I loved that show even when I didn't get all the jokes.

 

[Newfie]

Brings back Sunday morning memories with my dad when I was little. Rocky & Bullwinkle at 6am followed by a good Errol Flynn or John Wayne movie at 7am. Bummer.

 

[MasterBlaster]

The old daze.

 

[Altissimus]

.... Rocky ... Bulllwinkle , Boris , and Natasha....

 

[woodworkingboy]

The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was super popular when I was a kid. I particularly liked Boris and Natasha.

Boris, Natasha, and 'Fearless leader'.

 

[stehansen]

A great show. Some good Cold War humor in there too.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Some good political dialog too...

Bullwinkle, "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat."
Rocky, "Again?"

 

[Altissimus]

...cartoon with adult humor ... they don't make'm like that anymore ... sorry Sponge Bob ....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Book em, Danno!

RIP James Macarthur.

He was the last of the gang still kicking.

That was a good show.

72, I didn't think he was that old. Time sure goes fast.

RIP to my cousin Jack...

He was found dead in his apartment yesterday. Guess he had passed on some days ago and no one knew..

I grew up with him. He was like my older brother when I was a kid.

He got heavy into drugs when he was in the Navy. Contracted Hep C. I spent lot of time with him as adults in AZ when I lived there. Last couple years I had to alienate myself from him due to his increased paranoia.
He finally had to be institutionalized for a while to stabilize him. He lost both parents over the last few years.
A sad life.

I am sad my kids will never get to know the fun guy I always knew. But that person was already gone prior to his death..

RIP my brother.

 

[Che]

Sorry about your cousin, Stephan. Sounds like he had some rough times.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Thanks Che.
He just made a lot of wrong choices I think. He chose a real rough path.

 

[Blinky]

I'm sorry about that Stephan, he sounds like someone I know. RIP Jack.

 

[woodworkingboy]

RIP Jack.

 

[SkwerI]

Chip, we are tree guys. I think we all know a few people like that.
RIP Jack

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yep. A climber friend of mine got strung out on some shit and shot himself in a motel room.

Sad.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Mine hung himself in his garage, stepped off the roof of his truck.

 

[Blinky]

I was actually thinking of my brother Brian, but true enough, he's not the only one.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup.. Seems we all know someone. Fact is, that could have been me had I made different choices in life. I just came to a crossroads when I was younger and decided a different path was more rewarding should I take it,

 

[Bodean]

Sorry to hear, Stephen.

 

[Burnham]

Condolences, Stephen.
