Don't forget The Courtship of Eddie's Father. One of Mrs. Dar's favorites.

I saw Vinnie Paul at Sam's the other day. You don't really know what to say anymore.

He also played Superman's father in the original 1970s TV series.

I loved him in Pocketful of Miracles.

I think he produced that on too, Shawnee. :cool:

He played Pa Kent in the first of the Superman movies with Chris Reeve. Young Clark Kent was portrayed by a local boy, Jeff East, in that film. Saw the kid in a high school play once back in the day.

The original TV series of Superman was in the 50's, starring George Reeves as the super guy.

I loved A.I.C.

I was shattered that he died lonely and alone. The fact that nobody checked up on him was doubly stark and lonely. Seemingly having so much but ultimately when it mattered having nothing at all.

Just mentioning Freddie Mercury again, cause I'm all psyched for his birthday.

What did you get him, Ibram? :eek:

Whoops. Yeah, uh, that's what I meant. :)

's okay. Supe was my favorite superhero as a child, until I discovered Marvel.

Steve Irwin, "Crocodile Hunter" died this morning after being struck in the chest by a Sting Ray's barb.

The animal kingdom has lost its greatest and most enthusiastic conservationist.
Crikey.

1) JFK
2) Pim Fortuyn
3) Jim Clarke

Steve Irwin has flirted with death for years, but I guess he never expected it came from a sting ray.

Yeah. This, even though Steve Irwin died doing what he does best, is a bummer.

This one may not mean much outside of Kansas City, but here...it means a great deal.

Today, one of the greatest promoters of baseball that has ever lived, Buck O'Neill, passed away in a Kansas City hospital at the age of 94. Buck had, in recent years, become a one man machine whose major purpose was to firmly cement the memory of Negro Leagues Baseball in the minds of the American public.

There couldn't have been a better individual than Buck for this job. If you've heard of him, it is probably in connection with him having been rejected for admission to Cooperstown this past Spring by a single vote, and the subsequent public swell of support for reconsideration and a much-deserved spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Buck was a Kansas City treasure, a tangible piece of our history, a link to our past, and a fine example of a human being. We're gonna miss him awful bad.
