The Cellar / RIP, Famous person

I didn't actually realize/know I liked Sean Lock so much, but I'm really kinda torn up about it, as it turns out ....and as a cancer widow I totally get why there was no official "warning" -sometimes you need to be left alone to get on with shit -you guys knew, but actually you were pretty much the only people we told -close familty included.... and we still weren't very forthcoming about how bad and how imminent..... Bollocks to it all.

Watts didn't try to compete with the Stones attention whores so I didn't know much about him.
Miss Cellania posted a link to a good background on Watts.

Maybe not well known outside Steeler fandom Tunch Ilkin COD ALS at 63. One of the good guys.

**Posted by griff** 9/14/2021 3:50 pm

Dang, he was just a kid.

That's a sad one.

61 is no age to die.

I was just watching some clips of him a few days ago.

There are too many famous people. Therefore one is dying every day.

**Posted by griff** 12/11/2021 3:38 pm

People will stop being famous soon.

**Posted by BigV** 12/11/2021 7:54 pm

Not dead celebrities. But these famous people die inside, a little, some more than others.

I, on the other hand, almost died laughing, a few times.

Oh, shit! Kevin Hart going up on his wife!

I'll have to finish that later. I like roasts.

This board's post editor is weird.

**Posted by Diaphone Jim** 12/12/2021 12:28 pm

Hey NeverWas, I guess posting this morning means you didn't get tornadoed. Ya OK?

**Posted by Anon** 12/12/2021 12:57 pm

The editor will also put consecutive boardhost.com smileys on separate lines. A way around this is to type the smileys' text representations (including parenthesis) into the message body. Then they will then appear consecutively on the same line. The text reps can be found here.

You'd have to check with someone like UT to get odds on whether or not something similar is even possible with externally linked smileys.
