I’m hanging on to my spot but I haven’t scored for a while.

I am tied with phungi for most unique picks.

He was 98

A good egg and not a bad hat at all, that Mr Phillips.

Ernie Lazar, researcher of extremist organizations who used the Freedom of Information Act more than 10,000 times against the FBI and collected over 600,000 pages of raw data as a result. The Internet Archive is working on archiving all of them.

Also…

Jeff Cook, co-founder of Alabama, dies at 73.

Dan McCafferty, lead singer of Nazareth, dies at 76.

Oh no! I spent many happy hours listening to McCaffertys exquisitely raspy vocals.

A tribute by BBC:

Nazareth singer Dan McCafferty dies, aged 76

Sorry it bothered you, but love hurts.

we are no longer messing with a son of a bitch

When you smash watermelons for a living, you never know which watermelon will be the final watermelon you smash. But now we know Gallagher has, at long last, smashed his last.

Was Gallagher ever funny? I used to laugh when I was a kid seeing his specials on Comedy Central, but I wonder if it was just my ceaselessness.

I always saw him as more of a spectacle, like David Letterman dropping things off of the roof of his building. Difference is, Dave was more than just a spectacle. If I could’ve, I’d have fast-forwarded through Gallagher’s stand-up to get to the smashing part.

Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman, has left Gotham at the age of 66.

Opinions differ. I think his standup was much stronger than his props and fruit. That is until later when he lost his mind and decided to alternate between extreme anger and deliberate offensiveness.

But we still have Gallagher 2.
