It's a long line here at BI, perhaps particularly so at BI-OT.

IIRC, Professor Tim White built about 8% of his Anthro 1 course at Cal around taking down Richard Leakey's findings and his personal and professional credentials to even have findings.

This is a good movie if you haven't seen it. Bogdanovich also stars.

Way too many icons dying lately.

What's up with that?

Anwyays, I read that a down on his look Orson Welles lived with Peter Bogdanovich in the 70s.

And a down on his luck Peter Bogdanovich lived with Quentin Tarantino in the 90s.

So which young hot shot director will a down on his luck Tarantino live with in the 20s?

Could there have been a comic whose TV persona was more different than his stand up and real life persona? The dude was hysterical.

I have this vague memory of being a little kid at Canter's Deli and Bob Saget, who was then a butcher, serving my mom.

I rewatched Dirty Work, directed by Bob Saget, when Norm Macdonald died.

Wow, this one kinda hits home because he was only a little older than me and, in the '90s, I had more than one person say that he and I looked alike (I guess a little bit).

I remember well seeing/hearing his raunchy side in the movie "The Aristocrats". It was surprising, if you had never seen him do stand-up before.

Damn it. Seems like this was out of nowhere. Thank you for the laughs. I appreciated you. RIP Mr. Saget.

2 random thoughts:

--Saget was 31 when Full House premiered. That's like, say, somebody born in 1991 playing the father of 4 kids.

--Norman Lear was 33 when Bob Saget was born.

Convicted New York Real Estate Tycoon Dies of COVID-19 Months After Life Sentence for murder

At first, I thought this headline was a news flash sent to me from 2023. Ding dong, the witch is dead!

Alas, it was for Robert Durst, whoever he is/was.

(You mean there are two of them??)

Durst died today. If you haven't watched this documentary (please don't share spoilers here) it's very, very good. It's on HBO Max.

The bottom was good.
The top has to be the worst set of jokes ever.
I think norm was trying to get the tape and burn it before he died.
