That does it. Now ZZTop is dying. Biden's the biggest disaster ever.

Number of ZZTop deaths under Trump 0%

Biden 33.3%

Dusty had a great sense of humor, too.

RIP Oh Bearded Wonder.

From nationwide to galaxy wide

saw them live at a small venue of 2500 in Wichita about 13 yrs ago

 

[Rollie Free]

Saw them when I was 18-20. They were my favorite band. Two bands really. Gritty, bluesy, gospel type stuff early on. They were great artists. Went more rockabilly techno. Then really faded away quality wise. Trying to pick my favorite album could be an eternal discussion.

I still have the Showtime Rotisserie we've had stored in the basement for years. The wife never really embraced it because she looked at it as another thing to clean (I can't argue the point) It was used once and is still in pristine condition, including all the extras that go with it.

I'm taking bids !

He did a pasta maker and gave out the simplest white clam sauce recipe that I use.

 

[Rollie Free]

My parents talked of buying some Popeil apparatus that was basically a cut rate blender. A neighbor borrowed it and brought it back and said there was now tomato sauce all over their ceiling.

My favorite was the can of spray that was supposed to cover up bald spots but that inside the egg scrambler was a classic. I like that he voiced over his own commercials.

After a while they became gag gifts.
He was a heck of a salesman. His deception was so charming it was hard to be mad.

I bought the Popeil Pocket Fisherman and caught some pocket trout!

RIP Dusty Hill. Listened to Tres Hombres after consuming some shrooms and feasting on steak then smokin' a big fatty. Still groove on them tunes to this day and all the others they made. Still play some on my guitar and wear my Cheap Sunglasses and contemplate those TV Dinners.

RIP Ron Popeil. Though I never bought any of your products I always was entertained by your presentations and lived through your impact on American culture. Your efforts changed the face of TV to where today we have Phil Swift and the marvels of Flex Seal! As the Wicked Witch of the West said, "What a world, What a world" and I am thankful you were a vital part of that.

Shouldn't this be posted in the Good News thread?

I did debate that but didn't want to come off as a leftist.

When will the no good, lazy, money grubbing Republicans start putting the blame on Biden. He's the dipshit that is allowing this to continue.

There are no real Republicans. There is only the Uniparty and only beholding to themselves and their own interests. Supporting any political party in this country is a mistake. The concept of political parties is what has ultimately allowed the country to be undermined and pretty much reshaped into the oligarchy in place today.

Don't expect anything positive to come out of the Republican party. You'll only be fooling yourselves if you do!

Don't expect anything positive to come out of either party. You'll only be fooling yourselves if you do!

Yep, just another dem/prog/soc/commie. Will they bury him next to Hoffa? Did he take the jab?
Inquiring minds want to know.
No matter, now he's a good communist.

death of the 'old guard'

it's the 'next generation' that's going to be even worse as that morality caboose, the one we used to drag along with us, has been replaced by electronic sensors that relay 'current conditions' up to those in charge

personal scoring comes along after the technology is perfected

The GOP senators could Impeach Biden over his lack of controlling the Southern Border Illegal Migration, but there is not a peep from the Good Ol' Puppets.

Markie Post Dies: Actress Known For ‘Night Court’, ‘The Fall Guy’ & More Was 70​

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/markie-post-dies-actress-known-055101778.html

Markie Post, the actress known for turns in Night Court, The Fall Guy, Hearts Afire and more, died on Saturday, following a three year, ten month battle with cancer. She was 70.

Post’s manager, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, confirmed her passing to Deadline.

Born on November 4, 1950 in Palo Alto, California, Post got her start in entertainment by working behind the scenes on game shows, including Split Second, earning an associate producer credit on Alex Trebek’s Double Dare, and appearing before the camera as a card dealer on NBC’s Card Sharks.

Her first acting credits came in 1979, with appearances on episodes of CHiPs, Barnaby Jones, The Incredible Hulk, The Lazarus Syndrome, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and Hart to Hart.

She’d later appear in series such as The Love Boat, Cheers, Fantasy Island and The A-Team, before landing the role of bail bondswoman Terri Michaels in ABC’s The Fall Guy. She appeared in 65 episodes of that action drama between 1982 and 1985.

Post was also a series regular on NBC’s Night Court, portraying public defender Christine Sullivan for 159 episodes between 1985 and 1992. She also drew notice with her turn as Georgie Anne Lahti Hartman in Hearts Afire, the CBS sitcom, in which she starred opposite John Ritter.

Later in her career, Post recurred on Scrubs, as the mother of Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), in addition to Chicago P.D. and other series, portraying herself in a 2008 episode of 30 Rock.

On the film side, Post was perhaps best known for playing the mother of Cameron Diaz’s Mary in Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s classic 1998 comedy, There’s Something About Mary.

Post was determined to keep pursuing acting as “a side job”, even as she got sick. Between chemo treatments, she worked on projects such as Lifetime Christmas movie Four Christmases and a Wedding and ABC series The Kids Are Alright.

“But for us, our pride is in who she was in addition to acting; a person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving and forgiving in an often harsh world,” her family said in a statement.

Post is survived by her husband, writer Michael A. Ross; daughters, actress Kate Armstrong Ross and Daisy Schoenborn; son-in-law Bryce Schoenborn and her and Michael’s five-month-old granddaughter.

Plans for a memorial are being made, though specific details as to a time and place have not yet been disclosed.
