The Death Thread

[CMRivdogs]

RIP Bill Mazeroski, 89 years young

Maz was probably the reason an 8 year old Cmrivpup, living in Western Pa became a baseball fan..

My wife got to meet him at an expo for a race in Fort Worth.

RIP Country Joe McDonald...

65 years old 😞

RIP Chuck Norris. He didn't die, he just elevated up. But before he did, he went to hell, gave Satan a roundhouse kick, and then headed up to the sky.

Add Mean Joe Greene of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I know he's got a lot of movies but for me my favorites were Delta Force and the Missing in Action movies.  Pillars of my middle school years and they were Cannon Films to boot.

Wow, that's wild! I don't remember where I read that but it might have been FB. I should know better if that's where it was. You can' trust squat on that site.

Good news just the same. He is one of my all time favorites.

Western Pa roots. However back in the 50s and 60s the Stillers were much the Same ole Lions. 
I started following the team in the early 70s. Not quite a Yinzer, but they are among the teams I watch. 
 

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I learned that Old Man Rooney was from Coulter, Pa. Just a few miles from where my Pa ancestors had settled.

AI has made FB almost unusable other than direct communication with people you know/trust and established groups you are a part of.  You all know I love space and get fed so much crap that's just plain wrong.  Nothing harmful but a 7 paragraph AI written spiel that looks like it was written by AI 4 years ago while still learning.  Same extends to entertainment.   

 

And when someone dies or a tragedy happens you get AI photos related to that.  "Oh, a flood happened, here's Mick Jagger, dressed like Mick Jagger, helping out."  "Oh, Robert Duvall died, here's his widow holding his Emmy and Oscar on his couch crying".

My mom reads this stuff and will say "I didn't know Jason Benetti had cancer and was dying".  Why did she say that?  It was on her Ipad.

Agreed. I have noticed it has recently gotten worse. I use a fake name instead of my own just for privacy and it allows me to read the local stuff, which is usually a real hoot. I think I read somewhere recently they are laying off more people. That will certainly make it better. /s
