Minor (?) Celebrity Death News

Jim Carroll died. Died.

He was not my friend. And he died.

Honestly, I thought he was already dead. Dead. What do I know?

May he rest in peace.

Not that I ever gave real consideration, but he dissuaded me from doing Drano on my wedding night and ratting on bikers. Who to turn to for such guidance now?

too young to die
and query to BB: he did WHAT on your wedding night?!

Brian Busby said...

Umm... not that he was there, it's just that his words came to mind. Of course, on other nights I gave Drano serious thought.

I've actually passed his wisdom on to my children over the years. Any of them could tell you, do NOT try to beat a narco rap by ratting on some bikers, lest you get offed by the very same bikers. The great thing about JC's description of the Drano incident is that the new groom "o.d.'d" on it. Like there's the problem was that he took too much. Like there's a right amount of Drano to consume. Pure poetry.

Well sorry, never heard of the guy, but what about poor old Patrick Swayze?

Patrick Swayze lasted a lot longer than most people with pancreatic cancer. Good for him and his family.

Jim Carroll is Patrick Swayze's Farrah, I guess.

I'm glad Mr. A. will know this song because I have no idea what you're talking about.
