The_Kitchen_Guy said:Farrah Fawcett has died.
A news outlet in Los Angeles is reporting that Michael Jackson has suffered cardiac arrest and TNT is reporting that he has died. (These are UNCONFIRMED reports.)
If the Jackson report is true, well, who's the third one going to be?[/QUOTE
Yesterday was Ed Mcman
The_Kitchen_Guy said:It isn't nice to speak ill of the dead but in Michael Jackson's case, I can make an exception.
He was a songwriter but now he's decomposing.
The_Kitchen_Guy said:I thought it was a Thriller.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and set the world dancing to exuberant rhythms for decades, died on Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment."We've just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said."Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said.It added, "A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived."Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer's home.The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital.
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Ten years from now, the only thing people will remember about Michael Jackson is the music, the dancing, the videos and the "Moon Walk," a dance step that had never been done before and most people thought was a camera trick. Ten years from now, his weirdness, plastic surgeries and Neverland adventures will all be forgotten.
The_Kitchen_Guy said:The Farrah Fawcett poster sold over 12 million
copies - the highest selling poster ever.
I never bought it...I was just past the age of
hormone-laden teenagers who all bought it.
(I was a hormone-laden 20-something at
the time.) Now I wish I had bought one.

The_Kitchen_Guy said:If the end of Elvis' life had permanently stained his image, there wouldn't be hundreds of Elvis impersonators making a living at being him. The marketplace tends to be very forgiving of some people, although, not others. Elvis is remembered for his music, for his command of the record business and the side-show antics are snickered at but mostly ignored.
Who knows why? Why do the people of Massachusetts keep re-electing Ted Kennedy?
The bad jokes about Michael Jackson are a fad that will pass - every disaster and painful event in our country is immediately followed by dozens of totally tasteless jokes. Remember this? "Did you hear about the Leon Klinghoffer cocktail? Two shots and a splash." It was awful, it was laughed at, and soon forgotten. (If you're not old enough to remember Leon Klinghoffer, well, as James Thurber said, "You could look it up.")
There were jokes about the Ethiopian famine, the space shuttle disasters and now, Michael Jackson. They're all part of the healing process and will soon fade from our collective memory.
In time, we will be remembering Michael Jackson for Bad, Thriller and the moon walk. While the weirdness and his surgeries are not always fondly remembered, they're all part of what made Michael Jackson and will soon be just a footnote on an otherwise incredible career.

Man...if only I had left them in their boxes and just looked at them....nnnaaaahhh. I loved those dolls. They don't look too bad considering they were some of my favorite toys...although they have lost most of their original clothing.

I know what you mean...I had original Barbies, etc. but I had more fun playing with them. I could barely get the wrapping paper off at Christmas let alone keep them in a box for more than 30 seconds!!
The_Kitchen_Guy said:There are several of those jokes, that we were just talking about, in these two posts but, for once, I'm holding my tongue. (Or fingers, as it were.)
baychef said:I'm talking about plastic dolls (not the blow up kind either). You may have been "unwrapping" Barbies when I was but your Barbies were more life like!!!
