dead Edmund Hillary

[Slave to the Grave 26]

Numb hands. Perhaps he was pretending they were someone elses.

Geromino: Establishing a sperm bank so high would save on hiring freezers but sorting the stuff apart from all the snow would be a bastard of a job, especially with big mittens and the possibility of snow blindness effecting your vision. I think there are reasons these places are in back streets and hospitals.

I wonder if Captain Scott managed one when stuck in his tent? A second successful assault on the pole so to speak. He wasn't getting his Oates after all. A quick "J. Arthur" might have been a nice way to go in the circumstances.

'I'm off to the bog, and I may be some time'

The final words in his diary were - I think - 'for God's sake, think of our people when you're choking the turkey.'

 

Might have got the paraphrasing a little wrong mind.

Hillary planning on visiting Antarctica to mark Scott Bases's 50th anniversary.

Hillary planning on visiting Antarctica to mark Scott Bases's 50th anniversary.

Will he be going in winter time?

Hmm.. thought this was the thread about Hillary & his recent fall etc but it's about masturbation instead. Ah well, fair enough.

 

Anyway, "Pretty frail" Hillary attends event in Christchurch.

 

He looks a lot older than when I last saw him, but he has lost a lot of weight recently - I remember him being quite a chubby chap in recent years. Least he's out & about again after his fall.

"Prepare ye the 'just in case' obit" my source has been instructed. Just in case he pops off over the Christmas break that is.

[HSR3 1]

Doesn't look like a bad choice.

Hang on, isn't there already a thread for this?

[Death Impends 7,953]

Hang on, isn't there already a thread for this?

 

Yes he does.

 

The other thread is located here.

No what I mean was, shouldn't the existing thread be amalgamated. Then again it is early days...

 

[Threads merged - ff]

 

Hooray for that and an eclair for both of us!

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Corked it!

 

Gone unto eternal eve-rest etc.

 

Thought he was looking a bit peaky recently.

 

If I had Tibet, I'd have said he'd go this year.

[Lard Bazaar 3,799]

Woohoo! How exciting! I have a feeling in my water this is going to be a successful year.

[Gunjaman5000 30]

Nice to see a local boy doing so well!

 

 

A very nice man, very sad news.

[The Miser 18]

Woohoo! How exciting! I have a feeling in my water this is going to be a successful year.

 

 

Nipped Suharto at the wire....I expect Sir Edmund to have company at the base camp shortly.

[Grim Reaper 186]

Ahhh very pleasing - just the sort of start that was needed

[Windsor 2,233]

Sir Edmund Hillary (two ls) is the 1st success of 2008.

He is the 161st death since 1987.

The 2008 list is now in 19th place shared with 1987 out of 22 lists.

 

Lets hope Suharto doesn't hang about.

[Banshees Scream 110]

....... Bang! And it's Good Nite Edmund Hillary! The recent photographs of him did not ..... look good by the way. They gave me the same feeling you get when neighbors you can't be associated with are outside!

[jmh8300 2]

If I may quote the GREAT man himself, "Well George, we've knocked the bastard off."

 

What a way to start 2008.

[BrunoBrimley 86]

Dead huh? Well I suppose it does happen.

 

 

Perhaps we can now all sing Eddie's Dead.

 

 

 

Eddie's Dead

That's what I said...

[jmh8300 2]

By the way.... aren't there two Ls in HILLARY?

[BrunoBrimley 86]

Will he be going in winter time?

 

 

 

Apparently he decided to take me seriously.......

[Death Impends 7,953]

The cause of his death: heart attack.
