Re: Dead!!!!

Losing Peter O'Toole really saddens me. The Lion in Winter is one of my all time favorites, as is Lawrence of Arabia. I said to my wife that he certainly got his money's worth out of life, and it occurred to me that he probably got a few other folks money's worth too. Geez he lived hard for a lot of years. A great man.
 
Re: Dead!!!!

Surprised this isn't already posted. Al Goldstein, porn pioneer. That makes two porn legends (Harry Reems the other) in the past year or so.

He used to have a rant show on satellite (Big Ugly Dish days). IIRC he would end the show flipping the bird.

Another fun view in the BUD days was Dr.(?) Gene Scott who would sit in front of the camera smoking a cigar and pontificate on the Bible. Then we'd see him riding horses or in front of a whiteboard drawing all sorts of stuff proving that it rained for 39 days, not 40 during the Great Flood.

Great entertainment. Beat the heck out of today's reality shows.

Molhem Barakat

He was a photographer who took a series of 'life on the street' photos in Lebanon and other places. He was killed while covering ongoing battles at Al-Kendi hospital in Aleppo, Syria. He was 17.

Long time Indy Car owner Andy Granatelli, 90

He used to do the STP commercials himself. Including a famous one where he posed with Takamiyama, the first non-Japanese to win a sumo tournament (in 400 years). Even the massive Hawaiian born sekitori couldn't get a grip on a screw driver after it was dipped in the slippery stuff. "Andy san."
 
Re: Dead!!!!

The helmet thing, IMO, is debateable. I started wearing one this season, but I think they may just encourage people my age or younger to push themselves even further on the slopes, and onto runs they're not ready for. Helmet or not, there's already a fair amount of assumed risk once you're in any area with trees, cliffs, and exposed rocks.
 
Re: Dead!!!!

I saw this on Eddie Murphy but since I haven't seen anything else I tend to think its bogus:
