RIP Thread... pile them up in here

If he does, it won't be out of respect, it'll be to "save face" or not look like the complete ccuunntt that he is.

 

He's forbidden from attending.

 

They should have a military parade in honor of John McCain.

Donnie would just love that. Yippee Ki Yay, Mother Fucker!

 

Obama and bush will be reading the eulogies, a final fk you!

 

Playwright Neil Simon is dead. He was 91.

 

If I were the McCain family I would tell him to stay away and that he could suck it

 

McCain had already stated that he doesn't want him to attend.

 

Since death is being served today, let's take a moment to reflect and read a long joke.

John dies and passes on to the afterlife. He takes a look around and finds himself in a dark, dirty alley. He's trying to come to terms with it all and he hears a voice calling out to him. He turns around and there's his old friend Jack. His friend says, "Fancy meeting you here." John says, "Jack, you died 5 years ago." Jack replies, "Yes, I did and you just died too." Come and let's grab some food and I'll explain how it works around here." Jack takes John to what appears to be a soup kitchen. Inside are two lines, one for food and one for fruit punch. The friends get some soup and punch and sit down for their meal. Jack starts to explain that the afterlife is divided into multiple circles and tiers. They are currently in the lowest tier. Jack explains, "It costs 10 thousand dollars to get a ticket to the next level." And that Jack was on his way to buy his ticket when he bumped into John. Jack says, "Listen John, it will be very tempting to spend your money to be comfortable but you should save it and move up or you'll never get out of here." Then Jack goes on his way.

John decides that he's going to heed Jack's advice and he gets a job. Five years go by and John has enough to buy his ticket to the next realm. Once he enters through the gates, he sees nicer homes with white picket fences, ranch style homes, very suburbia. Again, he sees Jack. "It's so good to see you", says Jack. The two decide to grab some food and catch up again. Jack leads John to a bar-b-que and again, there are two lines. One for grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, etc., and the other for fruit punch. The two take their food to a nearby a tree and Jack explains that he's on his way to the next level, which costs 100 thousand dollars to achieve. Jack says to his friend, "Good luck, and don't forget about my earlier warning." So John gets a better job and starts saving to follow Jack's lead.

After 10 years, John has the money for his ticket up to the next level. As he enters the gates, he sees mansions, tennis courts, swimming pools and any other amenity you could want. John sees Jack again. Jack says, "Hi old friend. I'm so glad you made it!" The two head over to a banquet hall and as before, there are 2 lines, one for the most lavish foods you could imagine and the other line is for fruit punch. They take their plates to a spot and they catch up again. Jack tells John that he's on his way to the next level, since he just saved up 1 million dollars to enter the final realm of heaven in this afterlife. Jack and John say their goodbyes and John decides he wants to go to the final realm too.

John gets a better job and after 25 years, he finally has enough money to enter the next level of heaven. He buys his ticket and steps through the gleaming golden gates. On the other side, people are casually walking down radiant streets in naught but pure white robes, whose look and feel reminded him of clouds. Looking down, John notices that he's wearing the same and that all of his aches, pains, and worries are finally gone. And sure enough, there's John's old buddy, Jack. "Hey! You made it! Let's grab a bite to eat and catch up."

They walk over to an ampitheater where the most heavenly and lavish ambrosia is being served. The smell of the place reminded John of all his favorite foods, the scent of loves past and all of his most treasured memories. The place is festive and they get their plates filled high with the delicious food and start walking over to sit but then John pauses, looks back and then turns to his friend and says, "Hey, Jack, where's the punch line?"

Jack says, "There isn't one."

 

they probably knew the tumor was that bad. it's like that golfer a few weeks ago that was sick with cancer for a third time. he stopped treatment and was dead inside of a few days. your body just can take anymore.

 

Burt Reynolds. 82 y/o.

 

always like Burt Reynolds. He had a great laugh and even in his sillier movies like Hooper and Stroker Ace, he was funny.

He had hopes of being a star running back at FSU but a knee injury dashed his hopes of playing in the NFL, so he turned to acting. He always wore FSU apparel in his 70's movies if he could. His RB at FSU - LEE CORSO! Ugh !

 

hey SoCal how's your death list game going ?? are you winning?

 

I think so. Haven't checked it in awhile. We get 10 picks, I've got 2 right now. Usually it takes 3 or more to win.

 

I saw Smokey and the Bandit at the drive-in with my parents when I was 7(?) yrs old. Deliverance is an awesome movie and I really liked Burt’s performance in Boogie Nights. He should’ve won Best Supporting Actor for that one. Adios Burt!

 

Amen !!!!

 

Burt was the second-coolest cowboy hat wearing mustache sporting driving too damn fast mf’er around in the 70’s. RIP.

 

the rare movie based on a great book that lives up to the source material

 

Burt will be missed. He could be cheesy, but loved him Deliverance, the original Longest Yard, and out of his cowboy/stock car movies, I liked Hooper better than Smokey and the Bandit.

 

Think we might have missed this one:

Great villain from Lethal Weapon 2.

 

Don't know if one of his co-stars - Jan Michael Vincent - can be far behind.
