Bob Newhart should have been dead long ago.

Re: RIP, Famous person

I never met Bob Newhart; but, I met his mother once. “Mother Newhart” is how others were referring to her. She was getting on in years and using a wheelchair. She was getting ready to do something and I asked if she needed help with it. She retorted “What do I look like, a horse’s ass?” I replied “I don’t know, I’ve never been this close to one.” She paused for a moment (I thought she might be getting ready to unleash a tongue lashing) and then she said “At least you’ve got a sense of humor.”

Made my day.

My wife ran into him on a plane many years ago.  He actually spoke to her.  He said *EXCUSE ME* in the Darth Vader voice.  True story.

Quincy Jones. I actually knew who he was, so there's that.

Also, Peanut The Squirrel No clue who he was, but apparently people and wotsits are fired up about it

Oh, but that story doesn't include the latest twist: After conservatives went all-in on Peanut as a martyr and a "Christ-like sacrifice" and "the Elon Musk of squirrels" (because they saw it as an opportunity to denigrate the Dem establishment running NYC,) they've now discovered that the entire Peanut TikTok account was just a way to direct traffic to the owner's homoerotic OnlyFans page, and now the conservatives' heads are exploding because they championed a gay-agenda squirrel.

I did chuckle at this turn of events
