Every once in a while, a day passes that reminds you how you’re always one beer closer to finishing life’s sixpack.
— Which ain’t so bad, really, provided you like the pub you’re squatting in.
Still, it’s the nostalgic aftertaste that I have a hard time swallowing. And today’s was particularly bitter — especially if you’ve ever worn pleather pants, or found yourself working under cover in a women’s prison for some old dude you’ve never so much as glimpsed.
But Jeff, we are all doomed.
i saw someone..eh..ten minutes after the msm orgasm..
and i said…
dj’ya hear..
what?
tito broke his ankle…
silence..
apart from that ur a weirdo look..
but i’m used to that..
Well said Jeff.
I cant say I was overly impressed with either as artists, but I can not deny how huge both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson impacted my generation (I’m 49).
BTW, I bought a 12 pack…
I hope they both R.I.P. We are all heading there too.
I made more beer.
I just wonder how many weeks I am going to have to listen to what a genius that twisted little freak was because he was able to write catchy jingles.
As far as Jackson,
It’s a big surprise to a lot of folks. And surprising to see all his fans are flocking to the hospital in LA; but after all, he was a member of the Glitterati. But, It may have been the sudden-ness, and his relatively young age; especially for a heart attack. Still, I believe it’s a function of the cult of personality in our society. Regardless of his eccentricies, fetishes, psychoses, and child molestation scandals thousands will simply remeber him as an integral part of the late 20th century zeitgeist…
I feel sorry for him, the obvious self loathing that drove all of the plastic surgery. Like for anyone else, I pray that God rest his soul, and that he had attoned for his actions here on Earth before he went to meet his maker; and also that He grace his family in their time of loss and grief.
And so, he joins the ranks of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Preslay, and James Dean; a sometime troubled star who died young…
Personally, I’ll always remember him as a talented child, with his brothers, in the Jackson 5…
And Farrah,
What can I say? The lady that I, as well as thousands of young men, drooled over in the late 70’s. She was definately an icon too. Most young ladies I knew in those tried to get that hairstyle going on. And the use of her name became synonymous with “a Fox!” as the term was used in those days. Not exactly the finest actress in Hollywood, but she didn’t need to be…
Ryan O’neil will probably go down quicly without her, but may surprise us all. May God rest her soul too, and give him and all of her family strength to deal with this…
How suprising that they both would go on the same day. Farrah’s long expected, and Jackson’s, like punctuation on hers. As Jeff says, these were two icons of many of the commentariats youth; and represent a beginning of the passing of an era…
it is too bad because the 70’s as a lifestyle is starting to catch on
I just wonder how many weeks I am going to have to listen to what a genius that twisted little freak was…
What I fear more is the idiot ‘reporters’ such as Geraldo digging into minutia as if it meant something.
She was such a babe, and he was one hell of a dancer…
False rumors of deaths of Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum in New Zealand surfaced. Repeat, false.
The related good news/bad news of today’s celebrity deaths is it takes Sanford off the front pages as well as Obama’s fascist Obamacare.
What is really sad is that the MSM equates the impact of Sanford’s infidelity with Obama’s economy killing health care package, then puts both behind MJacksons death.
Fawcett may well have been the original Sugar Tit(s?) of my generation.
Lee Majors. What a dude.
That’s the famous poster BMoe. Those nipples gave thousands of guys of that era serious wood…
It just reminds me that I am 43.
That’s right! I forgot They were married…
Wow, I have a whole resurgence of respect for him…He had that…
A lot of us just coming into dorm life in ’76 had that poster, B Moe. I matched that up with the YES Tales from Topographic Oceans for a semester.
How dare MJ die and upstage Farrah!
Very early Farrah appearance, on The Partridge Family.
That is a deeeeep pull SBP,
And she’s got thcharacteristic, er, topography that made her poster famous…
And an interesting early iteration of that hair…
NOICE!
I’m still not sure those weren’t M&M’s glued in place, BR.
You guys notice the “er, topography” but that smile lights up everything around her.
Gave hell, it still works today, dude.
Exactly. That one, and the Playboy centerfold of that chick Jimmy Connors married.
Must haves if you wanted to be a player.
I could be wrong, but I think she made some appearances on “I dream of Jeanie”.
According to IMDB,
Playboy centerfold of that chick Jimmy Connors married.
Patti McGuire.
The Way You Make Me Feel
Works for both as it turns out.
farrah i dream of jeanie
Oh. and we hated Lee Majors.
Well said, Bob
1976, that Farrah poster was such a sensation and yes we girls screamed at the mirror because after getting the hair cut and buying all the round brushes, blow dryers and mousse we never could get our hair to be just like hers.
Thriller in 1981 was just as big a hit. Michael Jackson was in the right time and the right place with a prodigy voice, unique dance style and Thriller made MTV.
Which is really sad to see how twisted and strange a person he was and he never fought his demons but succumbed to them.
May they both be granted grace and find peace.

