One thing to point out for @Baker - it looks like my 11 points are missing for Lou Holtz (post 850). May be the only points I see this year.
His New York Times obituary quoted a review from Time Magazine: “He is the most successful really terrible actor since Audie Murphy.”
Blanks died on Monday the 16th. I just didn’t see the notice until today.
Brendan’s death bothers me. My daughter named her son after his character Xander.
Terrible. Just a year after Michelle Trachtenburg.
Just days after the Buffy sequel series was cancelled.
Pro wrestler “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey of the famed Midnight Express (with “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton and managed by Jim Cornette) has died at 74.
Just noticed Robert Mueller died yesterday.
Only a celebrity in musicological circles, but Dr Bonnie Blackburn passed away yesterday. Wikipedia hasn’t even approved the amendment to the article yet.
She was a friend of the spouse and a lovely woman I met a few times in passing, as well as a highly respected Oxford scholar of medieval and Renaissance music.
She is survived by her second husband Leofranc Holford-Strevens, also a respected Oxford scholar (of classics), and incidentally a man fluent in 40 languages. Blackburn’s first husband was Edward Lowinsky, also an amazing scholar.
Comic book creator Sam Kieth has died at 63.
He died last week but I just saw the notice of it.
Pain lasts, kid. It’s how you know you’re alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management.
I never liked his artwork. Not saying he wasn’t a talented artist, but it just didn’t…sing…to me, if that makes sense.
Sucks that he died, though.
How did Hoopy Frood have 22 people die? and for only 85 points?
Don’t ask about the nursery incident…
Mike Melville, test pilot of SpaceShipOne, went West March 19:
Brian
“Miss TeschMACHER!!!”
Lower your…flag… to half staff today.
LOL, with that score it must be a nursing home incident, actually.
Seriously, Hoopy Frood and I are right next to each other in the standings. We’re both at 19 with 85 points each. I’m above him in the score chart because of alphabetical order. The chart says that I have only 1 person, but I know that I have 2. The 2 that’s supposed to be in my row must have slid down next to Hoopy Frood’s 2.
C.S. Lewis died on November 22, 1963.
