Here's the thing.Whether you think Steve Irwin was a great man or a loon is really beside the point.Think about it.You KNOW who he was and his message got to you like it or not.The guy didn't give a rat's butt if you loved him or hated him as long as you got the message that it was the animals that counted and he made us pay attention to that.Sometimes ya just do what you're put on this earth to do and you're smart enough to enjoy and embrace it like Irwin did.Would that we all knew our own missions in life so clearly.

Marilyn Monroe Was Murdered: New Details
by PenultimateManStanding » Wed 18 Oct 2006, 21:12:22
Looks like maybe the Mafia had her bumped off. They stuck a toxic suppository up her butt. They wanted her private journal, which they found under her matress. This seems to somehow tie in with the JFK assassination. I'm not on board with the 911 conspiracy folks, but I am more willing to think that JFK's death was whitewashed. I've heard so many of the theories, though, that it's hard not to figure that it will forever remain successfully covered up. Now there's a new one that says some French assassin was involved. Something to do with Viet Nam.

Isn't it now a fact that there was a "conspiracy" involved with JFK? I thought in 79 they said there was a 4th bullet.
I only recently watched the JFK movie by Oliver Stone.. good stuff. One of costners best roles maybe.

Actress Yvonne De Carlo Passes On
Actress Yvonne De Carlo Dies At Age 84
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('source', 'W')OODLAND HILLS, Calif. -- Yvonne De Carlo, the stunning Paramount starlet who won acclaim as Moses' wife in "The Ten Commandments" but is best remembered as TV's Lily Munster, has died. She was 84.
De Carlo, born Peggy Yvonne Middleton in Vancouver, British Columbia, died last night at the Motion Picture & Television Fund's Retirement Home in Woodland Hills, where a source confirmed news of her death.
As the elegant vamp in the CBS show "The Munsters" (1964-1966), De Carlo starred opposite Fred Gwynne as the matriarch of a decidedly offbeat but well-meaning family. The characters were modeled on classic monsters except for ugly duckling daughter "Marilyn," the only actress who did not appear in heavy makeup.

The characters were modeled on classic monsters except for ugly duckling daughter "Marilyn," the only actress who did not appear in heavy makeup.
You know, it's always kind of bothered me - about that Munster's character, 'Marilyn' - she was the only one that wasn't a ghoul of some kind. In fact, she was just the opposite - your typical drop-dead gorgeous blonde bombshell from early sixties.
But she actually could have been the TV shows MOST ghoulish character when you think about it. I mean, 'Marilyn' had those sort of beautiful-but-dead looks that sort hover in everyone's Hollywood lore-consciousness.
Like, she could have easily been riding in that Spider sportscar when James Dean cracked it up on Deadman's Curve or Mulholland Drive or wherever it was. Or she could have been that famous young woman's ghost that haunts that cemetery near Chicago and who occasionally hitchikes rides from young men. You know what I mean? She looks like a ghost - like the ghost of a young beautiful woman who has died unrequited.
Now, why on Earth didn't the producers of the Munsters recognize this obvious ghostly aspect of 'Marilyn' and make her character actually BE a ghost?!! Why!! It was staring them in the face! She could have fit right in with all of the other Munsters characters!
They could have used all sorts of double-exposure tricks and fade shots with the camera to create a ghostly aspect and to have 'Marilyn' just dematerialize in front of people or walk through walls or even, YES, hitchhike alongside a graveyard! Wow! When guys came to pick her to go dancing, they could have all remarked at how "cold" her hands felt and little things like that. 'Marilyn the Unrequited Ghost' might have even been able to be a little risque - for example, putting the outrageous scenario in front of viewers of some slick playboy getting lucky with a dead chick - and then realizing it as she fades away afterwards or something.
But, it doesn't seem like the idea ever even occured to the producers and it seems like the whole 'Munsters' TV show was never quite as good as it could have been. Next time your watching the Munsters, check out the character 'Marilyn' and you'll see what I mean. She only functions like a timid straight-man to the others' comedy. Mailyn just never seemed to fit in. It seemed to sad.
And the whole thing seemed really unfair to the actress who played 'Marilyn' - didn't she think of the 'Gorgeous Ghost' idea herself? The idea just seems so impossible to NOT think of in the context of all those others - a Frankenstein's Monster (Herman), A little Werewolf (Eddie), A Count Dracula character (Granpa) and... hey what was Yvonne De Carlo's character supposed to be anyway?

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

I never found her even the least bit attractive. There's just something about whores that turns me off. Call me old-fashioned, I don't care, but people like her are too "TV" and fake to be attractive.
I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God. - Rabia

Hell no, just feel like giving pity compliments on her day of death.
I'm nice like that.

It's a sad story. Her 20-year-old son died back in September and I can gurantee you that her suicide is a direct response to that tragedy. Despite all of the jokes we all made about her while she was alive, we should at least wait a day before mocking the dead.
I would be lying if I said that I am surprised about the dehumanizing of Anna Nicole Smith after only what, an hour???
