One of the nicest guys in the biz. Sad to see him go. He took care of everyone around him beyond what was normal. I did a show with him once and he found out I wasn't getting paid and paid me himself. He did that for a lot of comics.

So I'm crying out, "Oh no, not the blue-footed booby!" over the news, and then I think about this thread.
It's numbers are down by half, no one sure why, although a lack of sardines has been noted in the Galapagos waters as the BFBs stop breeding: the cause of the sardine shortage "remains a mystery." Another fantastic species being pushed to the brink...

Bob Hoskins, known for 'Roger Rabbit,' dies at 71 | CNN
I thought he was great in a number of films, but the one that most leaps to mind is Mona LisaFacts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. |

He was the Minnesota 8th district Representative from 1975 to 2011.

Probably his most famous work (OK, maybe 2nd most famous work after the alien in "Alien"):

His stuff in Dark Seed (mentioned in the wiki) was terrifying. I don't know if you've seen his original sketches of the facehugger and the alien Minnemooseus, more sexual than the ones in the films.
Very unique artist, enjoyable because his work was disturbing. Edited by Son Goku, : No reason given.

Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. I walk into a roomJust as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman,That’s me. Men themselves have wonderedWhat they see in me. They try so much But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can’t see. I say, It’s in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Now you understandJust why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. I say, It’s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need for my care. ’Cause I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. |

Seemed most appropriate here. Tribute to the liberty that might have been.

At the time I saw him in 1980 or so, I thought Rik was one of the funniest guys I've ever seen on TV. He and and Ade Edmondson were absolutely brilliant on the 'Young Ones'. Gone at 56. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass |

My favorite CK moment (Negativland production - warning - lots of profanity): This is even more profanity than I remember. Contained on this album.

Keep your feet on a clown and keep reaching for cigars.
Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung
