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.

Billy Redden, who played the banjo boy, has a GoFundMe up to pay mounting medical bills from an undisclosed medical condition(s). It’s mentioned that he was compensated very little for the film and has worked at a Wal-Mart for the past seven years.

The bill was named after his son who died of respiratory illness in 2006, not him. Also this happened in January.

I have no idea how popular it was in the UK, and I also assume you are over 35 years old.

Unless the pope dies this year this will probably be the most mourned worldwide death this year. Every boy in my generation had a phase as a child where they were insanely into DBZ, and its popularity across Japan, the English speaking world, and Latin America cannot be understated.

A little-known fun fact is that Tippi Hedren did a lot of work with resettling Vietnamese refugees in the 70’s and 80’s and at one point got her manicurist to teach a group of them how to do nails. Those of you across the Atlantic might not be aware but today almost all nail salons in the United States are operated by Vietnamese immigrants, and we have Tippi to thank.

Can’t believe Mongo outlasted one of his fellow Horsemen. RIP to a man who was a bitter old prick in wrestling long before it was fashionable.

This and Toyman from Smallville are what I remember him most as.

On the newest Jim Cornette podcast it’s briefly mentioned that Ole Anderson is “not in a condition to talk on camera”, whilst discussing future Dark Side of the Ring episodes. Assumedly due to Ole’s advanced MS.

Don’t think he would have taken his own life if he was the sole care-giver for his elderly father.

“There’s still a little meat on that bone!”

The most popular music video on YouTube right now, Nothing to Declare by MGMT, stars Inga Petry, a 24 year old woman who was born without arms, going about her day. For the interests of this forum, Petry was recently diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer and has a GoFundMe up.
