lol - I was trying to prevent a major thread drift - ya know how radar and I can get. I was also being more than a little facetious.

I thought I was respecting the man. He was harassed and pushed around by his government, was held captive for it, and eventually renounced his citizenship over it.

He was a legend. And I respect what he said as well as what he did.

You are incorrect on several points - he was never harassed, nor pushed around, nor held captive by the US - that was Japan. Whatever, don't let the facts get in the way of your argument.

Radar · 01-21-2008, 02:22 PM

Much like every other argument you've attempted to make against me, you are wrong on this one too.

1. He was harassed by the U.S. Government when he told them he would play chess again against Spassky in 1992.

2. He was pushed around when he did it anyway after the government told him not to do it and the government tried to take all of his winnings.

3. He was held captive in Japan because the U.S. Government revoked his passport and told Japan to return him to America.

Oh, no. I can't let that lie go without rebuttal either. You were repeatedly proven wrong and your only hope at saving face is to continually deny the reality. That is fine. I offered to "agree to disagree" remember? Let it go.

I have a feeling this will be Britany Spears year to fill the dead pool.
Probably in a drugged or drunken car crash.

She's be worth a crapload of points.

classicman · 01-21-2008, 04:08 PM

how does the scoring work again?

Radar · 01-21-2008, 04:10 PM

100 minus the age of the deceased = points

Just found another one:

Allan Melvin had so many roles on so many TV shows over the years that it's hard to know where to begin, but I guess the most logical spot would be The Brady Bunch, where he played Sam The Butcher, the guy Alice dated. He was also a regular on The Phil Silvers Show, played Archie Bunker's friend Barney on All in the Family, and also played Rob's army buddy on The Dick Van Dyke Show. He appeared on dozens of other shows over the years, from the Andy Griffith Show (he always played a crook - that's him on the right in the pic) and Gomer Pyle, USMC to Kung Fu and The Banana Splits (he was Drooper).

Edmund Hillary's funeral is on now as I type this message.

Much respect to one of the worlds great adventurers.

Allan Melvin was also the voice of Magilla Gorilla

I read yesterday that AP has pre-written an obit for her, and that they usual only do that for very aged celebrities.

Maybe instead she'll disappear, and 70 years from now, we (or just Ibram and Pierce anyway) will hear of her passing at a mental hospital somewhere.
