I care...and to prove the point, I am blessing ye all with the following:
Charleton, you are dead. No more thoughts inside your head. Your hands are cold, so sad to say, You will not see another day. But I can still revel in thee, yes I can, Simply by watching The Omega Man. Your looks of bronze, your body lean, Like it was also in Soylent Green. And Planet of the Apes, wow, what a thrill, They should name your birth town Hestonville. You were simply fab on the big screen, But, alas, there, you'll no longer be seen. So, farewell, Chuck, you gun-toting looney The cimemas are now ruled by Mr. Clooney.
...please apologize for my typo..it should read "cinemas" not "cimemas"...
I guess by the end of my eulogy my eyes were water-logged and I hit the wrong key.
Sorry, Chuck!

PS: as for Sean's eulogy, I better started working on it now ...have to find words to rhyme with Goldfinger and Zardoz...somehow, I think Old Zinger and Hard Laws just won't cut it.
it's okay I thought it was Charleston Heston? it's actually Charlton without the e, so we're both wrong. Awesome poem! Is this what you do at work so early in the morning?

Wow. And to think they have given the job of Canadian Poet Laureate to someone else.
(I can only imagine the words of grief that will flow when Mr. Connery finally kicks the bucket...)

My mother always used to refer to him as Charleston Heston too.
Not that he was a big topic of conversation in our house. Only around Easter when Ben-Hur was on.
