anything other than natural causes.
www.nbcnews.com
From ABC News:
"Her family reiterated that it is believed Aber died from natural causes and said she 'suffered from epilepsy and epileptic seizures for many years.' The case will remain open until the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner rules on the manner and cause of death, police said."
My heart goes out to her parents who probably know this is fodder for conspiracy theories or outright accusations and have already asked for privacy. How about we give it to them? Asking for a friend . . .

Was that friend Gene Hackman? Cuz there was a whole lot of crazy going on in here when he passed.
It seems like you're implying I'm some sort of conspiracy nut. (If I'm misreading that, by all means let me know.) Let me assure you, I'm nothing of the sort. This story came to my attention and it struck me that we're losing a lot of front line defenders. She prosecuted money launderers, cryptocurrency fraud and a host of other crimes. I thought that she merited inclusion in this thread.

Totally misreading it, bud. I didn't even think to include you in any insinuation. I was thinking about other people (who generally don't frequent this thread and really aren't even on the board). Yeah, that wasn't passive-aggressive. I'm not that clever and I honestly didn't think you were doing that. I'd seen her the other day in the news, and she definitely merited inclusion. I responded to you just to clear up what the story was. I think it was the Newsweek title itself that got me thinking about Russian malfeasance.
Take care, kupcho. I apologize if my post came off badly or accusatory.

Poor Hackman at 95 years old, remains a mystery how he could have died with advanced Alzheimer's
-I've read reports he was left on his own for a few days perhaps after his wife died.
Also it has become apparent there was absolutely no relationship between he and his children
Everyday the tabloids like to run some clickbait "New turn" "Shocking details" and it gets people to click and read but I don't think there is any sinister developments coming
The man was 95, she was 30+ years younger and his caretaker and she contracted a disease you get from rats/rodents and who know how or why that happened but it did
