90’s movie star Patrick Swayze lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
His phantom arms are around us all now.
Farewell, Mr. Swayze.

Yesterday the flags in Shermer, Illinois were hung at half-mast.
Writer, producer, director John Hughes passed away having suffered a fatal heart attack.

John Hughes wrote and directed a number of wonderful and influential films of the 80’s and 90’s.

We at Blogadilla will miss you, John.

At 7:49AM this morning (June 28), loud hairy TV pitchman Billy Mays was pronounced dead – as simple as 1-2-3. It is currently not known if the death of the 50-year-old was related to a minor airline accident injury from the previous day.

Farewell Billy – he lived life with an exclamation point.

3:13PM: the television news media (CNN, FOX, MSNBC) has yet to officially state that Michael Jackson is dead. Jackson was not breathing when he was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center at 12:26PM today, in a state of cardiac arrest.

3:15PM: L.A. Times now states that doctors have pronounced Michael Jackson dead.

3:30PM: CNN television news announces that Michael Jackson is dead. Suck it CNN! You’re 15 minutes behind!

NOTE: Michael Jackson is declared only “99% dead” – his nose was already declared legally dead over 7 years ago.

It’s going to be years before we can giggle again at the term “anal cancer.”

A shitty way to die (sorry . . . too soon).

Sadly, neither the “Chainmail of Invincibility” nor his +153 Charisma spared him in the battle with cancer.

Dave Arneson: he gave nerds a world of power and camaraderie.
