Most of my memories are gone, maybe a golum somewhere has them, or maybe I just pissed them away with booze.

Jeebus, he was 102?

I know right? Crazy man and lucid too from what I've been reading. God I loved his work growing up.

He is the reason for my sarcasm today. Somewhere as a kid I found the book "Snappy comebacks for stupid questions" and I was never the same. I loved Mad Magazine.

I had that book, too.

Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman dies

Known for his sparkling wit and Strictly catchphrase of "sev-en!", Len Goodman turned to dance as a teen after his football career was cut short by a foot injury. He went on to become a dancing national treasure.

But is he in HEAV-EN?

(This only works if you know one of his catchphrases was "SEV-EN" and that "seven" rhymes with "Heaven" (you should know the second part at least.).)

Harry Belafonte, entertainer and (unbeknownst to many) pivotal figure in American history.

We should throw some chairs in tribute.

I remember one episode where they rolled out this absurdly large wedding cake. Tensions were running high (as they always were). As the cake made its way on-stage, I noticed some of the icing had scraped away on the bottom two tiers of the cake. It was cardboard. A fake cake?? But it turned out faking most of the cake was a wise move, given the top half of the cake was flying in all directions several seconds later.
