It takes a real man to wear that outfit.

Ooh, I  smell a personal story...

I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm a pure and innocent soul.

RIP dancer Dave Toole

RIP Bobby Brown, Jr.  Bobby Sr. has quite the legacy of drug related and early deaths:

Whitney Houston dead at 48

Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown dead at 22

Former ward and nearly son in law Nick Gordon dead at 30.

Bobby Jr. dead at 28. No cause given yet but allegedly "no signs of foul play."

I hope his remaining five children fare better. 

RIP Jan Morris. You lead a fascinating life. 
“Her life story was crammed with romance, discovery and adventure. She was a soldier, an award-winning journalist, a novelist and - as a travel writer - became a poet of time and place.  
She was known also a pioneer in her personal life, as one of the first high-profile figures to change gender.”

RIP Maradona.

One of the 20th century's most electric athletes. His highlights are as breathtaking today as they were back then. The goal of the century might also be the 20th century's best sports highlight.

HBO's documentary on him from a year ago was great. https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/diego-maradona

RIP Diego "The Hand of God" Maradona

RIP Diego....thanks for the highlights, and still way too young!

RIP Diego ... You were/are a champion.

I've just checked into this thread again - I can hardly type for laughing!

OMG the thread moved on - that was in reply to Tice's comment on the last page on Nov 9th!!

Back to the current posts. So sad that Maradonna has gone. Such a flawed genius in the same way that George Best was. Best drank himself to death, and Diego Maradonna had the same demons.

RIP David Prowse

Had the pleasure of interviewing him for my high school paper in ‘84 or 85. Said he wanted to be cast as James Bond in the future. 
 

RIP Darth 

RIP David Prowse.

Before he was Darth, he was The Green Cross Code man.

In the UK, in all it's 70's glory.

And he was overdubbed in that as well, because of his west country accent.

 

RIP, Darth "Farmer"

 

 

RIP David Prowse. I had no idea he was the Green Cross Code guy - thanks for that Grahame!

RIP Squiggy.

Squiggy!!!  Godspeed, David...

Thank you for all the laughs in my youth.

RIP Squiggly and General Chuck Yeager.

RIP Chuck Yeager

RIP Chuck.

He may be the "ace of aces" with "the right stuff" but it is hard to think about him the same way after the black astronaut candidates on a recent PBS special, Chasing the Moon, described how Yeager went out of his way to ensure a black man wouldn't go in to space in the 60s and 70s.

RIP Chuck... though I agree (and hadn't been aware) that discrimination as above always taints things

Rip chuck.

His son was in my R/C club growing up in Oregon. Guess they didn't get along so well. Something about a big ego.

This....a great story, tainted some.....
