Harvey Phillips, tuba legend and founder of Tubachristmas. 
Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guiccione, dead at 79.
Why am I imagining that it’s going to be a veritable orgy of a memorial service?
Bob Guiccione also founded Games magazine, if memory serves.
As I recall it, Games was actually started by Chip Block who eventually sold the magazine to Playboy in the early 80s. It wasn’t until the mid 80s that Penthouse got involved - it was acquired by Omni, which was a Penthouse publication.
That wasn’t an earthquake in CA last night, that was Hef and the Bunnies doing their happy dance.
pity he wasn’t a muslim extremist, because that guy has never seen one virgin, imagine his surprise if he saw 72 at once!
pity he wasn’t a Catholic priest because that guy never laid any alter boys, imagine his surprise when he was cannonized!
:smack: No, this still doesn’t make any sense.
Zsa Zsa Gabor, aged 93
is still alive and kicking, more than two months after receiving Last Rites. In fact, the most recent news stories say she’s on the road to recovery, and she’s now able to consume the blood of virgins (or whatever it is that keeps her going) without the aid of a feeding tube. That Zsa Zsa… takes a licking and keeps on ticking, am I right?
Zsa Zsa could be 2011’s “Conch”. Zelda Rubinstein was this year’s Conch. Patrick Swayze was 2009’s Conch.
Im not going back to see if the “Z” conspiracy goes back to 2008.
See Feud threads for “Conch” definition.
I haven’t looked up the definition, but the most chosen scoring celeb in 2008 was Suzanne Pleshette.
I am spotting a trend! Yikes!
David Thompson, Prime Minister of Barbados.
52 points wasted.
He was on my 2011 proto-list.
If only we knew someone here that actually worked on / for GAMES… :dubious:
Before my time. Guccione, though, definitely wasn’t involved in either the founding of Games or in its actual operation at any time – strictly an investment to him.
Swimmer, Fran Crippen, dead at 26 in
swimming accident.
It still amazes how far “sinful” things reach. I mean Playboy influencing Games, Phillip Morris or another Tobacco company owning Nabisco and Kraft… It makes you wonder if they have some major grasp on psychology that leaves laypeople clueless. I’m not saying that Oreos have nicotine in them, but I would bet its a lot worse than I think.
In my freelancing days, I published an article in Omni once…
