Edward De Deado - inventor of term Lateral Thinking dies at 88.

Perhaps not all it was cracked up to be.

You say that but did anyone try it?

He also recommended shaving your chin by holding the razor still and moving your head. Because it would save energy.

Bit of a trickster.

I take it back

Linc from Mod Squad died the other day. They said he was on another thing too but I didn't watch it so I forgot.
I hid my broken collarbone from my parents because I thought it was dislocated, had just seen Linc get his re-located in the middle of crime fighting and it looked very painful.

The guy has appeared in a variety of different movies and an even bigger variety of roles over his five-decade-plus career

More roles than movies, you say?

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Squeal while I dig, boy.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

More roles than movies, you say?

Did a few tv shows, as well as films.

The new issue of Sight and Sound has a tribute to Norman Lloyd who died last month aged 106. In the 1930s he worked as a stage actor for Elia Kazan and Joseph Losey, then with Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre. He also played a villain in Hitchcock's Saboteur before working mainly as a TV director, including on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He later acted in St Elsewhere and as the headmaster in Dead Poets Society. And was apparently fit and healthy into his second century. 1914-2021!

[Satchmo Distel]

Norman Lloyd had three different roles in "Murder, She Wrote". As it ran for 264 episodes, they had to reuse actors.

There's a great Random Roles with him here: https://www.avclub.com/norman-lloyd-on-upstaging-orson-welles-and-playing-tenn-1798286982 where pleasingly he says that Richard Linklater's rather poor Me And Orson Welles was extremely inaccurate.

Damn, that's sad. What a needless way to go.

[JaDanketies]

What a life that John McAfee had. I believe there are conspiracy theories floating around about his death. I'm sure there'll be some good biopics made about that dude. The classic coder-to-warlord career pipeline.

Gunther from Friends is also likely to make this 2021 death list, as he's revealed he has stage four cancer.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

So long Mr McAfee.  You may be gone but your spirit and software stand sentinel in defence of my computer from viruses.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

He gave you some of his spirt? Golly.

Pope Francis currently is hospital for an operation...

[SpiderChrist]

Pope Francis currently is hospital for an operation...

He should probably operate on himself, being infallible and all.

[Butchers Blind]

Pope Francis currently is hospital for an operation...

Thoughts and prayers.

We lost Donald Rumsfeld the other day and nobody on here posted a respectful rip

there were two threads about him

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

If they don't want Popes dieing all the time, why don't they pick younger ones? The next one should be about 23. He'll last for ages.

[Leej88]

He was not cursed he was 91,RIP Richard

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Don't talk jive, Lee. It's perfectly possible to be both 91 AND cursed.

[Leej88]

Very true
