ALL THINGS: We Hardly Knew Ye?

[santiclaws]

I just watched JB a couple of days ago and then jumped on the web afterwards and learned he died. Forster was fabulous in that movie, which might be Tarantino's best. Certainly most heartfelt.

Cause I'm gettin' on in the world, comin' up on forty-one years. Forty-one stony gray steps towards the grave, you know, the box awaits its grisly load. Now I'm gonna be food for worms
And just like Charles Mingus wrote that beautiful piece of music 'Epitaph' for Eric Dolphy, I say, so long Eric. So long John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. So long Duke Ellington and Lester Young. So long Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald. So long Jimmy Reed. So long Muddy Waters, and so long Howlin' Wolf

Record fleece holder...Chris the Sheep (named after thesheep in the Father Ted episode Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep) passes away at 9(?) or was it 10(?)... Could it be that the Beast finally got him???

According to Father Dougal...
Because of the beast. They say it's as big as four cats and it's got a retractable leg so's it can leap up at you better. And you know what, Ted, it lights up at night and it's got four ears, two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears. Its claws are as big as cups and for some reason, it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! Mrs Doyle was telling me that it's got magnets on its tail, so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you and instead of a mouth, it's got four arses!

Jean Fergusson (Marina from Last of the Summer Wine) passed away today... Now where is Howard going to leave his bicycle once both of his loves are gone (first his wife Pearl then his bit on the side Marina)???

This leaves Ken Kitson (PC Cooper) and Howard (Robert Fyfe) as the elder statesmen of this great Britcom...

Only got a chance to meet him once for he rarely attended conventions.
He was a special talent and a great person. In 2000 Comic-con my wife and I were towards the end of a very long line for autographs. He stayed well over an hour & 1/2 past the time he was to end the signing so he could do a complete sketch for everyone that waited for him in line.
this was the one he did for my wife http://ryan.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=214806
