Then he will be ground up and fed to pigs.

What? It's the circle of life.

I can't believe we missed this one: David Eddings.

His books were okay. Not rewarmed Tolkien like Terry Brooks or Robert Jordan or philosophy tracts like Terry Goodkind. Decent fantasy about knights and wizards and stuff.

I just read Pawn of Prophecy last year...

Any other famous/semi-famous people wanna just drop dead in the next week or two?

McDohl · « **Reply #225 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:11:40 PM »

So, uh, Walter Cronkite.

And that's... the way it is.

I thought he died last year! But apparently that was Peter Jennings.

The reality now matches the symbolism.

Anyway, here's some of the highlight reel.

Interesting you mention the Lunar landing, since it's the 40th anniversary today.

Also,

John Hughes died? Sadness.

Karmic backlash for The Breakfast Club, perhaps?

Awful joke aside, he seemed like a good fellow and a good American. Our loss.

Les Paul

Joxam · « **Reply #236 on:** August 15, 2009, 04:15:38 PM »

Wow. That actually makes me very sad.

Thad · « **Reply #238 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:02:19 PM »

James Wyatt: loving father, hard worker, and kind soul. He was my uncle, and he always did right by me.

Mongrel · « **Reply #239 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:13:51 PM »

Ah damn, that's awful Thad.

My condolences.
