[BigEd76]

A new year, a new list of dead people

Sir Edmund Hillary

[MadMarchHare]

Vampira from Plan 9 from Outer Space

[MadMarchHare]

Some more, since we're behind:

Prior Red Sox owner Buddy LeRoux

CIA turncoat Phil Agee

Jim Dooley, player and coach of Chicago Bears

Johnny Grant, honorary mayor of Hollywood

[Diomedes]

We're not behind..those people aren't famous enough to mention.  If you gotta say more than the dead farger's name, then they fail the Dio test.

[MadMarchHare]

Come on, Dio.  I'm sure I'd heard of Agee before.  Fled to Cuba, and wrote a book about all the CIAs secrets.

Dooley got front page treatment on ESPN when he passed.

Johnny Grant had been present to emcee every star on Hollywood blvd for like 30 years.

Dio, you just got Hared!

[Diomedes]

I just got dick.

If when you say the motherfarger's name, no one know's who the farg that is, so you gotta say some other shtein to clarify, then the dead farger ain't shtein.

[Feva]

I just got dick.

You don't know how jealous you just made Chuggie.

Well, he's still dead in 2008, so that's sort of evergreen.

Actor Brad Renfro, 25 years old. Probable OD.

I only knew him as the main kid in Bully, but here's his IMDB listing.

I'm sure Dio hasn't heard of him, but he is a bigwig in cancer research, and is solely responsible for 3 marketed anti-cancer drugs, and numerous others in development.
