Sad to see him go ... to SPACE!

[โ€“] Plum@lemmy.world 95 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The wrong 80 year olds are dying

It's like someone is trying, but keeps just missing

[โ€“] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And it's only just Wednesday.

[โ€“] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The rule of 3's.

And this sucks, Dolly and now Tim...

[โ€“] romulator37@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It has struck again, unfortunately. RIP Peter Cullen

[โ€“] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

DAMMIT! I don't like this rule...

[โ€“] MehBlah@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It wont be the evil one. It will be someone else I really respected.

Not as famous but its a honorable mention.

[โ€“] Plum@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I want my obit to refer to me as a notorious pie thrower.

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, for starters, how many pies have you thrown?

[โ€“] Plum@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

As of now, zero. But I'd like to think I've got time to rack up some numbers.

Do you respect anyone really evil? Can you please start real quick?

Nothing good ever happens

[โ€“] Bahnd@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Someone find and bubble wrap Keith Richards.

[โ€“] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Willie, Keith Richards is immortal.

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Attenborough too.

[โ€“] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

and Iggy Pop

[โ€“] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I swear that guy is immortal! Like Iggy Pop

[โ€“] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some people OD and die, some can't seem to OD because it pickles them... I hope both these guys live on for another 20 years

[โ€“] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

My grandfather was pickled, he drank at least 1/2 to 3/4 of a bottle of gin a day. Nicest guy in the world thank God. He made it to 91, taught me how to fish and work on boat motors.

[โ€“] Zorque@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Hayden Panettiere died the other week :(

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Wait, now we've got four. Oh, shit.

[โ€“] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Totally forgot, then the rule of 3's is satiated... for now.

[โ€“] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 days ago

Missed that one. She was pretty young too.

[โ€“] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

death needs to get his fucking eyes checked, cause he keeps hitting the wrong goddamn fucking people.

[โ€“] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 14 points 1 week ago

God damn it

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

It's going to be David Attenborough, isn't it. :(

I know he has not been well for a long time, but it hurts to have him gone from our world. Rest in power, you marvelous Frankenfurter.

[โ€“] marighost@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Cruel world.
