Banshees Scream

The Dead Of 2009

Recommended Posts

Film director John Hughes has died of a heart attack while taking a morning walk.

 

It's clearly not a good year for icons from the 80's

 

Ugh ... why do I feel so saddened over this guy's passing? :bat:

 

I know why ... I'm in my mid to late 20s and I already feel like I'm old. The icons of my youth are fading away so quickly. It's one thing to lose guys like Walter Cronkite and Karl Malden. Although their deaths were sad, they were very old anyway so they didn't really affect me, especially since their peak was way before my time.

 

But to lose guys like Michael Jackson and John Hughes is sad b/c you realize that you can't turn back time to a more innocent youth. John Hughes was another individual who influenced my youth. I simply love his movies, especially his classics The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Baitullah Mehsud, Pakistani Taliban leader, who has been picked by four teams on the DDP, is reported to be in a coma suffering from diabetic and kidney complications.

 

Conflicting reports that he isdead or not dead.

He might be dead this time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8188859.stm

 

Even the Taliban themselves are confirming his death now

Too bad no one picked former VFL player Laurie Bickerton on the DDP: he's just died on his 92nd birthday. Of course, I haven't seen a proper obit yet...

 

Its a little sad to see a player of Fitzroy's last premiership team go the way of the club itself, I don't know about the other resident Australians but I'm not a fan of the Lions.

Indeed there's only one more of them left too: 98 year-old Clen Denning.

Do you have examples? Links maybe? Something that proofs your interesting thesis?

When DDT says they're dead, they usually are. Likewise if he says they're going to die, they'll be dead within the week :unsure:
