Would it be worth consolidating the RIP threads into one ongoing thread? I do like to see the notifications but it's a bit depressing to see 1/3 of the threads on the main page in this forum about RIP.

This thread should die before it gets going
RIP the other threads
At least we could consolidate Board-O ripping people in their death to one thread, instead of multiple

Yes, thereby running the risk of the entire generic RIP thread being deleted...
I truly believe that Board-O is really choked up about the death of the street poetry karaoke performer
RIP Trump wouldn't make me sad. Preferably before the convention.

You Can't Vote for him
You Don't have to live under him
So other than brain dead - WHY??
PS: Keep it cool so Mr. Taylor won't blow this away
When did ... die? Leaves - and & behind. So sad. 
OK, time to blow up this thread. 
I've been wondering, assuming that Trump and Clinton are the nominees, how badly does Donald lose?
Nobody could ever approach Jefferson's winning percentage, but I'm thinking that Hillary could challenge for the #2 slot given all of the gifts that Donald brings. Among female voters, could Donald get 25%? Latino voters?
What do you think?

Remarkable!
Izaak Walton could not have written it more beautifully.
I see a 3-person race. I cannot see Donald bowing out with a strong performance in the primaries. The next president will get 38% of the popular vote, and no one will be happy.

Yeah, the leader of the free world doesn't affect the rest of us at all...what was I thinking?
Just reported that Merle Haggard has died. 79 years old, country music legend.

A legend that will be missed. RIP
Just heard from a friend yesterday that Paloma matriarch Barbara Richards passed. I only had the pleasure of meeting her once, but my wife and I spent a very pleasant mid-morning with her and my buddy in her kitchen and back porch.
It was the complete opposite of the normal Napa visit and was quite literally a visit with an old friend in their home.
Unfortunately all my Paloma Merlot is gone or I'd open a bottle and enjoy it in her memory. She definitely left an impression on me and her passing brings a bit of sadness this morning. RIP Barbara.

All this talk about Prince and no love for Chyna, what gives?

William Schallert, one of the great character actors of my youth, with an unmistakable voice and a plethora of imdb credits.

I think it's bad juju if they do a retrospective of your career on TV at that age. Our local news just did a piece on Jane Little the oldest member of the ATL symphony and she died a few days later.
RIP Alan Young, Wilbur from Mr.Ed.

Did you notice his role as Rod Taylor's neighbor in The Time Machine?

Also if you've never seen it, there's a special feature on the DVD. Taylor comes back to London for return visit and meets up with Young. It was made, I think, just for the video and it's very neat to see the two of them together again much older.
Do you mean something recorded later, or something in the movie when they met when they were older? I think the older meeting was included in the movie, but it's been many years since I've seen it.

"In 1993 a combination sequel-documentary short, Time Machine: The Journey Back, directed by Clyde Lucas, was produced. In its third section, Michael J. Fox talks about his experience with the Delorean sports car time machine from Back to the Future. In the short's final section, written by screenwriter David Duncan, Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell reprise their roles from the original 1960 film."
This was apparently done for PBS. Both actors of course were 23 years older than in the original movie. When the movie was released on DVD they cut everything else out except for the reunion scene of these two actors.
My mother took me to it in 1960 at the great Avalon Theatre in Chicago. The Morlocks scared the shit out of me. Funny now when you see their "scary" eyes are simply light bulbs.

How very sad. I enjoyed meeting his wife, Molly, one time but never had the privilege of meeting Donn. Very good wines, although their Signature bottling unfortunately (for me) became a bit rich for my taste.

I wish I had seen it.
Rick MacLeish, ex-Flyers great. Scored arguably the biggest goal in team history. A smooth skater in an era of few of them, possessed a deadly wrist shot and all around cool guy. I got to meet him several times at a local watering hole in my home town.
Gordie Howe, hockey great.

A legend of the game. One the the original giants of the game. RIP
Never saw him live in the NHL, but it was cool to catch him with his 2 sons with the Houston Aeros in the old WHA when he was in his mid 40s.
Growing up in Detroit, Gordie Howe was a childhood hero to me.
