Hunter S. Thompson, Bill Hicks and George Carlin. If there were anyone in the world left with half their intelligence and wit, I would be happy.

Man, I just found out that Martin Gardner passed in May 2010.

I need to make a new flexagon.

We lost Blake Edwards. :(

I join you in your :(

Thank you Mr Edwards, for your wonderful films (Breakfast at Tiffany's, the Pink Panthers, Days of Wine and Roses [so powerful]) and also for providing such fine vehicles for Henry Mancini music.

Captain Beefheart.
He played his balls off at the Spectrum in Philly, only to be dissed by the crowd waiting for Jethro Tull.

Steve Landesberg, most famous, I guess, as Detective Arthur Dietrich on "Barney Miller".

I've always just loved this guy's dry, deadpan delivery.

He also did a great Gregory Peck.



Fuck cancer.

"Recreational mathematics"? Fuck that.

So recreational that even I enjoyed them.

I have a high degree of math anxiety.

Undertoad 12-24-2010 02:15 PM
Damn... Detective Arthur Dietrich was always my favorite character.

I agree with wolf. Man, it's *all* mathematics. You might as well have fun.

Numbers have never sat still for me. They move around. I can add and shit, but, when it's time to use the sums, or check the work, nobody else sees the numbers I saw when I looked at them.

Pete Postlethwaite - noted English actor.
Died aged only 64.
Probably best know internationally for The Usual Suspects, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Brassed Off.

Gravdigr 01-03-2011 07:02 AM
Ah shit!! I liked that guy's characters, every one I ever saw him portray.

from IMDB:

Quote:
Steven Spielberg called him "The best actor in the world".


ETA: Fuck cancer.
