Not him too.........

I hate being the bearer of bad news, but if anyone hasn't heard, Chris
farley has died. He was one of my favorite actor, mainly because of his
high energy and great presence. The laughter he broght to folks
everywhere will be missed.
I declare December 18th to be AGFF Chris Farley day.

Amen. Farley was an actor I truly enjoyed watching, something I can't
say about many actors nowadays. His death saddens me as well.

Actually, Spade's been doing alright for himself. Farley never was on a
sitcom with him, after all. I've read a couple of reviews of Spin City that
say that Spade is one of the main reasons to watch the show. I've seen it a
couple of times, and I'd have to agree: he kicks the ass of any other
actor/actress on that show, except perhaps the woman from Dream On. I love
her. #;-}>
That said, I will miss Farley and his wonderful physical comedy. (sigh)

Nah. David Spade works fairly well on his own. Frankly, I never really
liked any of Farley's movies, but he certainly had a presence few comedy
actors have ever had, and will be sorely missed.

Atma's got a point, but take into consideration that loss of life in any
form is always tragic. Sure, Farley died because he was using drugs.
Princess Diana bought it in a car crash. If I cared to tear my hair out
about death, I'd do it equally for both of them.
I've been around for less than twenty years -- why do I get the feeling
that everything good about the elder world is dying, and it's taking the
younger world with it?

That was three months ago. Along with Princess
Diana. I can't believe Mother Teresa's death
could go by so quietly.... If I hadn't seen
it by chance while surfing the net, I would

Frankly, I think she would have wanted it that way. Mother Teresea never
thought she was anything special, just a person doing God's work. She
woulden't have wanted a huge fuss over her death, but since there had to be
one anyways, perhaps it was best she died when it would be overshadowed by
another death. If there is a God, I think She knew this, and chose to take
her then.

Not to mention he was abusing herion and cocaine..
Hey, have you noticed odd paralels between Farley and James Bulushi?
-Chris Farley's idol was James Bulushi.
-Both had drug and alcohol problems.
-Both made a name for themselves on SNL before moving on to movies...
-Although as of this writing it's not official, it's possible Farley died
of an overdose, the same thing that Bulushi died of.
-One of Bulushi's best-known charectars was "Samurai Tailor" (or
something...) Farley's last movie was called "Beverley Hills Ninja"
-Both died at the age of 33.
A bit spooky, ne? Kinda like that whole Lincoln/Kenedy thing...

I'm sorry, but I don't see how you can even compare the two. Farley probably
died because of drugs. From what I heard they said it looks like natural
causes. Natural causes just don't "happen" at his age. Farley, IMO, brought
it upon himself. We don't know what Farley's attitude was like, except that he
was a druggie. Diana died after spendding her life helpping others, and didn't
die because she brought it upon herself. (althought getting into a car with a
drunken driver didn't help.) Your statement is like saying if someone you
never heard of died, and your best friend died also, that you'd be equally
concerned with both, and that is just plain bull.

Nah. He has a semi-good sitcom on after Frasier.
Of course, he's also a bundle of neutronium weighing it down a tad.

Indeed. Just to get things straight here, Di died first, then Theresa, then
Hutchence, and now Farley. I think the closest to a month ago that someone
died was Hutchence.

I heard about it a couple of times, but certainly not as much as Di's.
Actually, I happened to be up late the night Di died, and I was watching TV
while the live reports came in, so I saw it all right when it was
happening.
I've got a rather bad joke about the whole thing, actually, from a friend
in London. I'll post it, but I'm putting an "offensiveness spoiler alert"

Okay. Everyone knows how Elton John rereleased Candle in the Wind when
Princess Di passed on. However, he has also released new songs for a couple
other celebrities who have died recently.
When Mother Theresa died, he released Sandles in the Wind.
And when Hutchence died, he released Dangles in the Wind.

That's okay, when I was in a MUD the other day some guy came in and asked us
where Princess Di was when she died in the car. Someone replied "in the back
seat". The guy then replied "wrong, in the back seat, on the dashboard, and in
the road." I'm not sure which joke is more tasteless....

He's said in an interview that he felt trapped by the "Fatty Falls Down"
characters he played, that he felt he always had to act outrageous, and it
confined him. He was trying to broaden his acting style, and I hear the new
movie with him coming out this spring was his start in that direction.
Unfortunately, he'll never be able to outgrow the sophmoric humor that so
many people will associate with him forever now.
For one thing, I was relieved to hear that he didn't take his own life.
When I first heard he was dead, I was thinking "God no, please let it have
been natural."

