RIP Thread

[Squanto Airi]

That's your great uncle.
It's important to know your family. I spent my life basically ignoring my great uncle, then he died and I had to go through his shit. A lotta stories left untold I wish he was around to explain
RIP though

Thanks. I'll try to talk to my grandma about him at a better time, but even when I lived with her for a year, I'd rarely see him, even after my granddad's death.

I do need to start doing a family tree too.

I can relate. You'll be forever wondering what all those rubber penises were for

Lauren Bennett, singer who was on the LMFAO and GoonRock song Party Rock Anthem, died at the age of 37.

“Her cause of death is currently unknown, and a coroner's inquest is expected to take place in October 2026.” Gotta be drugs, right?

Wow. This makes me sad. Lasser was in some interesting projects. Worked with Woody Allen in several pictures. She was in Mystery Men. She even had a part in Frankenhooker.

Great Uncle D was a real G, boom boxes with Ozzy stickers, random booze bottles signed by names I can't decipher, wooden penises, none of that soft boy shit

Or suicide…or suicide by drugs.

An interesting and lulzworthy tidbit about Bonnie Tyler is how she tried to film a music video at an actual prison, but lied to the inmates by having them told that she was performing a free concert:

RIP Bonnie, they don't make voices like that any more (or haircuts, thankfully).

 

[Your Starter for 10]

And yet Bonnie Raitt still walks the earth. Proof that God has abandoned us.

Thank you for helping make one of the greatest moments in Christory.

Yeah, Total Eclipse of the Heart is an awesome song

 

[Jack Garland]

Total Eclipse of the Heart is such a good song and has spawned countless parodies, including forum favorite Total Eclipse of the Shart.
Holding Out for a Hero stands the test of time for being "cornykino."

Yeah, you really can't hate that song blasting in the background as Johnny Fucking Five Tarzan'ed his way across NYC to chase down an old fart doddering around the port trying to escape with the proceeds of a diamond heist. lol that movie was so fucking bizarre but that scene was pretty kino (mostly because of the song).

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

That was the first "literal version" I ever saw, and probably the best. RIP.

For me it's Shrek 2, even though I believe it's a cover of the original.
