Eddie Haskell died.
I don’t feel too bad though. If there’s anyone who could talk his way past the Pearly Gates, it’s Eddie.
I never saw an episode of The New Leave It to Beaver show from the ‘80s, but fondly recall reading this blurb in the TV listings: “Did Eddie Haskell really kill his wife?”
Guy was a mensch.
This is both sad (because he died, not necessarily because of the backstory) and really just utterly fascinating. I’m not familiar with the writer nor his work, but the (revised)* story was in this morning’s paper. Turns out he lived a mile or two from us. Sorry but it may be paywalled…
*Editor’s note: After initial publication of this article on May 22, The Washington Post learned that key elements of H.G.

This man was a legend in tropical ecology.

Awful year for jazz greats. Was going to post a link about him. After I went and looked around and worked out what his peak year for creative contributions to stone cold masterpieces was. I was trawling the late great McCoy Tymer’s discography with a friend when he died recently and we were absolutely dumbstruck by the amount of greats people made around then. Individually all these jazz greats were truly exceptional artists, but the whole scene was a genius too.
Oh! I remember his giant yellow umbrellas on the Ridge Route (I-5). He was an interesting artist.
Cue 20 different editorial cartoons showing a wrapped casket.
Having an actual acrobat as an action movie star just seemed like a no-brainer, but dear Dionysus that movie was silly.
Ron “Ginger” Thompson, record holder for outfield appearences with Carlisle United and founder of Carlisle City FC. He was selected for Carlisle United from a group of trialists by Bill Shankly, who was the manager of the team then.
Christo was two people. As he had to keep reminding journalists who ignored her contribution. I wonder why that is?
Given they were equal partners, compare these obits.
