DAMN!

[Wezil]

Thanks -Jrabbit. It was an important update. I lead in the DP for the first time ever.

[Straybow]

Oy, younger than me!

Straybow sweats a bit

You're on my secret pool.

Good, that'll keep me safe.

Yes - and someone only had to die to you to achieve that milestone. Congratualtions.

[rah]

That would have been a much better admonishment if you had a different nick.

It's not like he had anything to do with the death.

Don't blame me.

The man was a Bishop. God wanted him.

It's okay Rah.

I know the embalmer. He's just breaking balls.

Bill Laimbeer Reverently Elbows Chuck Daly's Coffin Into Grave

JUPITER, FL—Beloved NBA and Olympic coach Chuck Daly, who passed away May 9 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, was laid to rest by family and friends yesterday in a quiet ceremony at which a visibly moved and weeping Bill Laimbeer respectfully hard-fouled Daly's casket into its final resting place with a savage and reverent elbow. "That's for teaching me to have respect for myself and never give up, Coach," Laimbeer said as Daly's pallbearers, including former Pistons John Salley, Joe Dumars, and Rick Mahorn, sprawled back on the grass with their arms outstretched and looked to the funeral director for a whistle. "Thank you, Mr. Daly, for making me the man I am today." The otherwise touching ceremony was marred only by an outburst of emotion from Dennis Rodman, who threw himself into Daly's grave and writhed sobbing on the coffin while tearing at his black silk wedding dress.

Jay Bennett, ex-member of band Wilco, dies at 45
1 hr 35 mins ago

[OzzyKP]

Members of Wilco do not count as Celebrities.

[SlowwHand]

We both recognized the band name. If I know one of their songs, I'm not aware of it.

[-Jrabbit]

Wilco, Chicago kids. Damn shame about Jay. Out of the band for awhile now.

Interestingly, he was suing Jeff Tweedy and the band over royalties.
