You guys cannot post about Jimmy Carter right ahead of his 100th birthday in this thread of all places.

I saw the family photo that the family should never have released.  Let the man have some dignity!
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Hasn't the guy been in hospice for something like two years?  Tough dude.

I remember seeing an image of him from his wife's memorial.  He's in rough shape, but hanging on.


Sad to hear about John Amos.  When I watched "Good Times" I had no idea that he only a few years older than Jimmy JJ Walker.  Between that series, "Roots", "Coming To America" and "The West Wing"?  He had an impressive career.

Seeing reports that Terri Garr has passed away.

Will have to watch Young Frankenstein tonight.

RIP Bob Uecker.

I know he was in movies, TV shows, Miller Lite ads, but growing up in Wisconsin he was a fixture as a part of Milwaukee Brewers broadcasts which were a big part of my childhood.

“I must be in the front row” was a running joke in my family for years. My old man loved him.

Saw David Lynch passed too. They always come in threes… :'(
