Dead Celebrity Thread

You know, I really don't give a damn about celebrities. And she was certainly not cut down in her prime. But I'm getting tired of hearing about people dying whose names I recognize and have encountered in various ways for a very long time. Really, it's enough.

In honor of Henry Heimlich...

Eddie Izzard's skit on him still kills me.

Fuck you, 2016. I'm going to wear a leather jacket and go lean against a jukebox somewhere now.

Let's just hope that Carrie Fisher can hold out.

@Derp Why? Better she should die quickly than hold on for no reason. There were reports she was on a ventilator which leads me to believe she never regained consciousness. Which leads me to believe, perhaps pessimistically, that she's only alive because of machines and they don't want to switch them off during the holiday.

I hope she recovers. But I've already added her to 2016's hit list regardless of what the calendar says.

@TNP My grandmother was on a ventilator after her heart attack and she lived a couple of more years after that. (Trying to put those positive vibes out there despite 2016).
