crypt-keeper. He was on body 12.81? He certainly outlasted his expiry date
A friend AND a family member didn't know he was a magician. Really? What a huge loss. I saw him in NYC in the mid-90's. i didn't see his show i just saw him in the east village. 2nd ave Deli I think. He probably died very near my current place. One of his haunts was Canter's on fairfax which I can walk to. I think he stayed out here once he moved west. I tried to get tickets to his show in nyc back then but couldn't. I didn't try hard enough. What an artist.OrtonToOlsen said:Ricky Jay.

The person i most ever wanted to be. I lived a little bit like him accidentally before i knew he existed, intentionally once i did. There can never be too much magic in a moment and each moment is lost when one does not invest every grain of magic one can summon into it. Rest in chaos, rest in order, rest in peace.OrtonToOlsen said:Ricky Jay. If you don’t know who this is punch yourself in the face and keep scrolling.
Damn, my kids grew up on that show
There is or used to be a public pier that we would use for crabbing back in the early 80s. I bet if I saw it today I would be underwhelmed but it’s one of my fondest memories as a kid.If it had strings, chances are he was one of the best ever on it.
He had a house for several years in my hometown of Deale, MD. Used to see him around quite a bit when I was a kid.
There was a community pier next to Happy Harbor Inn that people used to crab off of.There is or used to be a public pier that we would use for crabbing back in the early 80s. I bet if I saw it today I would be underwhelmed but it’s one of my fondest memories as a kid.
Thanks. I’m not often down that way anymore but I might need to find a reason to.There was a community pier next to Happy Harbor Inn that people used to crab off of.

I was completely unaware that Hillenburg had ALS. Huge loss to children's programming.Damn, my kids grew up on [Spongebob].
Their houses were inspired. Squidward's was my favorite.I was completely unaware that Hillenburg had ALS. Huge loss to children's programming.
Hillenburg sure put a lot of joy and laughter in my children's lives, though they both (they think!) have 'outgrown' Spongebob. The series was something we enjoyed together as a family, and we still quote the series all the time.
Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenburg. You done did good in this world.

Aw, crap. Always liked his characters, even if the shows were goofy as hell.jamny said:

In retrospect, he was the wrong choice to replace Andy Griffith. It's like they couldn't decide between getting an "Andy clone" or a "Gomer clone", so they hired a guy who was both at the same time.jamny said:
Just came in to post this. What a bummer. Grew up as a huge fan. The album Love Bites is an all time favorite record for me.
well dammit.
Howard's Magazine was also a favorite of mine.well dammit.
thank you for linking my favorite buzzcocks tune too.
I mis-remembered that shelley had a cameo in 24 Hour Party People... was actually howard devoto.
I'm not linking the lyrics but they are freaking hilarious.
Met her - a fight scene in EWWBL was filmed in my hangout bar (Turf Club) in Santa Fe. Lovely gal, might have been behind Eastwood leaving a huge tab for the regulars for having displaced us. Actually thought she was already gone - she first got cancer in the 80s or 90s i think. RIP -http://extratv.com/2018/12/13/clint-eastwoods-ex-girlfriend-oscar-nominee-sondra-locke-dead-at-74/
Actress Sondra Locke, who dated Clint Eastwood for 13 years in the '70s and '80s, has died, reportsRadarOnline.com. She was 74.
Locke’s cause of death was cardiac arrest stemming from breast and bone cancer, according to a death certificate obtained by the site.
She passed away November 3 and was later laid to rest at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary.
Locke had previously battled breast cancer, and had a double mastectomy in 1990.
Locke was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her film debut, 1968's “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.” She met Eastwood in 1972, and became involved with him during the making of "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976). She also starred with him in "The Gauntlet" (1977), "Every Which Way but Loose" (1978), "Bronco Billy" (1980), "Any Which Way You Can" (1982), and "Sudden Impact" (1983).
In the nineties my friend, the decade don't matter for timeless stuff...Any other old ******* buy Singles Going Steady in ‘79? Glad my teenage years included great music like this

I completely forgot about this:Bill Fralic, 56, after a long battle with cancer
https://www.wtae.com/article/bill-fralic-dies-pitt-hall-of-famer-nfl-star-penn-hills/25586181
During his NFL career, Fralic also made a couple of brief forays into professional wrestling. The World Wrestling Federation hired him to be in a battle royal at WrestleMania 2 in 1986, along with William "Refrigerator" Perry and other football stars of that era. Wrestling fans will also remember Fralic joining the "Stars and Stripes Challenge" to bodyslam WWF champion Yokozuna aboard the USS Intrepid on July 4, 1993.
The classic Fralic story relates to a summer when he was caddying at a Pittsburgh golf course, He happened to get a foursome including Jackie Sherrill who was head coach at Pitt at the time. Sherrill looked him up and down and said "Wow, you're a big guy. Do you play football?" Fralic answered, "Yeah, coach, I do." Sherrill asked, "Are you in school?" Fralic answered, "Yeah, I'm a freshman." Sherrill shook his head and said, "How did I miss out on recruiting you? Where are you going?" Fralic's answer: "Oh, no, coach you didn't miss out. I'm a freshman at Penn Hills High School." Sherrill made sure he didn't miss out later.I completely forgot about this:
Its strange that she passed away over a month ago, but its just now being reported. Sad in a way she is identified primarily as "Clint Eastwood's ex-girlfriend" since, after using his lawyers to evict her and move her possessions into storage after a decade long relationship, he referred to her in the subsequent lawsuit as "my occasional roommate over the past 10 years" (or something similar.) His treatment of her was deplorable, admitting I don't have personal knowledge and only know what I read. Her subsequent lawsuits with him and Warner Bros are used as textbook examples of the implied duty of "good faith and fair dealing" in law school contracts classes (Warner Bros, ostensibly acting at Eastwood's direction, having failed to meet the standard, breached their contract due to bad faith.)http://extratv.com/2018/12/13/clint-eastwoods-ex-girlfriend-oscar-nominee-sondra-locke-dead-at-74/

Dayum. One of the most important people in comedy history because she showed a generation of women that funny don't know if you're female, keep being funny and folks will end up paying you for that. VERY few people who've made a living in comedy in the last 40 years dont have a Penny Marshall story because she was one of the great listeners/helpers ever. And everything she did had such a depressive edge to it that it made folks feel they were helping her by letting her help them. The genuine article. RIP -Laverne.. Penny Marshall at 75. RIP ☹
I'm guessing most of the posters around here have seen Big and A League of Their Own more times than they can count. Not too many movie moments are more iconic than the floor piano dance and "there's no crying in baseball!"Laverne.. Penny Marshall at 75. RIP ☹
