I saw the headline only--what kind of a stroke did he have anyway?

I heard he fell while having a seizure and hit his head

and boy, there were sure a bunch of unhappy and dysfunctional people that came out of Different Strokes. Makes me wonder about it and the people behind it.

a diff'rent one?

ouch :lol: ouch :lol: ouch

Clappity clap clap clap.

I had to endure an entire night of short life jokes from the cow orkers.

That, however, is brilliant.

Won't get much play outside of the Philadelphia area, but another piece of our childhood has passed ... Wee Willie Webber (a DJ on a local Top 40 station, but also the host of afternoon children's TV programming, including introducing us all to the wonders of Ultraman) died this week.

Art Linkletter

Dennis Hopper has left the building.

that really is a bummer. Hope you have fun in the afterlife, Dennis!

There have certainly been a lot of them this year - is anyone scoring in the pool?

Been there, done that. lol!!

I just watched Blue Velvet, had forgotten Hopper's great role in that.

My grandma had an Art Linkletter's Kids Say the Darndest Things book. I read that thing cover to cover, a few times, after I first found it hiding in a part of the closet that had just a handful of books. A treasure of a find!

RIP to both.

I just visualized an unholy mashup of Art Linkletter's Kid's say the darndest things with Frank Booth. I'm going to think of puppies now.

Never mix Lynch and Darn Things Said. :headshake

lots of weird and mysterious celebrity (or near-celebrity) deaths recently. What's up with Ted Koppel's son? Goes on a fatal drinking binge? Parties with a strange man (a waiter, no less) when he has a girlfriend and a new baby? Has a roommate at 40 years of age? I guess he's gonna carry that big L on the forehead into the afterlife.
