The RIP Thread...

[BlackSmith]

If my text is too abrasive for delicate eyes there’s an option for that.

 

[squisher]

Bite me Bob.



Posted in the joke thread. Meh, lots of humour is based on disrespect of some form or other. Posted in the RIP thread seemed out of place to my delicate eyes.

 

[BlackSmith]

I see your point.

 

[Mick!]

Burt Reynolds apparently.

Made some terrible films (and a couple of good ones) but you just knew you?d like him as a man.

 

[Dave Shepard]

When I was a teenager, I liked those bad films. Fast (ish) and noisy cars and all that.

 

[vharrison]

RIP Burt

 

[MasterBlaster]

We were both in love with the same woman.

The psychologist who famously demonstrated the importance of being able to delay gratification to achieving later success in life died on September 12 in New York City. Walter Mischel, emeritus professor of psychology at Columbia University and self-proclaimed "Marshmallow Man," was 88.

Per Columbia University's announcement:

"Professor Mischel is revered for his work in self-regulation. He is the author of the popular book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control. In it, he describes his groundbreaking studies of young children in the 1960s and 1970s, during which they were given the choice between receiving one immediate treat and receiving two treats 15 minutes later. The tactics used by the youngsters to distract themselves had implications for delayed gratification in adults. For example, when faced with the urge to smoke or a choice between arguing versus compromise, Mischel recommended keeping a goal in mind and focusing on the consequences of losing self-control."

RIP Stan Lee

 

[Mick!]

Good innings as they say for Stan.

I was a big Marvel fan in the 70s Spidey, Daredevil, Captain Marvel and à favourite of mine Conan the Barbarian (Cimmerian)

I’m left rather cold by the film adaptations, but it brought the stories to a new audience, and made Stan a pile of money.

RIP Stan, thanks.

RIP Roy Clark

 

[Burnham]

Yessir.

 

[MasterBlaster]

One of my fav guitarists. I don't think I missed a single episode of He-Haw, just in the hopes that he would throw down!

 

[BlackSmith]

The man had a gift for the strings, RIP Roy you’ll be missed.

 

[Dave Shepard]

George H. W. Bush.

[flushcut]

Makes you wonder what that guy knew. Former director of the CIA and all the other dealings he had.

 

[MasterBlaster]

He knew more than any of us, for sure.

 

[Nutball]

I wonder if they ever get the urge to tell all just before dying.

 

[MasterBlaster]

His last words were "I love you" to his oldest.
