Philly-area only: long-long-long time radio talk show host "Evil" Irv Homer, dead at 85.

I loved Irv. Met him a few times at Libertarian dinners, and he was always awesome.

I just heard about this. I called into his talk show a number of times - looooooong ago. Another great one gone.

Farah, Ed & Michael are all very sad...

But the ones who hit me the hardest... Gene Roddenberry, Jimmy Doohan & DeForrest Kelley. But then, I'm a huge ST fan, so there you have it.

This might help

Careful though... it's a time-sink.

No longer POWERED BY THE AIR YOU BREATHE!

:(

WTF SHAMWOW!!!

I've got my dad's old Thermalite beer mug with that Farrah picture on it. I wonder if it's worth anything now?

That's Vince Shlomi.;)

Much as it sucks to have someone die, I am not going to miss Billy Mays yelling at me on TV.

Crazy:

Who is next?

It is strange, as I caught him on local Tampa TV news just last night being interviewed after his plane blew a tire on the runway during landing at TPA. He was remarkably soft spoken, so while it looked exactly like the bearded pitchman usually hawking some miracle putty adhesive, he wasn't yelling and therefore my brain couldn't accept that it was Billy Mays on TV.

strange rush of dying celebs lately. this probably means that Armageddon is just around the corner.


let's all have sex just in case.

Taken care of in the toad household this afternoon :D

Pictures, we want pictures.:p

(972): they say celebs die in threes. leave it to billy mays to throw in one extra COMPLETELY FREE!

I'm guessing that the Jackson family had something to do with Billy Mays' death. They know it's going to take one hell of a sales pitch to get Michael through the gates.

you guys are too funny :lol:

Most of you are too young to remember Gale Storm but she makes death #2 for this week. One of my sister's was named after her.

And we already have #3 as well. Fred Travalina. A very funny guy.

I'm sorry to report, and I just caught this on the news, Michael Jackson died. Thought you all would want to know.

Who's Michael Jackson?

He had some hits in the 70s and 80s and 90s. Kind of a 9,001 Hit Wonder.

Billy Mays???? I'm crushed.

Wonder if they'll use the Awsome Auger to dig his grave.

I'm glad I'm not a celebrity

I know the press missed it, like it missed Michael Jackson, but did anyone see that Anna Nichol Smith is dead? Glad Shawnee and I are here to keep the Cellar up to date.:)

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Shawnee, you ignorant slut.

As a result of MJ's death, McDonald's will honor him with a limited edition burger called the McJackson.

50 year old meat between 12 year old buns. No sauce.

That's the news. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

The Discovery Channel is actually airing a "Pitchmen" marathon, today, complete with touching memorial bumpers for the commercial breaks and a "Billy Mays 1958 - 2009" logo in the corner of the screen that includes a picture of him giving his trademark thumbs-up.

Just heard that Karl Malden died today. I liked him as an actor.

Karl Malden is still alive.

Um, well, yeah. No.

--CNN Breaking News

Oh, and I caught "A Streetcar Named Desire" a few months ago on television, and loved seeing it again. I've always been a fan of Vivien Leigh...but that entire cast was STELLLLLAAARRRRRRRR.

RIP Karl

Then someone needs to stop the burial!

Click photo to enlargeKarl Malden in 1950. Malden, a former steelworker who won an Oscar for his... (AP Photo / file)«12345»Los Angeles » The family of Karl Malden says the actor who won an Oscar for his role in "A Streetcar Named Desire" has died at age 97.

Malden's family informed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences of his death on Wednesday. Malden served as the academy's president from 1989-92.

He made his screen debut in the 1940 movie "They Knew What They Wanted," and was praised for his role as Mitch in the 1951 classic "A Streetcar Named Desire."

His greatest fame came as Detective Mike Stone in the 1970s TV series "The Streets of San Francisco," in which he co-starred with Michael Douglas.

Malden also was a pitchman for American Express in a series of commercials airing over 21 years.

I always thought he had a funny nose. But I was fine with it.

Funny strange or funny haggis, like a clown?

:::CBOL:::

I guess he finally left home without them.

I guess you got it on your news feed before I did.

So, does that mean you had a constant news feed telling you that Karl Malden was still alive... or you just immediately contradicted Sheldon for no reason other than you hadn't heard it yet, so it must not be true?

Yeah...I wondered too. :lol:

My news feed was cnn.com.

Mollie Sugden died (Mrs Slocombe in "Are You Being Served?")

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8129617.stm

No!

She didn't even feature on my Death List.
Not being selfish, just expressing surprise.

She outlived Miss Brahms though. Who'da thunk it?

Persistence and I are just trying to work out if there is any of the cast of "Are you being served?" left alive?

Edit:Just checked the article,Frank Thorne is still alive,thought I read he'd died about 4 years ago.

Josephine Owaissa Cottle (Gale Storm), and if you don't know who that is, get the hell off my lawn. :p

Robert McNamara wrote later that he and others had not asked five basic questions: "Was it true that the fall of South Vietnam would trigger the fall of all Southeast Asia? Would that constitute a grave threat to the West's security? What kind of war — conventional or guerrilla — might develop? Could the U.S. win with its troops fighting alongside the South Vietnamese? Should the U.S. not know the answers to all these questions before deciding whether to commit troops?"
He never considered the question "Can a bunch of eggheaded nerds micromanage a war half a world away better than the Generals whose expertise they were ignoring?" The world is better off without Robert McNamara.

Trevor Bannister, Nicholas Smith, and Mike Berry are still alive.

I hope that motherfucker rots in hell. nuff said.

I am with you on that one. I'm sure he's hanging out with Jesse Helms, Hitler, Nixon, and Reagan right now.

are you sure they're all dead? :p

Over here, Radar. ;)

What about the Kennedys and LBJ Radar?

Jeff Goldblum

Oh, wait...

Yeah - I saw this live on the Today show and called my BF who told everyone in his office. Dont I JUST look so credible now.

how funny to be at home watching people talk about you thinkinng your dead.
*shiver*

A Truly great man has died
 

I wonder if they bury him, cremate him or just slice him up:

Oscar Mayer

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Wisconsin-based meat processing company that bears his name, has died at the age of 95.

Mayer's wife, Geraldine, said he died of old age Monday age at Hospice Care in Fitchburg.

He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer Foods, which was once the largest private employer in Madison. His grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died in 1955 and his father, Oscar G. Mayer Sr., died in 1965.

Mayer retired as chairman of the board in 1977 at age 62 soon after the company recorded its first $1 billion year. The company was later sold to General Foods and is now a business unit of Kraft.

Mayer's first wife, Rosalie, died in 1998. He married Geraldine Fitzpatrick in 1999.

My baloney has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R.
My baloney has a second name, it's M-E-Y-E-R.

and if you ask my why, I'll say,
that Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
