From a combination of hepatitis C, diabetes, and pulmonary fibrosis.  Even his wasting death was an incredible stunt.

Wow!  He was in the news something like yesterday for having settled a license dispute with Kanye West and I remember thinking "Shit!  I didn't know he was still alive!"

At least he was able to make peace with Kanye before passing.

I love that he shows up on CYE every once in a while. And in Ocean's 13! His Letterman appearances were gold back in the day too- his deadpan delivery would just crack Dave up to no end.

I picked up the latest Maxim with Sarah Michelle Gellar on the cover on it. They had an interview with him that boiled down to "I'm a tough old fart and am outliving all this stuff that was supposed to have killed me by now."

Kinda ironic in a creepy way.

Memories...



I had that except the bike was white. Our house was on a steep hill up a concrete driveway and I used to build jumps that pointed downhill so he got really big air, but he never broke. It was very weighty and indestructible for a plastic toy. (For the uninitiated, the bike had an uber version of the "roll it backwards to wind it up" propulsion system you get in some toy cars - it went like a rocket).

I had that bike too.  I used to make him jump the stairs in dramatic recreations of the Snake river canyon fiasco, except with out the parachute.

I had it too. It's my first memory of having a rockin cool toy.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

That bike was so cool!  The red thing behind the bike had the power unit crank, just crank it till the motorcycle was maxed and release him to fly off and crash into something!  I had the super jet cycle that had flames on the side when you cranked him up.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIdGDcWBsoc

I'm gonna miss that crazy bastard...
