So uh, if you were the last of your cast mates alive, would that generally freak you out? I mean it's basically saying that your time is coming.

I agree. I caught an old episode a while back as I was in a waiting room somewhere. I had forgotten just how well written, and "edgy" it actually was for its time.

[ArizonaGuy]

Oh poor Blanche. RIP Rue.....

John Wooden is very close to joining the party!

[Sir Clinksalot]

RIP Coach Wooden.

 

Got the privilege to meet Coach about 8 or 9 years ago and got to actually have about a 30 minute 1 on 1 conversation with him. Just shooting the breeze ... didn't talk about basketball at all.

[Josh Linn]

Talk about living a complete and amazing life...I'm sure he's happy to be re-joining his wife. The guy wrote her a letter every 21st of the month since the day she died. There's one guy everyone should look to if they need guidance on how to live their life, and it's John Wooden.

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died, from a massive heart attack.

 

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died, Steinbrenner's spokesman said.

 

“It is with profound sadness that the family of George M. Steinbrenner III announces his passing," a statement from his family said. "“He was an incredible and charitable man. First and foremost he was devoted to his entire family – his beloved wife, Joan; his sisters, Susan Norpell and Judy Kamm, his children, Hank, Jennifer, Jessica and Hal; and all of his grandchildren.

 

“He was a visionary and a giant in the world of sports. He took a great but struggling franchise and turned it into a champion again.”

RIP Mr. Steinbrenner. You did so much for the game.

I use to love the movie "The Lost Boys" as a kid.

Dead at 38? I think that's a bit young an age to die...

James Heselden owner and CEO of the Segway Corporation has died after accidentally riding his Segway off a 30 foot cliff.

 

While it's sad that the accident occurred, the irony is absolutely delicious.

[TheScooterGuy]

SPLAT! That poor Segway Man!

[gisco]

^ & ^^ They guy didn't invent the Segway, he bought the company 10 months ago. Still ironic!

[Sir Clinksalot]
