Zsa Zsa’s back in the hospital again. Ho hum.
Quoth Div: Who’s she visiting?
Death happens in threes, but I cannot think of three people more dissimilar than Andy Rooney, Joe Frazier, and Heavy D, who died within three days of each other:
Rooney was known as a writer and TV speaker, a member of the WWII generation, lived to be very old.
Joe Frazier, boxer, a member of the Woodstock generation, died middle aged.
Heavy D, rapper, a member of the 1990’s culter, died young.
One thing they had in common. All three died unexpectedly of natural causes. Usually you either have a long deathwatch, like Zsa Zsa Gabor or Steve Jobs, or a surprise death not due to natural causes, like Amy Winehouse or Cory Smoot.
And maybe it’s just my age talking, but is 67 really considered middle-aged?
No, Rooney and Frazier’s death watches had been announced prior to their demises.
Andy Rooney was 117 years old. It’s not like his death was *that *unexpected.
When he got to the Pearly Gates, he told St. Peter, “Death is funny. It’s permanent, but you live on in people’s memories. That reminds me of the time…”
How come we never update this thread when she checks out of the hospital? :eek::D:dubious:
But it was only a week or so before. Not like the usual case where you know somebody’s been ill for months before they die.

I’m betting no one had him. 
Would have been 78 points.
Evelyn Lauder, who worked in her mother-in-law’s makeup firm and founded the pink ribbon breast cancer campaign, dead at 75.
I hold the highest respect for anyone who starts something small to help people that ends up going global.
She is going to kick it one second after Midnight, on 1/1/12. I’m calling it now.
And if so, can I get like a 1,300 point bonus?
And then, I’m just going to laugh at those of you that chose not to pick her next year.
Eh, she’s in her nineties. She’s on my list, but if she lives I’m gonna take her off next year because she’s not worth the space on t, and she’s such a health drama queen.
Charlie Lea, whose baseball career was highlighted by a no-hitter he pitched on Mother’s Day in 1981, has died at the age of 54. Lea was with the Montreal Expos when he threw the “no-no” against the San Francisco Giants.
Karl Slover, one of the last surviving “munchkins” from The Wizard of Oz has died at age 93.
Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna have died in a plane crash along with two others, just 10 months after the school commemorated the 10th anniversary of a crash that killed 10 men associated with the men’s program.
Budke was 50.
No age was give for Serna.
ABC News is reporting that 84 year old Joe Paterno is battling lung cancer.
Guess who’s going to be the Lou Rawls of 2012?
Hell, I’m putting Sandusky on my short list.
You’re not the only one.
