I'm calling Buzz Aldrin for 2016 too.
The guy's too ornery to die. He'll turn into hardwood before he's dead. Or, apparently, die while doing things that people half his age couldn't even attempt.

@Tinuviel Que? 
@Tinuviel Truth be told, I'm sorta glad he passed on. His later years were a fucking nightmare for him. If the nightmare can't be lifted, death is better.
Rest in Peace, Manuel.
@WTFE Agreed, but still it's hard to hear that such an iconic figure of one's childhood has ceased to be.

I don't want to jinx it but one of humanity's moon-walking astronauts had to be air-lifted out of of the South Pole due to some sort of emergency. I will not write his name here. Come on, 2016, fuck off.

He was named a few posts back, Ark.
@Tyche More accurately, one of the people credited with inventing the dish. The story of that dish is pretty murky. About the only thing we know for certain is that General T'so never ate it. 
@WTFE I recall reading the discussion here of how the Americanized versions may or may not have ruined it.
On the bright side, if I continue to eat the Kung Pao chicken I might well live to 98.
@Tyche There is only "Americanized" General Tso's chicken. It's an American-Chinese dish. It has never been seen in China until there was a vain attempt to introduce it here in Hunan.
Shit. I had missed hearing that Alan Vega had died.

FUCK YOU 2016!!! FUCK YOU SO MUCH!!! 
@Miss-Demeanor Dammit.
OH GOD I CAN NEVER WATCH MY FAVORITE CHEESEBALL ROMANTIC COMEDY AGAIN NOW, EVER.
...the further we get into 2016, the more I become convinced we're all living in fuckin' Flashpoint. <GrumpyCat face>
@WTFE That really does about sum it up. If I could upvote that shit a dozen more times, I would.

The comments tho.
Youtube has a comments section? I don't see it.
(Seriously, I don't. Because I adblocked the motherfucking section. Like I adblock almost every comments section anywhere.)
2016, don't you fucking DARE.
Maester Aemon. I mean sure, he was 93, it's not completely unexpected. But just go away already 2016. We need a break. Maybe we can talk and be friends later, but for now I'm done with you.
