Paul Ritter of Friday Night Dinner, Chernobyl, and Harry Potter has passed away from a brain tumor at age 55 (articles keep saying wrong age)

Big fan of his, saddened by this loss. 55 is way too young.

Yeah, that sucks about DMX, listened to lots of his stuff in my teens and 20's.

I guess they actually pulled the plug on him.

Probably for the best...if he was out as long as they say he was before they got help...and if he did manage somehow to pull through, he'd likely be a vegetable.

Humpty Dance was one of those songs that I was always really surprised that nobody did a Stepmania/DDR track for, so I made my own:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,136634.msg1572511.html#msg1572511

Hard to believe that's been 5 years.  It's a well worn classic on my setup.

Yea, this one kinda sucks. It's one of those party songs that once you're singing it, you can't get it out of your head.

He took advantage of stupid and desperate people to get rich so yeah, a real scumbag.   Then again he didn't rob anybody.... all those people gave him their money.  I think the lesson here is if a preacher asks for money and you aren't allowed to see the receipt for what they purchased to help the needy, maybe, I dunno, don't trust them.

Who could ever forget that bedroom scene with the St. Bernard... and I'm pretty sure the Ali G movie paid it an homage except that our titular hero decided to go with it when he discovered it was the dog....  :lol
