No more dead guy postings, please.
I can't take it any more.
It's getting dark, to dark to see,
..... You know the rest.

Well, if everyone would just stay alive, we wouldn't need any goodbye threads! 
 
(BTW - Abe Vigoda, aka "Fish" on the Barney Miller Show, just passed away...)

This keeps up and we're going to need a special forum section for all these posts. :(

 
 
Death can be fatal.

That's deep...

I propose an anti death thread. Say who famous or nice person is getting a new born child.

That's deep...

..and wide.

FWIW, I've been thinking the same thing. It has made me much too aware of my age, how quickly I went from feeling strong and young to well, you know the rest... and in that short amount of time again, without the inevitable, I will be really old.
I should think more like my dad did. He was ALWAY feeling GREAT! No matter what, "I'm GREAT".
 
I'm going to get off the "woe is me, I'm getting old". It's depressing.
 
I'm GREAT! (but I agree, not so many obits, at least until Keef actually dies.)

"Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living."
 
- Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey)
 
Of course that was in 1968, when there were fewer people on the Earth. It's probably more like 15 dead per living person now, or about 107 billion 'ghosts'.

Hi,
 
A bit strange, but I fit into the surrealist area when it comes to these things ... have a drink ... go party!
 
Celebrate ... the wonderful things that you learned from that person and anything else ... but sitting back and crying is not gonna help. Some folks will be missed, but then you and I don't sit here and say we miss Mozart, Beethoven or Bach ... so end of story!
