3rd Edition Fun With Death member Ed McMahon has interrupted the Walter Cronkite death watch with his own death. Once again, Sandman extends his lead and demonstrates again that you do not want him to predict that you will die. Sandman's name is quite appropriate - we thought it was because he sleeps a lot in any situation, but the other part is that he will visit you when you are sleeping and he will deliver you to Death.
The Diesel
He sits on their faces and smothers them. Old Mafia tactic before guns
became popular. EM was becoming a nuisance with his mortgage and neck
issues.
Sandman
Poor Ed...we hardly knew him.

Not worth any points in FWD, but Farrah has died at age 62. The latest trio was Carradine, McMahon, and Fawcett...
Sandman
That sucks.
The Diesel
I think she did.
Brother Nature
We might be on the verge of 4 celebs passing. Michael Jackson was found not breathing. Paramedics performed cpr and rushed him to the hospital.
Sandman
Lee Majors and Bubbles the chimp are in hiding.
The Diesel
Farrah and Ed picked a bad week to die. MJ will bulldoze their bios on CNN. Carradine did it right doing it a few weeks early.
The Diesel
Majors has been in hiding since 1983. Bubbles' sphincter is rejoicing.
Sandman
Majors was epic....he wore USFL t-shirts on episodes of the fall guy (LA
Express)
The Diesel
Majors rocked hard and played hard. His bionic ear pieces that he's
pushing infomercial style are totally worth it. I might get one to
eavesdrop on the other team during Madden. I wonder why the USFL didn't
make it with big stones like Majors wearing the gear like it was white
mans version of FuBu.
Brother Nature
Are you on the edge of your seat? Holding your breath in anticipation? Yes the NBA draft is less than an hour away.
Whoopee!
The Diesel
Bill Simmons of ESPN did an incredible write up of San Diego's horrible draft history yesterday online. Very long read but incredibly interesting and funny. I vote that at least one of the players does an MJ shout out by doing the Billy Jean dance up to the podium.
Brother Nature
MJ died.
Vince Carter is now on Orlando Magic.
The Diesel
I thought VC was dead.
Sandman
Today is amageddonesque
The Diesel
Expect North Korea to shower Hawaii with nukes before midnight. Lee
Majors spotted in Canada running swiftly through open fields at 60 MPH,
one armed bigfoot close behind. Bubbles being taught to insert banana
into mouth instead of rump.
Brother Nature
Memphis took Thabeet
Kings select Tyreke Evans G Memphis
Sandman
Horrible....Rubio was the pick and they blew it.
Brother Nature
He was available.
Sandman
This is worse than the Pervis Ellision pick.
Brother Nature
T-Wolves took Rubio

I'm stuck in a glitch in the Matrix and am having trouble with my e-mail, so if you get multiples of the same message, fret not, for I am confident I will find my way out of the Matrix. This is what it feels like to be in Iran, as the only reliable form of communication for me right now is Twitter.
Now for the message that may or may not have made it through earlier:
Reports are that Michael Jackson is dead. Heard that CNN/Fox is reporting that LA Times is reporting that he is dead. There was also some rumor that he his faking his death to secretly live a new life as a woman. I hope this doesn't create the whole Elvis phenomenon where people say he didn't die. Whatever the case, he just couldn't let Farrah have her moment.
The Diesel
The Matrix can be difficult to return from. Good luck to you. Brother Nature
kept us up to date on MJ. Hopefully after 5 days if non stop MJ
tributes he will be gone from the headlines forever. I suggest we make
a list of MJ funeral attendees. You get one point each with someone
other than the obvious (Culkin, Webster...) being a 3 point money ball.
White Russian
I just got home and they are showing his body being moved from the helicopter to a van which is going to the morgue. Larry King just talked to Jesse Jackson and now he's talking to Donna Summer. I'm sick of it already. So far, there has been no mention of his child molestation tendencies.
Donna Summer says the world is in a state of grief. Maybe other countries don't care that he's a pediphile. I had enough of this turd more than 30 years ago. King just asked her about the child stuff and she said she doesn't believe any of it. They showed a picture of MJ and he looks like Yoko Ono.
The Diesel
Dude came out with popular music 25 years ago. He was a freak and a
pederass. That is all. Take away his Thriller album and the world
would be dancing at his death. WoooHoo.

Pitchman Billy Mays died on Sunday.
Luggage fell on his head after a rough plane landing.
The Diesel
On Digg.com they quickly made yesterday Billy Mays ALL CAPS day since he
yells all the time. Everyone commented to stories in CAPS regardless if
it was about Mays or not. The Caps Lock key is now known as the Billy
Mays key. It was funny to read comments on DIgg to news stories like
the Madoff scandal such as "WAIT THERES MORE" and "FOR A LIMITED TIME
MADOFF CAN REPAY THOSE HE RIPPED OFF WITH 3 EASY PAYMENTS". I see that
Fred Travelina died. Billy Mays and Freddie T. Now things are getting
serious.
Sandman
Freddy T died?
Holy Crap....this is getting serious.
YOU GOT TO LOVE THE RESPECT MAYS IS GETTING ON DIGG
White Russian
Ed McMahon is almost totally forgotten now and he died less than a week ago.
Ed McMahon - June 23
Farrah Fawcett - June 25
Michael Jackson - June 25
Billy Mays - June 28
Fred Travalena - June 29
The Diesel
This is making up for that long dry spell. Although the last 4 weren't
on any of our lists.
Sandman
No kidding - the only 4 picked a bad day to die.
MJ is bogarting all the media coverage - and he was not rocking the neck brace/backboard that Ed Mac was.
The Diesel
Ed was breakable but he whined too much. Farrah was dignified but
seemed really dumb. MJ was messed up all around. BILLY MAYS WAS SOLID,
AND THATS NOT ALL. Freddie T. was a superstar among superstars duringBattle of the Network Stars era but hasn't worked regularly in 30 years.
Lee Majors is still in hiding. Last seen in the ocean riding a raft
with a port-a-potty sail to Bakersfield.
The Diesel
Attached is Fred T as Jack Nicholson. Pure genius. Impossible to tell
the difference between him and the real Jack.
Brother Nature
I haven't seen any mention of Freddie T dying anywhere. Usually when a celeb dies there is at least a mention on the Yahoo main page. He's getting no love from Yahoo. BILLY MAYS GOT SOME FACE TIME ON YAHOO.
The Diesel
Sure...Freddy T hadn't worked in 30 years...but come on!!!
This an outrage to the Italian American Community and won't be tolerated!!!
Brother Nature
We're giving him attention on twitter. No one else will but BMTG does!
The Diesel
Fred Travalena, friend of the BMTG, died expectedly today. He was 69.
White Russian
He was 66...
The Diesel
No need to be accurate and 69 works better for FT's biggest fan.
Brother Nature
I just checked out his website and this page is of him with a whole bunch of different celebs. This page is full of people we can add to future death lists.

Sandman
This is awesome....Freddy T stands for Freddy Twitter.
The Diesel
The website Brother Nature found is full of wonderful things. I like the picture
of Frank Stallone the best along with the name Dick Wolfe. Here's a
sample of what FT offers:
You'll be entertained as FRED does dozens of comedic impressions.
Imagine
Jack Nicholson as your oncologist.
Robert DeNiro doing your anesthesia.
Bob Hope as your lab technician.
Bill Cosby as your nurse
Or Dr.Ruth putting you through urine analysis!
I'm sure it was really funny and popular in 1985.
