RIP Thread... pile them up in here

MR. PEANUT

(CNN Business)Mr. Peanut, the 104-year old mascot of the Planters snack food company, has died after sacrificing himself in what appears to be a traumatic road accident.

Sounds like the perfect setup for a Super Bowl commercial!
Planters made the announcement in a series of tweets and news releases Wednesday. "In the ultimate selfless act, he sacrificed himself to save his friends when they needed him most,"

 

It's an add for fancy nuts with no peanuts

R.I.P. Kobe Bryant

Died in a helicopter crash.

 

Money can’t buy anything worth while in this world
Young rich and dead

 

He was just getting into the rest of his life too outside basketball.

 

Dude was fluent in Italian, his dad Joe played in Italy for six or seven years.

 

And one of his daughters was in the helicopter too. This sucks !!!

 

R. I. P. Kobe......I was never a fan, but always respected his incredible talent. Very sad. My heart goes out to that family.

 

Dawg.............Great post...........I'm not big fan of Basketball but really impressed with Kobes game.

This is sad............LeBron James broke his all time points in the NBA the night before he died.......RIP Kobe.

 

ill second this feeling

 

Such a tragedy. When the reports came that his daughter and another kid was in the helicopter I got sick to my stomach. Seriously awful.

 

Baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife and daughter were also involved.

There's no relation to the '83 Orioles manager Joe Altobelli.

 

John Andretti, a member of one of auto racing's most famous families and the first driver to attempt the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's 600-mile race in North Carolina on the same day, has died.

Cancer.

 

Would be nice to knock out 500 miles in 3 hours when traveling cross country.
