Robert Schimmel, worth 40 points.
And when they say “All sales are final”, they MEAN it.
G-d’s taking notes about things like that this time of year, you know.
Not to totally sap the fun out of the game … but damn, what a bummer. That guy was funny. Not to mention that he beats cancer – where he was told he would survive it – only to go out this way.
This will have to go in the Which celebrity death really affected you when you first heard about it? thread.
Which sounds like zero fun defined. I never heard of Schimmel, and looking at the quick obit, I can see why. Generally speaking, whenever I hear that so-and-so died, my first reaction is “I thought he died years ago.”
I sure hope I never get to a point that any celebrity death actually affects me beyond a “Hey, I liked that guy” level. Most of these clods I have a hard time seeing as being celebrities in the first place. Howard Stern still has a job? Who knew?
Aren’t you a little ray of sunshine.
Well, then clearly you are obviously much superior to the rest of us. Now scurry on your little way and let the rest of us plebes have our fun discussing our trivial little interests, if you don’t mind.
Wow, is this a joke? Because I don’t get it. I admit to not knowing who’s dead or alive, thus making this game more difficult than you’d imagine, but you’re taking it to mean I’m somehow snubbing the players here? How does that even work?!?
Giant hay bale kills former ELO cellist Mike Edwards, 62.
:eek:
It means something, but trying to figure the what, will drive you crazy.
The state of North Carolina is trying to ban round bales like the one that killed Mr. Edwards. The reason: the cows can’t get a square meal…
An ELO member died!
…from being crushed by a giant bale of hay, wtf?
Well, it’s a switch from the usual drug/alcohol overdose that carries off a lot of rock and pop stars.
Death by hay bale. Now that should cheer anyone up.
Better than death by Snoo Snoo.
I told my Rabbi that the Memphis Rabbinate had declared that cattle fed with rounded bales would no longer be considered Kosher because they wouldn’t get a square meal. He was angry for a bit that I could tell a joke worse than any of his.
Are you kidding? Death by snoo snoo is the only way to go!
Musician autopsy reports are different than normal reports. They consist of only two lines.
Means of death: OVERDOSE
Type of overdose: HAY
Sure, for country singers. I thought it was heroin for all the others.
Glen Shadix dead at 58, best known as Mayor in Nightmare before Christmas and as Otho in Beetlejuice.
Cue funeral music:
Gonna jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, turn around, pick a bale of hay…
