Bugger.  36 is no age to go.

RIP    :(

Santa's Boyfriend

Is it me or has the last 48 hours been particularly deadly for celebrities?

Uncle TechTip

How can a skeleton die? It's a skeleton. Are you saying he has a brain up there? How does it stay in place? Surely it would just ooze out of the nasal cavity and eye orbits.

I always wondered how he managed to talk without his jaw falling off.

Give it a few days lads. Now is not the time to dissect Skeletor's role in the mismanagement of Eternia.


Just try and remember how he loved a joke. Always cackling over something. RIP

PaulTMA

Too sad to.  Type long sentences.  Though I wasn't a big fan but...

Bugger.  :(

Pity, outlived by that pious cunt He-man too, theres no fucking justice.

non capisco

A talented mimic too. His John Inman always had them rolling in the aisles at the Snake Mountain christmas party.

He played a very convincing Nixon in Frost Nixon too.

Skeletor gave me my first real job back in the late eighties. I'd been studying evil, with electrical engineering, at Greyskull Poly and he hired me straight out of the fold. This was back in the days when people were saying you couldn't apply evil to EE, but he took a chance on us - that's what he did, he took chances. And tried to kill He-Man. You've all heard the stories about how he treated his staff so it won't be a surprise to learn he boiled some of us in acid or fed us to monsters! But, beneath all that, in his quieter moments, he really was a horrible person. I'll never forget the time he thought he had the better of He-Man and then at the end it turned out He-Man had beaten him again.

I'll miss him for the rest of my life.

RIP

Did someone mention Thundercats?

Word is now emerging that he passed away after a liaison in one of Snake Mountain's many bedrooms with Fisto:

^^^ Dera lord, I cant think of any other kids cartoon (or show for that matter) with so many sexual references/undertones. I mean he man himself walks around flashing his large powerful weapon about dressed in nothing more than bondage gear. while battling the sort of iron fisted wanker shown above.

This is a real pity, I had tickets to see him in the touring production of 'The 39 Steps' as Richard Hannay in November.

Whoever said Skeletor was a skeleton should be ashamed of themselves.


Take another look at the rippling muscles on his body and tell me he's a skeleton.


What he is is inconsistent.

He's just magical. It's a fruitless exercise pondering his biology. He just laughs manically at all such attempts.

It's "skellington".  He's Skellingtor.

He's a muscular man with a Skeleton for a face, it's not complicated. But like everything about Skeletor, his unusual appearence just seems a bit pointless.

CaledonianGonzo

Though biologically inconsistent, Skeletor is handy in a fight.  Unlike Mekaneck:

So as Skeletor's corpse decomposes, does his face slowly build up flesh until you end up with a skeleton body but a normal skin covered head?

My cousin had the toy of that waspman but the wings were shit and snapped off.

Please - his name was (IIRC) Buzzz-Off.

No, you're just being silly now.

The idea of posting fake death threads, has died.

I actually have a funny story involving Skeletor. Well, not that funny really, but I'm telling it anyway.

I was developing some new functionality along the lines of visualizing multi-layered oil pipelines schematics or something boring for our main software application. To spice up my development I like to take pictures from cartoons and use them as test data, and I only had one diagram to work with, so Skeletor was a natural choice of picture. I had to write it at short notice and I was collared in by the CEO for a demonstration with some of my colleagues, because he wanted to try and sell it later. Now, he's a very straight-laced humourless chap this CEO, and indeed looked a bit like yer man Skeletor. So as I was giving a run through of where I was, and the topic turned to switching between images. Up until this point, I was showing everything with the actuall schematic I had to hand, but I realised a little too late, and just as I switched who appeared on the projected screen but:



Immediately, everyone started in the room started to piss themselves laughing, but as I turned to the boss-man, I saw the most unimpressed face ever, not a single chuckle left his mouth. I carried on explaining how in production, we wouldn't have any supervillains popping up, and it would in fact be a more detailed diagram. However, I was left in quite bad books with him for a while .

The mind boggles as to how anyone can look 'a bit like Skeletor', someone with a blue muscly body and a yellow featureless face stripped of all flesh. Having said that. my sister's ex-boyfriend did bear a remarkable resemblance to Snarf from Thundercats. I guess it's more in the demeanour.

Sadly, GIS isn't offering up a photo of Bez wearing a hoody.

biggytitbo

Skeletors face wasn't the only part of his body that was a skeleton, he also had a skeletal arse. He finds it very hard getting any purchase when he's having a dump, I hear.
