Does it seem like celebrities are croaking at a slower pace this year than last?
Possibly due to the increasing efficacy of celebrity medical science.
It does seem that there are a lot of drain circlers hanging on. Practically my whole list.
I have a Google Alert posted for everyone on my list. I get an update on Farah Fawcett’s ass every damn day.
I can’t believe Swayze is still hanging on. I thought he was supposed to be a goner months ago. Damn incompetent doctors with their incompetent prognoses.
And with the same device I read all the Kennedy news and keep up with Elizabeth Edwards schedule. :rolleyes:
At least your picks are still circling the drain. Mine are actually getting better!
Sculptor Patrick Farrow, brother of Mia, found dead in his art gallery.
Damn the luck!
And yeah, I got Kennedy, I got Swayze. I even got Rovert Novak, but luckily there are no circling vultures issuing daily reports on his brain cancer.
The problem is, if you read the tabloids, everyone is circling the drain: Swayze, Kennedy, Farrah, Liz Taylor. Each one has died a thousand deaths in the supermarket checkout line.
I can forward you my Google Alerts…
:rolleyes:
Ya know, I feel like I’ve died a thousand deaths in supermarket checkout lines through the years. 
Oh, I have one on him, but I don’t get nearly as many reports as I do on Farrah, Patrick and Ted.
I am beginning to think that whole brain cancer thing was just a dodge to take the heat off him for mowing down a pedestrian in his Corvette.
Did I see this in my Google Alert?
I did not.
The man could die and I wouldn’t know it already!
Having read the article, I see the guy was homeless. I remember the comment on TV that the poor shouldn’t be given money because they would spend it on beer and cigarettes.
Son of a bitch.
I just have one for Lillian Jackson Braun as I figure everyone else is famous enough to get mentioned prominently when they die.
To be fair, it happened last summer.
23 so far this year, 26 to this time last year. However, the difference is caused by a recent slowdown. We have had no departees for nearly a month. Up until then, this year was running slightly ahead of last year.
Walter Cronkite may be starting his slow circle.
My first score in almost 2 years…
So zombies are driving corvettes now?
I thought he died years ago.
Tomoji Tanabe, who had been the world’s oldest man, died at the age of 113. Tanabe, a resident of Japan, had attributed his long life to “not smoking and not drinking”.
Dusty Rhodes, whose three pinch hits in the 1954 World Series helped the New York Giants sweep the Cleveland Indians for what is still the Giants’ most recent Fall Classic title, has passed away at the age of 82. Rhodes had been called “the worst fielder who ever played in a big-league game” by manager Leo Durocher, but Durocher also credited the outfielder’s hard-drinking, fun-loving personality with keeping the team “confident and happy”.
