Many younger forum-goers might also recognize his voice from the cartoon Over the Garden Wall, which is a wonderful thing to put on and watch this Halloween if anyone has never seen it.

The vast majority of zoos, at least here in the US, are accredited wildlife conservation organizations that largely only showcase animals that lack the ability to survive in the wild if they were released. The image of zoos being little better than circuses in how they treat their animals is very outdated IMO.

Looking at recent clips of him, the man’s complexion was dark red going on deep purple. Doesn’t take a coroner to hazard a guess at cause of death.

RIP. One of my favorite line-reads ever: https://youtu.be/TKvHHl5iJek?si=NdKzeYNE__UyBbBj

Jones was, unless someone can correct me, the last surviving cast member of Dr. Strangelove.

Lou Ferrigno somehow looks better at 72 than he did 20 years ago. Not one to appear on any lists any time soon. https://x.com/rexkwondo92/status/1822076007542575109

Hell of a way to learn I had a member of Apollo 8 living just a few miles from me.

You seem obnoxious and pedantic.

Sam Butcher - the “artist” behind Precious Moments, the company that makes those little tacky porcelain figurines of children that your grandma probably owned - has died at the age of 85.

Probably not a household name but anyone can just read his list of credits and gain a sense of how major his impact on the sound of the 90’s was.

No idea if the popularity of Bar Rescue has at all translated to the UK - personally it’s my go-to “Stuck in a hotel room and have to watch something” show. But to the point - host Jon Taffer has taken several episodes off this season with seemingly no explanation. Taffer will be 70 in November, and every thing about his lifestyle and persona screams “massive heart attack before 80”

Mike Pinder being reported dead, per his son on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/1578796998999036/permalink/3660278857517496/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

2004 is now the oldest US election with both candidates and their running mates still alive.

I think the opinion of most people post the Kiss heyday of the early 80’s on Gene Simmons is that he is an absolute colossus of an asshole.

He’s just a guy who had to climb into an iron lung every night. Absolutely not going to get a NYT obit.