All that shows is that you and I view death in different ways.
You're right; If i did lose someone close to me and someone not so close
at the same time, how I cared about the former would determine how I
mourn. But life or death, heaven or hell: all that remains in the end is
how much faith you've got in whatever you believe in you when you buy
it.
I'll stand by what I said -- death is death.
Mother Theresa, Michael Hutchence, Chris Farley, Princess Diana -- all
of them died, and regardless of what they did in their lives, their
afterlives will be based on what they believed in. I find any death
worth grieving over, but take into consideration that no death is any
less important that another.
Simply because one is a princess and the other a drunkard is no reason
to disregard the similarity. It's the human factor that matters, and
neither office nor occupation that can alter that.

Neither of them are, IMO. The former is just funny, since it's really
making fun of Elton John, and the latter is just the truth. After
all, my chemistry teacher gave us a little physics lesson about how
the amount of force being put on Diana's body at the time of the crash
had to have crushed her and flung her all over the place.

Woah, when did Chris Farley die??? I don't read all the posts in here and live
inside all the time so I never heard this! Truely a terrible tragedy. Did
someone say it was a drug overdose?

It doesn't matter how they died. The point is,they're both dead
now.Both were trying to start their lives over: Di was trying to love
again after divorcing Charles, Chris Farley was trying to slow down
and take control of his life. It's bad that they died,but a few good
things have come out of it,too: because of the way Diana died, the
papparazzi is learning (slowly) that their place is at hollywood
premieres and not in the stars' bedrooms. Maybe a few young stars will
see what happened to Farley and take control of their lives before its
too late.The point is,it's not your place to judge someone because of
the way they died. Nothing personal, Atma; its just that I believe
that its not our job to pass judgement on people.

Ummm, dying of a drug abuse isn't usually considered
to be "death by natural causes". At least, not in my
book.

Oh come on, Farley was a nice guy. His SNL compadres are describing him as
a sweetheart, the nicest guy they knew, etc. etc. (and they said similar
stuff BEFORE he died, so it's not just to be polite). He may not have been
as generous and sacrificing as Diana was, but he was a very self-effacing
comedian.
And to go out in front of the world and dance next to Patrick Swayze with
your gut spilling over your pants takes guts, humility, and a sense of
self-worth. He was an admirable man for many of his qualities (except for
those that got him killed). Hell, even MLK was a womanizer. Everyone can't
be a saint, Atma.

To quote CNN's article:
"The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said an autopsy was completed
Friday but it would be "several weeks" before a cause of death is
announced.
The medical examiner's office said toxicological tests will be done to
determine if there are "chemical agents that may have caused or contributed
to his death."
The first reports I heard said that a fireman told a reporter that he died
of cardiac arrest, and nothing more. No one (in the public, at least) can
say whether he died because of a drug overdose or because of long-term
effects of high blood pressure or whatever. Let's not jump to conclusions.

No, but you were talking about how Diana was such a good person and how she
wasn't at fault for her own death. Thereby indirectly insulting Farley.

You're telling me that, even though it's been in the news for the past
two days, you haven't heard about it? Wow.
Anyway, he died in a Chicago apartment Thursday. No official cause
has been given (nor will be until the autopsy reports are released in
two weeks), but most people agree that it was either a heart attack or
accidental drug overdose.

My point is it wasn't "natural causes"..... "natural causes" is dying of a
heartattack at 85. Natural causes is dying of old age at 92. Natural causes
is NOT O.D.'ing on something at 33.

I didn't say Farley was bad, I said Diana spent her life helpping others, and
Farley did not. Not many people do. Do you have to be insulting someone else
to say something nice about someone?

From what I understand, AOL is branching out into other countries, so

But all of the other AOL's have something like .jp or .uk, so I'm

Where was that in question? If Diana was just "another person living down
the street", as you say, then she wouldn't be being remembered... And I'd
contest the idea that she would be remembered as strongly if not for her
position... Many people have done better things than she has (not to
discount her work), and yet haven't been as strongly remembered because of
their social position. It's one of the regrettable facts about society.

The fact that Mother Teresa died around the same time as she did, yet
didn't get as much media attention, proves that.

In a side note, I think I remember why I thought he died a month ago or so
(don't flame for not quoting and such, and if don't know, ignore and read
the next message). It wasn't a month ago that he died. It was a month or
so ago that he appeared on Letterman, right?

