Title: They're dropping like flies - another celebrity death
Post by: randym431 on June 29, 2009, 11:35:05 am
Gale Storm, perky star of 1950s TV, dies at 87
‘My Little Margie’ made her one of early television’s biggest names

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31598348/ns/entertainment-television/

Not only Jackson, Ed McMahon, and Farrah, but I forgot David Carradine also died in June.
Note to celebrities, stay in bed today and tuesday.
Pull the cover over your head and talk to no one.
Don't change that light bulb.
Don't take that plane trip.
DON'T take a shower.
Stay away from the car.
And when you go out to get the news paper, wear only an all bight orange jump suit.
You know, the prison kind.
And if the phone rings, remember that one Barbara Stanwyck movie "Sorry, Wrong Number".

Hey Randy,

You forgot the guy who wrote the Hokey Pokey, he died in June.  His STAR may not have burned as brightly as Michael Jackson, he may not have won as many grammys or had Brooke Shields as a date during the awards show but... he made our grandparents happy, he made our parents happy and the free world will always do the Hokey Pokey  ;D  Have the best day

Too far back for me to remember  :) I would have been a year old when that show was on. I don't even think we had a television set in the house during that time.  I think the first set we got was in 1956. We was po.

This will get me banned from every gym in America for saying this but, Cher is very old and she doesn't look a day over 25.  I remember when I was little and pictures of Sonny and Cher were in the fan magazines at the salon where my mom got her hair done.  She has to be over 70.  In the supermarket check out line yesterday, there was an article on the front cover of her being mad over her daughters plastic surgery.

Who do you think had the most plastic surgery?

1. Cher

2. Frank Sinatra

3. Michael Jackson

For our macabre little celebrity death poll I was thinking of Kirk Douglas and Jerry Lewis, I believe Jerry dropped the faggot bomb word a while back but later retracted, so I guess I will make one of those strange sounds he used to make like Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!  I can't think of a third person to round out the circle.  OK I'm a little bored, so shoot me- oh no I don't want to be the third !!!

Mikey, Of course. Not to say Cher hasn't had a few but I think her Cherokee genes might help her out. Isn't Frank Sinatra dead or are you speaking of Junior?

Jody those are some great picks there.   I actually thought Kirk Douglas was dead a while back and then I see the fart on some awards show collecting an award for mumbling or something like shaky hand syndrome...  or maybe it was for a life time achievement award, which will be thrown away when the kids clean out the house after he dies.

Anyhow....  I like longshots and my pick is Linsay Lohan for the next celebrity death poll.   My wildcard pick (not quite a longshot) Elizabeth Taylor...

Oh my Queen,

I always forget there was 2 Frank Sinatras.  But, my hair dresser claims to be in the know in regards to celebrity plastic surgeries and he sez... Frank Sinatra Dead has had little surgeries every year for so many years, he out numbers surgeries of both Cher and Michael Jackson  ;D  Have the best day

Hi Skeebo...I was also thinking about Elizabeth Taylor last night but she has been so good to the AIDS causes that I did not want to consider her and hope she keeps on truckin' as long as she can.

How about O.J. himself - no sense wasting prison food and while we are on the subject of prisoners Bernie Madoff would be a good client for the Grim Reaper although a little more suffering in a small, dark cell seems like at least a little justice for that one.

5 current U.S. Supreme Court Justices whose conservative, mean spirited agenda driven decisions continuously work against the needs of HIV+ folks, LGBT people, the poor, the disenfranchised, religious and racial minorities and others without alot of power, money and influcence and who therefore endanger so many lives daily:

John Roberts

Samuel Alito

Anthony Kennedy

Antonin Scalia

Clarence Thomas

  Not to trivialize it or anything, but our time will come around, and I ain't need no Dali Lama to privy me to that info on some audiobook  I haphazardly listen to on my ride to work.   Marley gives me my peace and knowledge on my daily drive.  But hey, mecch do you know if they got them audiobooks for far more interesting stuff like the Kama Sutra....   My mother in law bought us a Kama Sutra "PACK"  and it makes it into some sort of game...   I mean it actually has  a spin dial with numbers and  cards you can draw from, what the hell is that?   I guess it is to be expected when your 57 year mother in law who has not been with a man in 10 years buys you an anniversary present.  

 

I would suggest we have 2 games, "Celebrity Death Poll" and "Celebrity Death Wishing Well."

Morbid enough for you?

Basquo you have never failed to impress me, for some reason I think that is one hell of an idea!

BTW, I am throwing Tom Cruise in the wishing well......  Do I need a reason?

  Steve McNair was found dead yesterday with two bullets to the head.....   I'm not so sure he dropped like a fly though.....   it was probably more like a rock.

  He was once a NFL quarterback who took the Tennessee Titans to the Superbowl.

OK, so Mom said deaths come in threes.....

   I wonder if McNair's wife thinks he's all that great right now.   It was him and his 20 yr old girlfriend who were found dead.  He was shot twice in the head and twice in the chest, his girlfriend was only shot once in the head and the gun was underneath her body.......   obviously McNair never watches that show snapped.   I always thought this guy was so tough to....   I bet he was still standing even  while dead, that's just how tough this guy was! ;)
