Celebrity Death Pool 2014

I remember him mainly from Seinfeld.

He’s been playing Carrie’s dad on Homeland. :frowning:

He was definately That Guy. Never knew his name until today but he did a good job in everything he did. RIP Slimy Sectretary of Defense from Independence Day.

When Eric Flint started his 1632 series I tried to visualize the faces of the characters as they were described, and Rebhorn was, for me, the face of John Simpson, who went from an unlikeable bastard to a respected character(if not loved) as the leading naval officer of the USE.

Just know she’s holding her right hand to her forehead in the shape of an “L” as she types that.

What are we, in junior high? Sheesh, people.

Dave Brockie, AKA Oderus Urungus of GWAR, found dead


Dave Brockie, frontman for the heavy metal band GWAR, has been found dead in his Richmond, Va., home at age 50.

That one hurts…Carry On, Scumdog.

What did “GWAR” stand for, anyway? In The Watchmen it stood for, IIRC, “Gay Women Against Rape”. Is the band name an Alan Moore reference?

According to wikipedia:
[QUOTE=wikipedia]
Despite various explanations that Gwar is an acronym for something (such as “God what an awful racket”), band members have consistently stated that the letters do not stand for anything. The official website of Slave Pit Inc. indicates that Gwar is a shortened version of “Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh”, the name the band used originally when opening up for Death Piggy.

Live fast, die young, leave a grotesque looking corpse.

Or as I saw someone say in a comment, there goes next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

That is officially the best cover of a 70s rock song I have ever heard.

Actress Patrice Wymore, widow of Errol Flynn, dies at age 87

Here’s the Washington Post obit on James Rebhorn. http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/james-rebhorn-character-actor-dies-at-65/2014/03/23/2fec11f4-b2b4-11e3-8cb6-284052554d74_story.html

Actually, Brockie wasn’t that much of a party animal (comparatively). His roommate found him Sunday sitting up in a chair, no drugs or any other substances i with him. I didn’t know him, but I have a lot of friends that did. There’s a surprising amount of overlap between the Richmond and Norfolk music scenes.
