Celebrity Death Pool!

Ran gets a point for Maya Angelou.

I'm not going to get all weepy and pretend to be a fan. Some of her stuff was decent and I'll give her credit as an important cultural figure, but nothing is ever going to make up for that fucking retarded inaugural poem about mastodon shit. It was either the work of someone who no longer received constructive criticism because people assumed everything she did was gold, or it was an incredible troll job. Either way, it's fucking awful. If I were Bill Clinton, I would've smacked the shit out of her and asked if there was a poet with any self-respect in the audience who could take over.

I'm guessing everyone (except maybe my wife) ignores the mastodon picture I posted to Facebook because they'll just assume it's me being weird again.

She was on my list strictly because of her age.

The only clip I could find on YouTube of the soon-to-be-late Kasem voicing Cliffjumper. So... many... animation errors in forty seconds!

Fucking YouTube is littered with morons who think I give two shits about their video reviews of toys.

And, since no one else has said it, RIP Shaggy "Cliffjumper" Rogers.

It's sad the end of his life turned into an episode of Jerry Springer.
He'll always be the America Top 40 Countdown guy first, and a voice actor second.

My kids watch old episodes of Scooby Doo. The episode with Batman and Robin was on recently, and Casey Kasum voiced Robin. There was a scene where Robin and Shaggy had a conversation and I realized Mr. Kasum was essentially talking to himself.

RIP Tony Gwynn.

Yeah 54 is too close to home. Not good.

Did...did...did you predict his death by 3 days?

[anarky]

Did...did...did you predict his death by 3 days?

Yes.

But so did just about everyone else keeping up with the news.

Seriously, though, I try my best to avoid celebretard news, but the crazy-ass drama around his last few weeks on Earth was tough to avoid, and rather a train wreck.

[Jargo]

I think it's time to get the poolboy in. This putrid celebheap of nasty is making me heave.

[anarky]

Gerry Goffin. Did he just slip under our collective radar, or was he another one we thought was immortal?

And will we still love his music... tomorrow?

(Okay, that was bad.)

[Diabolical]

RIP Bob Hastings, the voice of Commissioner Gordon.

First Alfred, now Gordon.
