To those no longer with us....

No political or religious topics please. Otherwise, anything goes, as long as we treat each other with respect.

Bob Uecker, 90. He was great as a real baseball announcer, and he stole scenes in the Major League movies with his wry commentary. I always liked his humor and humility when he discussed his own somewhat brief major league playing career. He joked that a highlight was getting walked by Sandy Koufax. That and his “great seats, buddy” Miller Lite commercial. Another good one gone. RIP.

You're right. He was a good one.

Big sads. Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks were big influences for me: probably Blue Velvet, the most.

I liked his version of Dune; at the theatre they gave out cheat sheets.
