When I was a teenager my aunt got me and my brother some tickets to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show - the original west end theater production: "you must see this". We had front row seats for a weekday matinee performance, Tim Curry was in the middle of a long run as Dr Frank-N-Furter - and boy, he blew our little socks off. I have never been present at such powerful stage magnetism before or since. The film versio…

He is beyond human sexuality in that. Just the perfect person for that role.

Yes, his immense sexuality was an experience to behold, as he strutted in his leather jock strap, fishnets and high heels.

I remember when a group of friends went to see Rocky Horror at Clinton Street theater here in Portland, not having any idea what we were getting ourselves into. What a memory. Rest in peace Tim Curry

When was that? Just went there last year - they technically never stopped the Saturday night shows during the pandemic, so we’d both have watched the same uninterrupted theatrical run…

Death comes in threes and they were both 80, could be a party soon

It's a fun myth but Parton and Curry already come fast on the heels of a few recent celebrity deaths: Sam Neill, Bonnie Tyler, Daveigh Chase, Hayden Panettiere, and Lindsay Graham.

> Curry had a stroke while receiving a massage This happened to an acquaintance of mine. He had a pain in his neck, and went to a chiropractor. The chiropractor massaged his neck, which released a blot clot that went into his brain and gave him a stroke. His life afterwards was severely degraded. He was only in his 40s. I'll never let a chiropractor touch me.

I have no idea why anyone ever does. It was invented before medical science was a thing by a guy with a 5th grade education and has been thoroughly debunked.

A few weeks ago I had Fable build https://curry-combat-2.com: Super Curry Combat II Turbo: Legend Edition, a Street Fighter clone where every fighter is a Time Curry character.

It, was to me, surprisingly good for an AI slop project. Though Fable not suggesting the Doctor from Red October or Homolka from Congo in its initial roster is the biggest indication to me that we're far from general AI.

Sam Neill (78), Bonnie Tyler (75), Daveigh Chase (35), Hayden Pantierre (36), Lindsay Graham (71)

Honestly, if I could make it to 70 I'd say I lived a good life. getting to 80 and outliving my grandpa would be great.

Then I see people barely older than me, who felt like they were just getting started go out way way way too young... and that just terrifies me.
