2009/2010 shitucked

[The_None]

With that 2009 celebrity death wave, I figured that the thing shall have it's own topic.

So yeah, Lou Albano turned out to be next.

[KoopaKoot]

R.I.P Cap'n

[Jango]

I'm sure Danny Wells is imagining this is all a dream, and knows that at any moment Lou will walk through the door and say "LUIGI I'M HOME."

[Jesuszilla]

I was gonna say, "DO THE MARIO" but then I read Jango's post, LOL'd, and realized I couldn't top that.



... hey I just realized that we didn't even have a Michael Jackson topic. Of course, there was good reason to avoid that discussion here...

[Brandy Bogard]

Now Soupy Sales is dead

[The_None]

And before him there was a Bond Villain biting the dust.

[Brandy Bogard]

You know the guy who made the box art for Doom, Donald Ivan Punchatz? http://www.star-telegram.com/metro_news/story/1708835.html He just died.

[Jesuszilla]

Well now that it's 2010 perhaps it's time this topic be revived to post about 2009 and shit.

[Leon Belmont]

Brittany Murphy.. and that drummer from Avenged Sevenfold. Life is pretty short these days

[Jesuszilla]

The drummer from Avenged..?! Damn. Everyone died. Though this isn't exclusive to deaths anymore, post anything you want now.


Though 2010 has started off well with my friends getting married... and it turns out I'm a happy (merry?) drunk =P

-...and Ted Kennedy (though your milage would vary on how do you think about him, but still)...
-...and Lou Albano...
-...and Soupy Sales...
-...and Dr.No...
-...and that Doom's cover artist....

Other terrible events that are not deah-related:

-Infinity Ward joining the ever-growing list of companies that betrayed their original fanbase.
-Elton John joining the dark side...

That's all i remember right now. Am I forgetting something?

[Leon Belmont]

You guys wouldn't have heard of the band since they're Japanese, but they make amazing music and their bassist died in '09.

[Anjel]

A metal bassist?
RIP Jasmine You. :'(

[Leon Belmont]

Yep, right after they signed onto a major label and was going to release a new album. Sucks

[The_None]

Just expanded this thread to include the 2010 as well in the wake of the fact that after the creator of Gumby, Mr Satan/Hercule's (and Heihachi's) Japanese voice actor turned out to be next.
