I once toured his boyhood mansion in Toledo. The tour guide made much of the master bathroom’s shower, with a separate shower head aimed at the master’s buttcrack.
Robert Quackenbush, children’s author best known for Henry the Duck, dead at 91.
Richard Stolley, magazine editor who published stills from the Zapruder film of the Kennedy Assassination and later went on to be the first editor of People Magazine, dead at 92 from heart disease.
Probably didn’t die of a virus…
(read the article – apparently hanged himself – does Peter Norton have an alibi?)
Brian
He was an Epstein-Barr virus carrier. Affects persons nearby with extreme fatigue, needing long breaks from duty to recover. Even attorneys general can be affected.
Greetings from your DeathShroom. As you know, Baker has been dealing with quite a lot, and she recently contacted me, asking if I can cover for her.
Given the “Anything for my DeathMistress” creed, I did my best to catch up and get things updated, but please let me know if I missed any picks… should be up-to-date through Ned Beatty

Thank you so much for stepping up, phungi! That’s so appreciated. Meanwhile, my thoughts are with our sweet Death Mistress Baker at this very sad time.
All hail the Death Shroom!!!
Hail, Shroom!
Hope you’re hanging in there, @Baker.
Mark Peel, pioneering chef of California cuisine who worked with Wolfgang Puck to open Spago and would later start Campanile and La Brea bakery with his (ex-)wife, dead at 66 from cancer.
@phungi looks like you missed twelve of my scores. I’ll give you a little time to catch up.
please be specific, as I do not know what/who I missed…
You missed your leg. He pulled the damn thing right off. If you ask him nicely, he might give it back.
Nicely played! (Misinterpreted “scores” for “points”)
Well played indeed!
