Tommy Burns is suffering from skin cancer again.I'm prepared to get irate guest abuse about this, but...... good.
He's up there along with Gordon Brown, Mohammed Al Fayed & Robert Mugabe as people I would all like to see leave this earth as quickly as possible.
He's going on my DDP list for next year - I have a spot free now, anyway.
Was Tommy Burns so terrible? In the spring of '98 he took over a Reading club that were already well on their way down to Division 2 (which I believe was Division 3 in the old money), the next season they finished 11th. He got fired the following autumn, and the club went on to finish 10th. As bad as Mugabe?

I've always found this gripe by England fans to be rather churlish. I mean It's not like he sank a boat that wasmoving out of an exclusion zone and killing 300 people was it?
Sailing out of an exclusion zone? Is that like the not interfering with play whilst standing ten miles offside rule which works so well in football. There was a war on.
Fortunately Uncle Rupert was talking sense way back then:

Plus the problem is not with "who started" the war, but with "who behaved live a war criminal?"The answer's fairly obvious...

You ruled Road House
Our main man Patrick,
After Ledger and Renfro
You'd be the hat-trick.
Saved America
From the threat of Red Dawn.
They'll all be sorry
When you're gone.
Your loss is the one
Folks fear the most.
We'd miss you pottering 'round
Like you did in Ghost.
You so damn real,
Ain't no fake
Like those guys in masks
You led in Point Break.
If you died
Your fans would go crazy.
So hang round 'til the holiday
St. Patrick Swayze

If these things happen in twos (they never happen in threes, I checked) this could be a bad omen for Tin Tin, Rin Tin Tin, Tin Tin Out, Tin Machine, or Wu Tang Clan, and it's all Because of Winn Dixie.

It seems no lucky sod managed to select him as a pick on the DDP, that could have been a unique pick.Was there any suggestion at the start of the year he was ill? If not, it would be one heck of a brilliant selection to have included him on a DDP team. Of course, our recent guest who claimed he once ran a dead pool in which you weren't allowed to pick people if they were old or ill probably had him. And Heath Ledger.

Thin ice, Banshees, very thin ice. What say we get this thread back to its stated topic.
To answer SC's question above, according to wiki:
"Almost every state prohibits felons from voting while incarcerated, on probation, or on parole."

I have to say that I wasn't very impressed, especially given how hyped he is as a public speaker. I mean, he wasn't bad, but he wasn't anything special either.Some of this may also be due to the fact that he's apparently been told by the Hillary campaign to tone it down a bit, as by coming across as super charismatic it only highlights the fact that she isn't. Reminds me a bit of the Seinfeld episode where George asks Jerry to stop being funny around a woman George is trying to impress so as to keep the limelight for himself.

General Dan Shomron, who masterminded the raid on Entebbe, subject of at least two cheesy 1970's movies, and the climactic scene in The Last King of Scotland.

I think the way to neutralise this is for the left to convince Ron Paul to stand as a Libertarian independent. That should square things up nicely...Or someone could just kill Ralph Nader.

I thought some more birds were going to become extinct last night with all the squawking and chirping in the aftermath on the great British earthquake. Did anyone else feel the earth move for them around 1 o'clock this morning?

Saw Cloverfield last night. Excellent popcorn flick - Blair Witch meets Godzilla on 9/11. There were a few times when it's doubtful that the guy would have kept the camera rolling, or been allowed to do so, but given a giant mystery monster was trashing Manhattan one's disbelief was already well suspended at that point.
7 1/2 out of 10.

Man Idiot dies in fairy-cake-eating record attempt.Which just goes to prove, you can't have your cake and ea... zzzzz
The person who served it to him has been charged with a tort.

On a serious note.....shouldn't we combine this thread with my own little 'fringes of fame' number?No, the people listed here were, for a brief shining moment, really famous, either in their home country or worldwide, and "truly earned Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame". I doubt anyone had heard of or will remember any of the people in that other thread MPFC, who were a bit too far out on the fringes of fame.

Trawling the net earlier I came across an article which mentioned Sacheen Littlefeather, who went onstage to accept Marlon Brando's best actor Oscar for The Godfather.
It got me thinking about a few others who truly earned Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame, and not a moment more.
Rosie Ruiz
Kato Kaelin
Michael Knighton
I bet he can't keep it up much longer
Lisa Nowak
Other suggestions for the list welcomed. It would be interesting to see which, if any, get UK obits when they die

I sure hope so!Welcome to the DL, Vaagheid! If you could possibly make your sig a little shorter it would ease the strain on my mouse-roller finger. Thanks!
p.p.s. 'corpses of' (belonging to) would be better than 'corpses off' (removed from). Thanks.
Yes, indeed, welcome VH. With an awesome nominee like "Monster of Loch Ness", and new information that said monster died early in 20th century, I think we'll like the cut of your jib just fine around here.
I don't understand the Dutch message in the p.p.p.s, but language SC!

I stand corrected, if we're to believe this actually happened.
Not that we'd really know for sure one way or the other. Just like the "moon landings".
-
Just seen "There will be blood." Excellent film, three hours long, Day Lewis has his best actor Oscar in the bag. The scene at the end is the Big Lebowsky meets the Godfather. I will say no more.Agreed, although maybe more The Untouchables than Godfather. I love a happy ending.

Has decided to recreate Marilyn Monroe's last (naked) photoshoot. http://nymag.com/It's getting a bit like "I'm Spartacus."
Exhaustive research resulted in the discovery of the attached picture that I believe is the subject matter of this pointless little article, which every media outlet in the world seems to have felt compelled to publish. Caution, it is very NSFW.
One might question the credibility of the so-called Marilyn Monroe expert if he actually thought this was her. For one thing, those Manolo Blahnik's weren't introduced until ages after her death.

In a stunning revelation, MI6 have claimed they didn't kill Diana.
Now, if she'd died whilst grabbing a metal edged bowler hat stuck to a fuse box....
This judge makes Lance Ito look like a courtroom enforcer.

The 2008 leader for the great British parenting skills abroad award is coming under criticism from the Indian police.
Where were the Tandoori 7?
At the risk of sounding like a Daily Mail reader, the police have a point. The poor kid was 15, apparently not in school, left more or less on her own in Goa while her mother travelled round the country. Just like dear old mumsy (who had eight other kids) she had her face pierced, according to one witness had taken LSD, ecstasy and cocaine, and was last seen drunk in a bar the night she was murdered.
