Alright G-d, We understand Johnny Cash, but...

Look, we all knew that The Man in Black[sup]TM[sup] was not long for this world. He was hurtin and no matter how much he had contributed to music, it was his time. But…

WHY JOHN RITTER?

Why’d you have to go and take John Ritter, too? Of all the actors of my childhood, John Ritter is one of the only ones who was still around, still making a difference in the entertainment business.

His new show was “Married with children” without white trash. It was funny. It wasn’t a milestone, but it was 30 minutes of my life that didn’t make me want to E-mail the fucking producers and ask for back(a rarity these days).

Well fuck. Good way to spoil a Friday. :frowning:

Your handle is GaWd, but you won’t spell out ‘God’?

Presumably it was Ritter’s time as well. Why? Because.

3

I will miss him. He really was a fantastic actor. He was absolutely brilliant in “Sling Blade”. He was an icon for my generation.

4

I’m still pissed-off at God about Gilda Radner . . .

5

TVAA- my handle is GaWd because I don’t care to spell out G-d and commit the ultimate Judaic blaspheme…

So much misunderstanding, I think I’ll just change my damned Username to “Just Sam”. Christ.

I’m still teary-eyed about Jeff Buckley . . .

7

But you’ll invoke the name of Christ?

Weird.

Anyway, it is the manifest Will of God[sub]TM[/sub] that you watch nothing but swill on Friday night television. So it is written, so shall it be done.

8

I think the user name Sam Christ will present you with even more problems. Just my opinion.

Anyway, what a sad, sad day.

Apropos of nothing I am double sad not only for Cash and Ritter, but I also found out recently that Joeseph Marques, singer for Winter Hours, one of my faves from the 80s, died of heart failure at age 40. God must be culling entertainers this month…

10

Bicker and hijack on your own time you two…

Warren Zevon
Johnny Cash
AND
John Ritter?

All in one week?
WTF?

That’s just fecking strange.

11

:smack: See? I’m so distraught I can’t even spell Joseph!!!

12

So was Bronson #1 of three or is Ritter #2 and we’re waiting for someone to complete the trifecta?

13

Christ on a pogo stick! How many times will we have to answer this fucking question about why Jews spell it G-d!?

And how is it weird that a Jew won’t spell out God but will spell out Christ. What does one thing have to do with the other?

14

What does “gawd” have to do with “God”?

15

Shut the fuck up. Please. I explained it above and if you can’t understand it, tough.

Sam

16

Me too.

17

Relax. You’re making the Baby Jesus turn over in his grave.

Perhaps you should look at the bright side of life. There must be some other entertainers you enjoy still alive. Why don’t you turn your attention to them?

18

That’s right I forgot about Warren.

Only way this could get weirder is if Corey Haim bought the farm.

19

TVAA- John Ritter’s death isn’t making me cranky, you are. You asked a question, I answered it, then you ignored it. This isn’t a thread about thread titles or usernames. It’s a brief rant about the death of an actor.

Sam

P.S.- I enjoy many living actors, thanks. I don’t even remember saying that John Ritter was my favorite actor…just that his death has touched me. Please don’t read between the lines and make a mountain of a molehill.

Goodbye J-hnny. You’ll be missed.
