Name of the Rose was a fucking amazing book. Purest melding of an entertaining narrative, a postmodern ironic redo, and a work of high literary theory that I can think of. Fun and clever. Naturally of course the movie of it stunk to high heaven.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question. They called it The Prayer, its answer was law Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

ELP lost it's vowel. Evidently Keith Emerson killed himself. What's up, rock music? :(

I'm pretty sad at this: my uncle introduced me to prog when I was 10 or 11 with ELP's brilliant Works double album, and I still have a soft spot for them.

Paul Daniels is kaput. The lovely Debbie McGee is back on the market. You'll like that, but not a lot.

Someone else died too, I forget. Probably quite a few people, come to that.

Oh yeah it was Sylvia Anderson. Some would say "voice of Lady Penelope," but I am rather obtusely going to point to her as "the producer of series one of Space 1999 and production assistant of Torchy The Battery Boy".

Paul Daniels, who I suspect nobody outside of the UK will have heard of, has died. He will be missed by absolutely nobody, he was a hateful little cunt and a shit magician.

2 things ; 1 - Do you have Endie on Block ? 2 - Whoa, that's some hate for PD right there. Clearly, I don't know enough about what's making you angry here ? What did he do ?

1 - heh, no, I just failed at scrolling up! 2 - ah all sorts of things. I won't do a grunky.bob and shit the thread up but some cursory web searching should reveal the kind of person he was.

I couldn't bear him to be honest, but all the outspoken, reactionary stuff he spouted was pretty much him being a moderately-typical old person with nobody around to say "now now Paul, why don't you just leave the refugees to get on with it and eat your nice peas, instead?" Come to think of it, fuck knows how long the brain tumour was in there pressing on bits of his head that stop you saying insensitive stuff about sex abuse victims, too.

The only surprise there is that it was cancer and not a fucking heart attack from cocaine.

Reddit informs me that the engineer who felt responsible for not stopping the Challenger take-off died as well.

I'm astonished that he was only 46. I seriously thought he was in his fifties at least.

I'm no GQ cover model but there's no way I'll look that bad and that old when I'm 46 in a few years. Cocaine, it's a helluva drug.

If that is all you know of him, you're missing a lot. He's a bit of an acquired taste. Sorta like Larry David.

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

Very true. I watched his show when I was a kid. Mother let me choose like two more adult shows to watch and this was one. Cheers was the other.
