General RIP Thread

Go To

People die every day. Some of them are famous, some important, many newsworthy. This thread is for announcements of deaths in the news, discussions of the legacy of those recently deceased people, and memorials of same.

Please observe the usual rules about posting ettiquette and note that this is in On-Topic Conversations.

To start with, the last of the original Von Trapp Singers has died, Maria Von Trapp, 99, in Vermont. (This is the daughter of Captain Von Trapp, not her stepmother who was also named Maria. In the musical, they called her Louisa.) http://news.yahoo.com/maria-von-trapp-99-dies-vermont-005546425.html


2023 mod note:


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

This doesn't mean that you can't discuss their life or legacy, or express an opinion as to whether they escaped justice for their actions. But if that starts to become a longer conversation, there are other OTC threads that may be more appropriate.

I'm legitimately surprised that he was that young. I could have sworn he was in his 80's.

That's too bad. While I was not a fan of his show, he was aware how ridiculous his profession was and had a sense of humor about it. Always enjoyed his cameo in Austin Powers 2.

[up]I agree with that statement, and even though I'm not a fan of the show, "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" is something that sticks.

[up]The sentence about agreeing with that statement was about her death while responding to Jerry Springer's death as well.

About Donham, yeah there's a lot of stuff we're not allowed to say here without being banned. As for Jerry Springer, I never watched his show either but you can't deny chanting Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! when appropriate was pretty infectious.

Burning love!

[up]That's because you didn't realize how dire the situation was. Now we'll be awash in inbred Klan members and the black prison wives who love them, cannibal mail-order brides from Russia, and underage nymphomaniacs for Jesus.
