Red Buttons, carrot-topped burlesque comedian who became a top star in early television, died Thursday, a spokesman said

GODDAMN! I swear to god I thought Carrot Top had died when the headline caught my eye. I was so excited for a minute!

Don't worry, he will soon. The 'roids will get him.

There would have been mass jubilation throughout the galaxy, had Carrot Top died.  I would put a contract out on his life, if I had any pull (or money) at all.

I was talking with a friend lately, and she said the worst thing I'd ever heard.  She said it would be hilarious if Paris Hilton got AIDS.

I told her I was shocked that she would wish AIDS on somebody and that she should be ashamed of herself.





Actually, I said it would be hilarious if Paris Hilton got AIDS, but she agreed with me so I lectured her about that.

But it's sad that this other bloke died.  Right?

Na, he was 87.  He should be celebrated for having long, productive life.

Although I'd heard the name, I had no idea who he was.  I looked at pics and remember him from some stuff.  His real name seems to be Aaron Chwatt.  Poor guy.

You reinforce my pangs of age.  Thanks :P 

I seem to remember him hosting a train of celebrity roasts during my youth.  I believe he was the comic that everyone had on their show, somewhat like a mandatory ornament.

Don't be silly.  I'm probably older than you.  I just have a horrible memory.  Maybe because I'm so old.