The timing of these two (natural) deaths, the day after O!’s Healthcare infomercial…ya think Someone is laughing at us?
Nahhhh…
That took 3 trys. wordpress didn’t like the link I guess. Her beautiful smile and 3 dorks trying for a date.
ream of Jeannie†…. Cindy / … (2 episodes, 1969)
– My Sister the Home Wrecker (1969) TV episode …. Tina
– See You in C-U-B-A (1969) TV episode …. Cindy
I knew this because I actually SAW that episode a month or so back. They actually portray communist cuba in a (very) negative light.
Kinda interesting.
You! YOU! @33!
BANNED!!!11!!!!1!!
Nahhhh, Obamacare wouldn’t have helped either one.
I wonder if there will be ululating at the Jackson service.
Farrah? Hot. Decades of it.
David
Under Obamacare Farrah would have died a lot sooner. Terminal cancer patients will be the first to be sent home to die with a bottle of aspirin and a referal pamphlet to local funeral services.
Why waste money so someone can have an extra year or so with loved ones? Bottomline must be served.
Who’s whiter, BarryO or MichalJ?
I denounce myself.
OK, then who has better nipples, FarrahF or BarryO?
Doubly denounced, I am.
Nice Vid geoffb,
She must be 22.
I know Darleen. I wonder what they have in store for diabetics? Because I am one.
Yes and I was 21 then. Her going brings the mortality thoughts.
Lee Majors is selling that “Bionic Ear” thingy these days, and he doesn’t look all that great himself.
I remember how popular Farrah made the feathered hair style, and we young guys liked it plenty.
I don’t think Michael Jackson deserves this much attention, but I guess there are probably a lot of people who think otherwise.
Just another comment, so the comment number matches my age.
That’s the point, David.
Obamacare is the ultimate vanity sport I think. When your time’s up, no one or no one thing can prolong it. Farrah returned just weeks ago from a trip to Europe, looking for a miracle cure. Who knows what mixtures MJ poured into himself; the mouth hankies, the precautions, all to no avail.
And why wasn’t he in the best of shape? Didn’t that help him any? I mean, years of dancing, moonwalking!
Could you guys step up the comments so I can claim number 50 for my age.
kthnxbye
Watch this.
Uno mas.
Hey. I’m 50 too.
Bingo.
Yes, I had the Farrah poster in college but not in a dorm room. Lived off campus.
RIP, Farrah.
I didn’t know rectal cancer even existed but now that I do, am I a bad person for wishing it on a random congresscritter?
Damn it man!!!
April, Kelly.
You must be January or something. )
51 in July.
It’s the quick and the dead around here…
I beg your pardon. I can still fog a mirror, thank you very much.
Whatever, pops.
Farted much dust lately?
(just KIDDING!!)
It’s just like I intuited…
Much of the commentariat around here are contemporaries; teen agers in the 70’s…
We Rawk!
How old do you all make the numbah one resident jeen-yus thor tobe..?
Dust would be welcome, if you know what I mean and I think you do…
and I’ll be gone a long, long time…
I’ve got thorknob at ~62. But the syphilis might have aged him to 84.
That’s a good one guinsPen…
Ditto, gP.
i’m glad joey hairplug’s choo choo is stil going
A video back a while where Bill Maher claims being gently masturbated by Michael Jackson is not that bad…
But you have to get through Bill Maher doing this to Barack Obama.
Ed, too.
Heeeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny
guinsPen at 61, that was my number.
Joe, because I’m in mourning for Farrah, I won’t click on those links.
DON’T
make me sickBRING ME DOWN BRUCE!!Oh wait this is the MJ comment.
Sorry serr8d.
Ummm…you know who has a horrible image of MJ posted.
Link that, Joe~!
Billie Jean? Not my lover. She’s just a girl who said that I am the one. But the kid is not my son.
OK, I slept with him, but it was nothing, I assure you.
Jesus, I knew Bill Maher was a sick puppy, but that is fucking outrageous.
This was sweet.
Have a banana
Have the whole bunch
It doesn’t matter
What you had for lunch
Isn’t that, “Don’t bring me down; gross!”..?
Or am I having an early senior moment? Or missed a reference or something…
Dude! Eddie Van, Man…
Well, it is a mondegreen, but Jeff Lynn started slinging ‘Bruce!’ because so many people heard it that way.
Isn’t that, “Don’t bring me down; gross!â€..?
They say it “grus,” so it sounds like “Bruce.”
i used to wear one glove..
as i looked at her poster..
hi.yo!
that’s not what the cops said..
hi yo!
Cool. I learned two new words today: mondegreen and soramimi.

