“there’s no getting around the fact that a high number of celebrity deaths were grouped unusually tightly over the course of a season”

Which, in the big picture, still means absolutely nothing. A statistical anomaly blown out of proportion by a cynical press anxious to cash in on the public’s obsession with celebrities. But I guess if you’re going to go, going like Carradine isn’t the worst way to punch out.

@Graddy: If you don’t know who Studs Terkel is, then you, sir, are an illiterate slob and a Philistine.

Also, with regards to that quote, everyone in the U.S. (over the age of 10) knew who Cronkite was; the only time I’ve heard or seen Stud Terkel’s name before today was on some book from the 70′s that my father likely grabbed from the free pile of a yard sale (or someone’s trash). A little different.

Autumn aint no joke. It is only the 1st day and every single leaf outside is already a shade of orange.

Fuck you leaves and your pin point circadian rhythms.

Who’s up for the Indian Summer of Death? A nice irony would be a semi-racist term taking out a full blown racist like Limbaugh or Hannity.

And Jeff Goldblum, don’t forget Jeff Goldblum.

I think I saw a t-shirt with that image on it being sold on Canal Street.

It was considerate of DJ AM to wear a DJ AM T-shirt, otherwise i wouldn’t have recognized him. That is DJ AM, right?
