The wrong Eagle died! Steve Van Buren gone at the age 9 points.
I can’t find anything official, but on the radio this morning they announced that Jerry Nelson, voice of the Count died, at TWENTY-TWO, TWENTY-TWO points, blah ha ha [thunder and lightning]

My bad. I was forced to listen to KidsFM in the car for two hours today and during his never-ending song I wished him dead.
And I’d do it again, I tells ya.
No! He was one of the few Muppeteers I recognize! And he was Herry Monster! And Mr. Snuffleupagus! AND SHERLOCK HEMLOCK!
All those classic Muppets, gone to the big storage closet in the sky. 
My inner child is sad now.
Caroll Spinney (Big Bird) is also 78. Frank Oz is 68. These guys are getting up there. 
and one of my favorites - Sgt. Floyd Pepper (I was in my teens before I made the connection about why Floyd is the color he is - think about it…)
Obit for Jerry nelson: http://www.toughpigs.com/jerry-nelson-1934-2012/
Interstingly he was Dr. Strangepork

So then I said, “says you!” and then he said “damn straight.” So then I went
over and told the other guy that he was wrong to think that, but he then stated that you are in the wrong for thinking that other thing in the first place, so I then went back to him and said what you said and he said that couldn’t possibly be true unless you said that other thing to that other guy in that other place at the other time. So anyway, to make a non-story even longer, you have no idea what you’re talking about, but please feel free to comment. So how dry is it by your house anyway? It is plenty dry here.
Like many Americans, I am underemployed.
Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the Death Pool!
Are you the Death Mistress’ Sergeant at Arms or Public Relations Co-ordinator?
Just a concerned citizen, sir; at your service.
Paint my house?
Hoist on that petard, wasn’t I?
You coming over, or shall we just meet a Lowe’s?
You know, your DeathMistress doesn’t need her house painted but I could use some yard work.
Oh, to have my very own Sergeant At Arms/Public Relations Coordinator/Yard Guy/Hit Man.
Sigh.
Hmmm, Hit Man.
That would be useful…
The voice of the “Count” on sessame street has died.
That’s one, one dead sessame street voice talent… (clap) hahahahahahahaha!
Been there, done that:
Aug 23, 2012 - Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the great Eagles of all time, Steve Van Buren, has passed away due to pneumonia at the age of 91.
