Rest in Peace Hulkster

We were young once.

It seems so long ago.

Remembering OJ Simpson

Nothing Compares to....what you missed out!

The poor wee lass is gone.

May she rest in peace.

Good Night Sweet Prince.....RIP Iron Sheik

Back in day

Laverne was always a whore.

You Ain't Woman Enough....But she sure was

Goodbye to the Coal Miner's Daughter.

She was true country royalty. The direct heir of Pasty Cline. 

Her kind will never be replaced!

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Vintage Len Dawson

Rest in Peace Lennie...they don't make them like you anymore

 

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson has passed at age 87. 

He was one of my favorite all time quarterbacks along with Kenny Stabler, Joe Kapp and Norm Snead,

You never forget the heroes of your yute ya know what I mean.

He was a legitimate tough guy and won a Super Bowl. Hall of Famer. Met him once at an autograph show and he was a real gentleman. 

It's a shame that the league is filled with felons and rapists. Unwatchable in all its aspects. Like many things in life, we can only reminisce about the old times and scorn the new versions that pollute our society.

RIP.

You're The One That I Want...... If you were still alive

She could rock a black skintight suit that's for sure.

One of the many reasons you don't hear about Rick Barry anymore.....

Bill Russell gives you a taste of his personality.

RIP Bill.

Rest in Peace Paulie....say hello to Ma

This is the best illustration of what these guys are like.

"I know you."

For additional info you can check out "Hispter Holocaust" at the old place.

That is what is taken up my time.

I did have to laugh that he was buried out of Regina Pacis. Do you remember the story about the junkies that broke in and stole the jewels off the statues?

RIP Sonny!

I will always think of you as Mississippi. 

RIP Sydney

One of the best movies about gambling you will ever see.

Hard Eight staring Phillip Baker Hall and John C. Reilly.  

Check it out. It is great.

RIP Gilbert Gottfried

A great if supremely annoying comic.

WKRP Dr. Johnny Fever Awakens From The Dead

I bet he wishes this was true!

RIP normality!

 I have not seen one in a while.

Unless they were gay.

It’s sick out there and getting sicker.

The architect of the destruction of the military has passed!

 Colin Powell the proto-type of the political general has passed. He was the most politically active general since Douglas MacAurthur and the shame of it was that he was a dyed on the wool Democratic butt boy. Sure he pretended to be a Republican but he was one of the biggest Rhinos of them all! He endorsed Obama, Hillary and Biden. The Republican Bush establishment embraced him because they wanted a high profile moolie on their side.

The Republicans were stuck with him as he lead us into the beginning of the endless wars that are still going on. The Neo-cons and the Rhinos betrayed our country for financial gain and to get promotions and status.

Yes he served his country and we should honor his service. But so did Benedict Arnold who was responsible for our victory at Saratoga. So I say let’s treat him the way we did Arnold. As an unpleasant footnote to the American experience.

We have to stop the involvement of the military with partisan politics. I think that is the most important issue we have to deal with in the aftermath of the Trump years.

RIP Ray Fosse!

 Remember that All Star game when Charley Hustle ran into Ray Fosse and knocked him ass over teakettle to score a run in a meaningless game? All the old timey announcers praised Rose as a throw back to the old days of spit and vinegar. He played the way the old timers did. Plus he bet on the games like Hal Chase and Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker so Rose would fit right in with the Black Sox.

Still and all he really fucked up Ray Fosse. He had a rookie of the year season but most of that was before the All Star Game as he never quite recoverd. He was one of the bright young catchers of the 1970's but he never rose to the level of Thurman Munson or Carlton Fisk. He had a serviceable career though and was the announcer for the A's for a long time.

He passed at age 74 from cancer.

RIP Ray. I think you are heading upstairs because playing in Cleveland was punishment enough for you sins buddy. 

It seems like so long ago......and far away

RIP Norm.

OJ did it.

But that seems like a century ago.
