Have a QO sweeter than wine for Jimmie Rodgers.

machotrouts thought that the perpetually ancient Larry King, who already had heart issues, lung cancer, and a stroke in his medical history, could pull through covid. He was wrong. Now it's his turn to cry cry cryyyyy, now that Larry said goodbye to us... =1. An Fear Beag 0 =1. Annami 0 =1. BabyBlue 0 =1. Banana 0 =1. Bibliogryphon 0 =1. Book 0 =1. BuffaloPhil 0 =1.

We're all doing fucking horribly.

Had a look earlier. Couldn’t find a cause of death. Likely TMZ will do some digging then leak details later.

Here's a clip that's not aged well. Doubt Rubin won't be too fond of this being shown again and again.

King wrote a book in 2004 about his experience living with heart disease, titled "Taking On Heart Disease: Famous Personalities Recall How They Triumphed over the Nation's #1 Killer and How You Can, Too". In it he interviews a number of celebrities who were living with heart disease, whether it be genetic or lifestyle induced. 16 years later here's who has gone or is still around from the book: Ed Bradley, 1941–2006 (65), journalist Walter Cronkite, 1916–2009 (92), broadcaster Mike Wallace, 1918–2012 (93), journalist Regis Philbin, 1931–2020 (88), television presenter Tommy Lasorda, 1927–2021 (93), baseball player and manager Joyce Carol Oates (wiki), writer. Turning 83 in June. Diagnosed way back in the 1960s! Pat Buchanan (wiki), conservative political commentator and journalist. Turning 83 in November. Open heart surgery to replace a valve in 1992. Mike Ditka (wiki), former American football player and coach turned commentator. Turning 82 in October. Survived a heart attack in 1988 and a stroke in 2012. Peggy Fleming (wiki), former Olympic figure skater. Turning 73 in July. Her father had 3 heart attacks and was dead by the age of 41! Kate Jackson (wiki), actress known for her role in Charlie's Angels. Turning 73 in October. Diagnosed with a heart defect in 1998, underwent surgery to correct it. Victoria Gotti (wiki), writer and TV personality. Turning 59 in November. Pacemaker installed at a young age, went faulty in 2002 and needed replaced. Eddie Griffin (wiki), comedian. Turning 53 in July. Suffered a heart attack in 1998 whilst rehearsing for a show. Put it down to smoking and bad diet. Brian Littrell (wiki), lead singer of the Backstreet Boys. Turning 46 next month. Born with a congenital heart defect, survived a bout of swine flu in the 2000s. Not exactly a high mortality rate so far and 4/5 of those gone were above life expectancy but handy for note keeping/considering future DDP names.

Don Rickles, Regis Philbin, and now Larry King have all gone. Three good friends until the end.

Damn straight! His death is, after all, all about ME. It sucks to see your kids die before you, and it sucks to linger and decline for months/years on end. I work in skilled nursing, so I know this to be true. I'm glad for him that he's released of earthly cares and woes.

Larry King tended to ask easy questions in his numerous interviews, and four teams here answered his "Would I, a frail old guy who also appeared on Hollywood Squares, be a good HPDP pick?" query with a resounding yes. Larry King Now scores for them. Charles De Gaulle gets 45 base points + 27 bonus = 72, Perhaps 30 + 18 = 48, The Daredevil 15 + 9 = 24, and Funeralopolis 25 sub points. Those who had him on their main team will likely get an extra .19 covid points, but I will wait until we get confirmation of his cause of death just to be sure. We have the first scoreboard of the year with Perhaps emerging as the current King with three hits... 1. Perhaps 104 2. Charles De Gaulle 72 =3. CaptainChorizo 50.32 =3. gcreptile 50.32 5. An Fear Beag 50 6. drol 47 =7. Book 45 =7. Eesti 45 9. msc 25.32 10. Funeralopolis 25 11. The Daredevil 24 12. Sean 16 =13. Everyone else 0

It may not last long, but I will enjoy the view from the top, tied for 1st place in the DDP.

And we're off.

Daisy Loongkoonan died off the radar in 2018, @Bibliogryphon and @WEP need change for a sub.

Rather amusingly a Pick for ‘I can’t believe they’re not Deader’.

Good one, that's been bothering me for a few months.

Gregory Sierra, who starred in Barney Miller and Sanford and Son as the neighbor has died at 83. I also remember him from the last season of Soap where he played a Latin American general named El Puerco. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/gregory-sierra-dead-barney-miller-sanford-son-actor-was-83-1215625

Watched some peaky blinders. Got to series 2 episode 3 and gave up. Didn't grab me at all. Now started watching the sopranos from S1 ep1. I'll let you know how far I got/get.

Guardian obit for Cornwell.

Maybe the inauguration just needed to get some better musical talent. He seems pretty happy at Aretha's funeral in late 2018

Politeness was at its height at the White House last night. Loads of people wandering around saying "pardon me"

Feeling let down by Trump's farewells? Disappointed Marine One didn't smack into the Washington Monument? Well, say good bye to Deej in a better way.

Best President since Lincoln...who was so popular he got shot in the head.

I wonder how the vaccine reacted with the daily injections of virgins blood that he gets.
