I think there is something wrong with anyone who takes any more than a passing notice of a celebrity death. You don't know them. They sure as HELL don't know you. You can have the work they did forever.

The hell you say. I was genuinely sad when we lost Vince Flynn because that also meant the end of Mitch Rapp and a new sure thing book every year on or around my birthday. Same with Crichton and Robert B. Parker. Losing a favorite author is almost like losing an old friend.

I'd feel the same way if any cast member of Modern Family died. You can have the work they did forever, but you can't have any new work.

Vince Flynn isn't dead. He knew too much. He's in a cell, in some rendition county somewhere, waiting on the REAL Mitch to come save his ass...


Plus, his books have become predictable, dime novel crap.

Yep. And as for feeling a moment of sadness even when it's someone as obscure as Tom Laughlin... if you react to learning of their death than that person made some sort of impression on you and it's only natural to take a moment to reflect. For me, Tom Laughlin's Billy Jack character was kick ass and my earliest memories of recognizing that a virtuous man was a sexy man and it was a trait worthy of notice. Hell he was "Chuck Norris cool" before there was a Chuck Norris cool.

Standing in line at the grocery store yesterday I saw one of those tabloids, had a bunch of celebs on the front that are supposedly on their death beds. Willie Nelson, Michael Caine, Mary Tyler Moore and several others. I'm thinking these folks are going to live several more years just because this stupid magazine says they are dying.

Yesterday Sid Ceasar passed away. Didn't see anything on here about it so I just put it here. He was a great entertainer, a funny man indeed.

He was 91. September 8, 1922 – February 12, 2014

And another. RIP Papa Walton:

The man who played the patriarch on CBS’ long-running series The Waltons has died. Ralph Waite was 85. He starred for nine seasons on the Depression-era drama as John Walton Sr., who eked out a living at the family lumber mill on Walton’s Mountain. He scored an Emmy nom for the role in 1978 and also directed more than a dozen episodes of the hourlong series, which ran from 1972-81 and was followed by a series of telefilms.

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the present time, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed .Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in, and thats when the trouble started.....

Somehow I feel he would have appreciated the pun.
