Having an afterlife would be a hugely pleasant surprise – for about the first half second until I noticed I was in the middle of a sea of flames. And then the novelty would wear off real quick. 
US Rep. Donald Payne(D-NJ) dead at 77, colon cancer.
Tease.
Rather extreem way to enforce term limits…
Had he told his district in December, he might have been on someone’s list for 23 points (at the most).
The Lipstick Killer has died at 83 after 65 years in prison.
Wheelz, you’re a sick, sick person.
A true Doper to the core!
Fredericksburg, VA, radio personalityBrian Strobelfatally struck by pickup truck.
I live in the area and never heard of him, but I didn’t listen to his station, either.
Jimmy Ellis, lead singer of the Trammps, who had a hit with Disco Inferno, dead at 74, Alzheimer’s.
Gemma McCluskie, British soap actress(EastEnders) murdered at 29.
This lacks punch. “The headless body of Gemma McCluskie found in a canal” would really sell more papers.
Firesign Theater’s Peter Bergman has lost his battle with cancer.
A classic Bergman bit in mp3 form, totally SFW
oops - I meant to type leukemia, not cancer.
That’s very sad for me. I met Bergman once, and worked several times over the course of several years with his Firesign cohort David Ossman
And even worse, he isn’t on your list?
(Where is the handbasket? Is it full yet?)
I’m assuming he’ll be cremated.
There are just so many one liners here that are so funny.
I hope it is a big handbasket.
Artist Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius has died. If you don’t recognize his name, click through to the article - you’ll almost certainly recognize his artwork - especially if you have ever read Metal Hurlant/Heavy Metal magazine anytime in the last almost 40 years.
Why him and not this Disco Inferno? Even though I had neither I would have preferred the latter than the former. Ah, Death Pool, you’re a cruel mistress!
CHaracter actor Leonard Cimino has taken his last bow.
