nor Janice Long who was a pioneer for women DJs in the UK. Hard to forgive her for not saving the world from her baby brother Keith Chegwin but..... she did good.

I understand that students who achieved a 2.2 degree refer to having attained a 'Desmond'.

Yes, I know it's in questionable taste but amusing things often are.

Oh they do indeed. If parkrun falls on the 22nd, We call it tutu day and some wear tutus but I've been quietly campaigning for archbishop attire as an alternative. Only one taker so far, and they were volunteering in a non-running role but maybe it'll catch on....

Betty White decided not to bother with 2022. COD OLD. 99

Would have been 100 on January 17th, probably not worth it to hang on.

Richard Leakey was younger and more alive than I suspected.

Richard Leakey: About my age and believe it or not I knew his father, Louis, who taught a summer seminar where I was doing post-graduate work.
Saget: Never my favorite TV guy. Doesn't help that I read today that he was often seriously and offensively vulgar.

Yes, but he did it in away that flummoxed the censors.
They can only censor what you say, not what most know you mean.

He was great in "The Aristocrats". Not a movie for Diaphone Jim, apparently.

Ut: It never ceases to amaze me when you make one of your mindless leaps, as from "never my favorite" to "hating."

I tried to find a screenshot of the Beatles face-palming after Ringo says, "We're not sub-scribers." in the Yellow Submarine, but anyway here's the mental picture:

The Rolling Stones were her opening act. Who (it is said by Keith Richards) taught the Stones how to dance and how to perform. Her amazing career include signing with Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.

When she saw "Dirty Dancing", she asked why she never received a penny for her part in that movie. One need only understand Phil Spector. The Satan in her life.

One can honesty say she was as old as Rock and Roll. And was there for all the best of it.

sorry, meatloaf was my fault. I thought about adding him to my deathpool list last week and didn't

**Posted by fargon** 1/21/2022 10:17 am

I heard about Meat Loaf this morning and cried.

68 yards or feet?

**Posted by monster** 1/21/2022 7:27 pm

I imagine fat comedians rarely get to 69......
