I read that earlier elspode. He was great. I loved his part in Shawshank Redemption.

Brooks was here.

Goodbye, Paul Harvey! I'll miss ya. Good day!

Shawnee123 · 02-28-2009, 11:12 PM

Oh Bri, I just saw that online.

"The rest of the story..."

When I was driving my parents' 1972 Impala to college, and back sometimes, it only had AM radio and I loved listening to Paul Harvey.

Good day, indeed.

RiP, Paul. Wonder if we'll get The Rest of The Story.

Natasha Richardson has died today following what was originally thought to be a minor skiing accident in Canada. She was only 45.

She was married to the equally handsome and talented Liam Neeson for nearly 15 years, and she leaves two sons motherless.

I first saw Natasha Richardson in the compelling film "The Handmaid's Tale", a cautionary tale of totalitarianism and religious misogyny, alongside Robert Duvall and Faye Dunaway. Ms Richardson's beauty and calm command of the screen struck me immediately, and I've been a fan ever since.

As I've often said before, it is a tragedy when anyone dies in a stupid accident, and Ms Richardson is only one mother, wife, daughter, sister who passed away today. Nevertheless, she brought some joy and interest into my world, and I will miss her. I am an equally big fan of Liam Neeson, who must be absolutely devastated tonight. Peace to him and his family.

Mark Fidrych made $16,500 in 1976, while pitching 24 complete games. He is why modern players take the cash and get contracts renegotiated. Most of all The Bird was just fun to watch. In a just universe he'd get that arm back in the after-life.

Trilby · 04-14-2009, 07:23 AM

I'm gonna go with Marilyn Chambers, too.

First porn I ever saw starred her.

klrguy · 04-14-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah Marilyn Chambers died on Sunday and I did not find out until today. I was bummed

She got me through my teens LOL

Radar · 04-14-2009, 12:28 PM

This is seriously depressing to me. I can't tell you how many spank sessions of mine Marilyn Chambers starred in.

I really liked him for his work with NFL films, though.

yeah....it was the 5-5 to 5-7 2 run homer i heard

I guess he was like Chicago's Harry Caray?

He was also THE voice of Inside the NFL. One of the best ever. He starts 21 seconds into this clip:
