Hopstretch Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod. Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, 'If wet, in the library.' Who could say that this is bad? Who indeed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetoole Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Ugh. As Grahame said, time to reread all the Discworld novels. Which are objectively the best novels ever. Edited March 13, 2015 by cetoole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 As a kid who loved the Gong Show and had a mean crush on JP Morgan, I laughed and loved a lot of that show. The Dancing Machine one big piece of it....RIP Gene..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Dancing in heaven indeed. Sadly, he lost both legs to diabetes. Also, interesting that he was stage hand who was "discovered" dancing alone one day so they just made him part of the shtick. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/gong-show-gene-gene-dancing-machine-dies-82-article-1.2149430 Edited March 16, 2015 by Wmcmanus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah, RIP. As much as that was an earworm, it never bothered me that much, plus, can't deny his talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 RIP, Mike. Toto was one of my favourite groups in the 80s Today died Claudio Cifuentes, more known as "Cifu". He's been carrying on a radio show about jazz on a daily basis at the Spanish Public Radio for 42 years. He also had a jazz TV show for a few years in the late 70s to early 80s. Thanks to this man I learned quite a bit about jazz. An awesome guy, he even replied personally to an email I sent to him. I listened to one of his shows about three weeks ago. He'll be missed. RIP Cifu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10-ekips Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Attended the funeral for Bob Soto today, the man responsible for initiating the sport of recreational diving in the Caribbean. He will be sorely missed. The funeral attracted diving luminaries from across the globe. http://www.compasscayman.com/caycompass/2015/03/18/Scuba-diving-pioneer-Bob-Soto-passes-at-88/ http://www.compasscayman.com/caycompass/2015/03/20/Tributes-flood-in-for--father-of-diving-/ http://www.cayman27.com.ky/2015/03/18/dive-industry-legend-bob-soto-remembered The church was packed with members of the diving world and WWII veterans, both of whom he served with.
