In the early 90s, in Saudi Arabia, there were two national tv channels. Channel 1 and Channel 2. During the month of Ramadan, right after we break our fast, we would run to the tv room and tune in to channel 2. A spotlight would frame a door and the announcer would go, "...ladies and gentlemen, Bob Saget!" He would walk in with his signature suit and greet the crowd. America's funniest home video was one of the few A…

That is so cool!

I believe he was known for doing a lot of coke in the 80s and 90s so perhaps he just ran his body hard in his youth and 65 is where his body ended up.

But did he suck dick for coke? That's an addiction.

Right, coke's not that great of a drug. That dick sucking is a hell of an addiction, man.

Thanks, that's great to read. In case my comment was taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to imply he OD'd or anything, I meant to imply that he didn't seem to be one that would OD, and 65 is relatively young to go unexpectedly. Shocked me!

I only know him from Full House runs in Pakistan :)

I've noticed recently a number of celebrity death stories pointedly don't explain the deaths. Is this pure coincidence, or is this a kind of deliberate practice?

I have noticed this happening a lot more frequently since Covid.

There have been several study findings already that showed a measurable increase in heart attacks and aneurisms post COVID. Presumably due to clotting and other damage caused by the virus.

There is also some increase in those due to vaccine, but I'm not sure if it would be statistically enough to even register.

It doesn't have to work for you. It's alright for other people to draw their own conclusions.

Sorry, per the comment I was still responding to, it still doesn’t “clear it up” for me. The presumption was then that what works for them should work for me. The clarification did not clarify it for me. They had the expectation, not me.

I think it's a mistake to hear someone say "that's great" and infer from it that they have an expectation that you also think it's great. It's clearly a personal feeling about the situation, not an expectation of you.

When I read of someone dying prematurely, I actually find it reassuring if the person OD'd -- it's an identifiable cause that I can avoid in my life. Seeing people drop dead for no apparent reason causes me more anxiety! I can see the flip side though, that it having been preventable makes it more tragic.

I feel better about someone going peacefully in their sleep than in terrible pain

Oh shit. RIP. I've just been rewatching How I Met Your Mother and I can never forget Bob's voice as older Ted. I was disappointed they didn't use him for the final episode.

Full House was life as a child. RIP Danny Tanner.