Joe,
Thanks for that link.
This is big.
Like most contemporaries of Jacko, I grew up watching him grow up on TV. His appeal reached across racial boundaries, which was something back in the early days. All his faults were harshly backlit by the lifelong floodlight of publicity, and so I hope he RIP. Greetings from Korea, where I’ll be for the next four weeks, thereby having a shot at catching some of the late night threads here.

“If there’s one form of hypocrisy I can’t tolerate it’s sentimental regard for the dead, simply because they are dead. To hear some people talk at a funeral one would suppose dying was limited to the chosen few.”
R. E. Delderfield, To Serve Them All My Days
Ooo, this is fun, the krauts beating up on Teh Won:
“Chancellor Merkel Visits the Debt President
By Gabor Steingart
The occupant of the White House may have changed recently. But the amount of ill-advised ideology coming from Washington has remained constant. Obama’s list of economic errors is long — and continues to grow.”
And the hits keep on coming….
“Obama’s Cheney
Obama’s Cheney is named Larry Summers. He is Obama’s senior-most economic advisor, and like the former vice president, he is a man of conviction. The financial crisis may be large, but Summers’ self-confidence is even larger. More importantly, President Barack Obama follows him like a dog does its master.
The crisis, Summers intoned last week at a conference of Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society in Washington, was caused by too much confidence, too much credit and too many debts. It was hard not to nod along in agreement.
But then Summers added that the way to bring about an end to the crisis was — more confidence, more credit and more debt. And the nodding stopped. Experts and non-experts alike were perplexed. Even in an interview following the presentation, Summers was unable to supply an adequate explanation for how a crisis caused by frivolous lending was going to be solved through yet more frivolity.”

Oh, and our dance with Wal-Mart? Bites us on the ass.
I hope I am not the only one who really doesn’t care that much about this. Not the post but the recent celebrity deaths.
Mr. Pink, Rahm Emanuel says never let opportunities like this pass by. Distractions over MJ’s death might allow Congress to pass cap and trade and health care changes. Know hope!
Enjoy the free healthcare!

Okay three bad jokes, because this is the place to make them.
First, Jackson did collapse while making love and did fall over on his lover, but the boy is fine.
There is no truth to the rumoer that this is a viagra-induced heart attack.
Also two golden oldies from Bill Maher.
First, at the jackson family honors, he was watching the jumbotron and at one point he was heard to say “that is a cute kid. I would really like to– OH GOD THAT’S ME!”
The other was a fake poll he did: “How far would you let Michael Jackson go with you for $20 million? a) first base, b) second base, c) third base, d) home run.”

My brother sent me one MJ joke from WRIF/Mike in the Morning:
‘Jackson’s death has caused the cancellation of his London dates. The dates were Tim, age 10, and Sam, age 7.’
Bad, but expected.
