RIP Norman Dale

 I might need to test the Caine-Hackman theory this weekend as long as George Clinton doesn’t show up at the house.

    he, his wife, and his dog were all found dead. i think you need to work on a different theory.

    Police report no suspected foul play. Story could change but I was assuming this was something more tragic vs a murder suicide.

    Norman Dale, Popeye Doyle, Lex Luthor, Little Bill, the Secretary of Defense, and Royal Tenenbaum, among many, many others.

    Dude could crush a role, especially if it were to play the part of someone lots of people hated.

    There was a lovely remembrance of Hackman posted to BlueSky today by user Drew McWeeny (name sounds familiar). He paints Gene to be a real one.

    Happy Birthday to Mr. KQ, top-level rugger and quintessential beer drinker.

    Happy bday Mr. KQ! I just learned that zdaughter gets to pick a foreign language next year and there are four options: Spanish (right), French (sure), Chinese (oh wow), and American Sign Language (um what?!). I assume ASL is in the mix as an anti-woke measure for the parents who don't want their kids to learn an unAmerican language.

    ASL will be very useful if you’re my friend, as my ears are following in the earsteps of my father’s and are worsening by the day. I used to know rudimentary ASL when I worked at the nonprofit serving folks with disabilities but that’s gone by the wayside now.

    my son Alex turns 21 this weekend! wild.

    and obviously the two dogs that survived committed murder. hackman and his wife obviously gave the deceased dog extra treats . . . you can't play favorites with pets.

    We say “Not great, Bob!” so often in our house that my 13 year old who’s never seen a minute of Mad Men regularly says it as well.

    All packed for New Orleans. Can’t. Fucking. Wait.

    Apparently Trump and Vance thought some groveling and fellatio was in order when Zelenskyy arrived. From a guy who’s had Russian bombs dropped all over his country for the last 3 years. I wish he’d punched DT in the throat.

    i had precisely the same thought. those two cowards thought they’d ambush a dude who’s got more guts in his pinky than they’ll ever possess.

    I just watched a video clip. This essentially guarantees that the rest of Europe steps up even more to support Ukraine, right? Dude walked into the Oval Office and took zero shit.

    Well, I agree with the previous comments except for one simple point…