Exactly. Fame tends to have the effect of magnifying the famous person's
actions in the public eye. Both in the negative and positive directions,
though.

What is a merkin? An American??? Interesting abbreviation... Hell, I'd even
expect a lot of .jp's and .hk's to know who MLK is. Seriously, though, I'm
sure Atma knows but just didn't recognize the initials. That's amazing to
me, though, because after JFK and FDR, MLK has the most recognizable
initials from this century.

Really? I'd've figured that after JFK and FDR would be MTY or SSD.

Isn't it amazing how this thread has turned from someone informing people that
Farley died to.... whatever the hell this is. Anyway, yes, I will say that
making people forget their worries isn't helpping them. Obviously, whatever
was worrying them is still there after Farley hits the punch line. They've
just ignored it for a while, and thus it has probably, in fact, gotten WORSE.

"Naturalness" is relative. Dying from bad eating and drug habits at 33 is a
helluvalot less natural than dying from old age, but it's also a helluvalot
more natural than jumping off a building.

There you go again, who are you to say he didn't help anyone? In my case,
Diana never helped me personally, but Farley made me laugh. So I guess
Farley was the one who helped people, eh? They BOTH helped, in their own
way. You just insulted him by saying he didn't help people, man! In three
words, "Farley did not," you basically trashed his entire career of trying
to make people laugh. Spreading happiness and laughter is very helpful.

I believe I saw someone post to this before, but anyway.... She wouldn't be
receiving international attention for dying, she'd be a footnote on the
local news in whatever city she did her charity works, and no one from the
next state, let alone the next continent, would know or care about who she
was or what she did.

Bono, for one. The last song on Unforgettable Fire (1984) is named MLK, and
it never mentions him by name. For that matter, neither does Pride (In the
Name of Love), on the same album, which is about him. Most calendars I've
seen have it as "MLK day," and I've seen many people online who refer to
him as MLK, just as they refer to John F. Kennedy as JFK and Franklin
Delano Roosevelt as FDR. For some people, the initials are widely
recognized, you know, it's not a matter of laziness.
And if you still think it is, I'd like to see you post on this ng for one
week without using BTW, AFAIK, LOL, etc. etc. #;-}>

Who's your favorite celeb? Mine simply HAS to be Keith Richards. I don't
know who does his voice, but there was one episode a few years ago where he
started yelling about how he was watching Conan's show before and suddenly
Conan turned into a big eagle, came out of the TV, and started attacking
him or something. It was pretty trippy. #;-}>

Hey, I'd say that a high-speed impact with a hard surface is completely

Don't get technical with me. #;-}> I didn't say it wasn't a natural
physical event, just not a natural way to die, since most people DON'T die
that way, AND since you have to throw yourself (or be thrown) off the
building in most cases. Relative to that, ODing on a drug is more often
accidental than intentional. Dying of old age is seldom intentional, but
even then, I've heard of cases. #;-}>

The really sad thing is that he might go the way of Farley sooner or
later. He's obese enough, after all.
Anyway, from the three or four episodes that I've seen (I'd probably
watch more if I took the time to), the funniest sketches have to be
the parodies on "The More You Know" broadcasting messages.
[paraphrased] "While you're eating your Thanksgiving dinner, I want
you to think about the people who have to go out in the cold and do
their job while you are safely in the warm indoors: Hookers."
I also like how well Conan and Andy can make up for even the most
obvious mistakes. Has anyone seen the latest Bloopers and Practical
Jokes? On there, they showed a part of one episode where they were
doing an analogy sketch and the foley man messed up on the timing for
the "correct" buzzer. Afterwards, Conan says, "Alright, here's the
next one: Good timing is to bad timing as a good TV show is to?"
Andy replies, "_This_ show." And, of course, the foley man rings the
"correct" buzzer on time.

European term. A bit of a habit from when I was read alt.fan.pratchett
and alt.books.pratchett, which were both had a majority of British
(and Europe proper, to a lesser extent) posters. Generally the term is
used in conjunction with "stupid" or "arrogant" but it's hardly a
requirement.

And they're really easy to figure out even if you've never heard the
initials used. I didn't, and after about half a second figured it out.
Which is what bugs me. Critical thinking, anyone? It's not even that
critical.
And personally, I'd expect more .uk's to know it - but then, I don't
know how much Americana Japanese schools teach.
