I certainly hope he is, too.
I enjoyed him.

I would like to be able to use admin tools to search and list the handles of well known users who suddenly went cold turkey.
Hopefully not died but I'm sure a good number yes.

Only meaning of "going cold turkey" I'm aware of is stopping a habit abruptly. Hopefully, unit2sucks is having a great life.

I hope he went to Ukraine to fight with the Nazis in the cause he believed so deeply

I can't believe Little Orphan Annie is dead. What a hard knock life.

I prefer the original Steve Goodman version, but here is the perfect country song.

I'm sorry to hear about Little Orphan Annie. I hear Daddy Warbucks is doing well and owns Amazon and the Washington Post these days.

Daddy Warbucks, Albert Finney, knew how to toss back a cocktail. The old sot made it age 82.

My Craig Morton story:

It was probably in the early 2000's. I'm at work. The receptionist (remember those?) buzzes my office and says that Craig Morton was on the line for me. I knew it had to be my buddy, Tim, that always gave the name of a celebrity (often a famous Cal athlete) when he would call my office.

Knowing that it was Tim, I picked up the line and:

Me: "Hey Craig, how is your wing these days, are you still slinging those 50 yarders?"

Voice at other end: "Well, to tell you the truth, it ain't good and I probably can't throw one 10 yards."

Me (realizing it wasn't Tim): "HOLY SH@it! Is this The Craig Morton?"

Craig: "Well, you are really showing your age to even know who the H@ell I am."

I then apologized and explained why I thought he was going to be my friend Tim when I picked up and told him how honored I was to talk to him.

Craig explained that he was working for the Athletic Dept. getting season ticket holders to renew. We had a nice conversation for about 10 minutes. He was a great guy. I renewed.

Maybe there was a toxic dump under the frat/sorority sets.

Of the 220 cast and crew members of the 1956 film The Conqueror, 91 developed cancer and 46 died from it by 1980. Many believe this high rate was caused by radioactive fallout from nuclear tests in Nevada, as filming took place near St. George, Utah, where downwind fallout occurred.



*Some argue it was a punishment from God for participating in the making of arguably the Worst Movie All Time.

Jason was 47.

I met his twin Jarron at a classmates wedding up in Oakmont. Cool dude.

He was nearly 7 feet tall.
His Colombian wife Elsa was 5'2"

Formerly known as Mrs. Andy Williams.




* Prosecutors and investigators believed Claudine Longet had a motive to kill her boyfriend, Olympic skier Spider Sabich, on March 21, 1976, suggesting a "crime of passion" fueled by a volatile, ending relationship and intense jealousy, rather than the accidental shooting she claimed. While she claimed the gun discharged by accident, evidence pointed to a tumultuous, failing romance.

Had Morton showed up sooner, and Cal not been the run focused team… let's just say things might've been …
