Chuck Woolery...game show host. 80-something.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but I was a contestant coordinator of Love Connection for a season, and Woolery might be the stupidest person I've ever met.

I met him once. He lived on a lake in central Texas that I used to fish. We were both fishing in the same area and we talked for a minute or so. I didn't realize it was him until someone told me.


Don't forget, also a gold huckster.


RIP Jim Abrahms
Airplane and Naked Gun were pure genius

That's no way for a man to die!


That's too bad. Airplane & the sequel have been running on one of my movie channels recently. Always great for a few gags.

Rocky Colavito died, great Cleveland Indian player. I had his card back in the day and remember being shocked by how good his stats had been in his prime. Underrated!

Rocky was great! RIP. Also this week Chicago White Sox legend Bill Melton died. 1971 AL HR champ. After retiring he alo did the post game show on local TV for many years.


Wasn't Rocky traded straight up for Harvey Kuenn? I'm old...

Hence the Curse of Rocky Colavito.
I will say they are both unjustly overlooked today, Rocky as a slugger and Harvey as kind of a slap hitter.


Rocky Colavito could sure hammer a baseball


Rocky had a game with 4 HRs once which is pretty rare. I remember reading about it on the back of his baseball card 😀

RIP Rickey

Greatest base stealer EVER!


Jesus, was he sick??


Pneumonia


When Ricky got on base, he was the Alpha. Pitchers would look over at him in that low and perfectly balanced crouch, and Ricky'd look, "Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?!"


He was so much fun to watch

Famed actress, most notably as Juliet in the 1968 Zeferelli production of Romeo & Juliet, and as Jess, what some horror fans call the first "final girl," in the original Black Christmas. Cancer sucks.

She was beloved in Japan, I think because of that Juliette role. RIP


My 13 year old self thanks her profusely.
