We just need to bring in another two or three different topics, change the whole tone up a few more times -- we need at least one more "serious" topic here, and ideally a few people getting upset -- and this thing has a real shot at the top 3.
I want it to be #1...
The untimely death of one of our forum members (Jabberwalky), has prompted me to make this post. You can see him on the left side of the photo below.
Actually, it was the untimely death of Rik Mayall (again on left below). Ironically, someone posted a photo from "The Young Ones", earlier in this thread, before he died.
Monday's death of British actor and comedian Rik Mayall happened after he suffered an "acute cardiac event" at his London home following a run, his wife said Thursday.
"He had just returned from his usual run and many people had seen him that morning," Barbara Mayall said in a prepared statement released by his agent, Kate Benson.
Benson said earlier this week that she didn't know the cause of death.
Rik Mayall, 56, one of the leading lights of Britain's alternative comedy scene in the 1980s, was best known for starring roles in hit TV series "Blackadder," "The Young Ones," "The New Statesman" and "Bottom."
Barbara Mayall said she and the extended family thanks "the thousands and thousands" of people who have sent condolence messages.
"Have you had enough Nazi, or do you want some more!"
Somehow, I don't think Rik would mind being mentioned, in the midst of a thread about a wacky song, like #Selfie..
Rik certainly knew how to rock a selfie!
I will miss you Rik!
