Louis CK ABSOLUTELY the WORST 'comic' on the circuit. Please post a one liner that I'm supposed to laugh at. Truly un-funny. Great pick DrZ SC

Really? None of you UK blokes mentioned Trevor Bannister (5 years)? Break w tradition to give one last nod of appreciation to Percy Sledge, who died this day last year.

My heart is broken. As a child and into my teens I spent hundreds of untold hours listening to Detroit Tigers games on my transistor radio under my pillow when I was supposed to be sleeping, listening to the greatest broadcast team in baseball, Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey. ​Paul Carey has died today at 88. ​RIP SC

Harvey Ball turned his creation--the smiley (face)--upside down when he died 15 years ago.

Clearly glory hounding to start a thread, not to mention this cat isn't deserving of one. SC

News that's 5 minutes old: Howard Hokie Gajan, a football presence in Louisiana for more than 40 years, died Monday. For the past 15 years, Gajan was the analyst of New Orleans Saints broadcasts on WWL-AM, but he was an all-state back at Baker High School and later a productive back at LSU under Charlie McClendon and Jerry Stovall. He went from being a 10th-round draft choice the 249th pick in 1981 to a prominent runner with the Saints under Bum Phillips and Jim Mora. Gajan was diagnosed with cancer last year, and his daughter Kristin Gajan Sell told WWL Radio on Monday morning that Gajan had been moved to intensive care. RIP, big loss to Who Dat nation.

Why is this posted in Hospitalised?

Hearts, Moons, Stars, Clovers. And Caskets. Here's his work from 1972:

Douglas not mentioned anywhere in that obit. I'm not wrong, it's definitely her...look up The Peerage Page on her, the Sunday Express article where she comments on her son Dominick, etc etc. Don't get all defensive. First, if you've posted something that doesn't buttress the point being proferred, you've presented incompetent evidence. Sounds like it's the Peerage Page that you needed to link to then. The onus isn't on anyone else to go 'look up' anything. As for an article that talks about her discussing her son, again If it doesn't mention her FATHER it fails to make your point and the only reason she would be posted in this thread. I've no fucking idea who Douglas Fairbanks GRANDCHILDREN are. Now before you respond Y-Dub, re-read my first four words. SC

How come no one informed me about this guy?SC Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori, who is serving a 25-year prison term for corruption and human rights violations, has been hospitalized, officials said Monday, the latest in a string of health crises. Fujimori, 77, was transferred under heavy guard Sunday to a clinic in the capital Lima for a gastric problem and bleeding on his tongue, where he has had a recurring cancerous lesion. Peru's former president, Alberto Fujimori, was transferred from his prison cell to a hospital on Wednesday to undergo neurological tests after feeling dizzy and briefly losing the strength in his legs, his doctor said. Hmmm, medical issues coming in bunches now. Will he see 2017? His name is on the front of my 2017 tickler file, I cannot lie.

Ronnie "The King" Davis died Sunday from injuries sustained Saturday in a crash during a drag racing event at Rockingham Dragway. The track said Sunday that the 66-year-old Davis, from Suwanee, Georgia, had completed a final qualifying run in the PDRA Spring Nationals when his 1963 Corvette turned left and shot across the track in front rival Mark Malcuit's car. Davis' car cleared the right-side guardwall and barrel-rolled. I felt it my obligation to post this story about barrel rolling a vehicle, given my recent past. I feel your pain bro.
