RIP Harlan Ellison

Godspeed you madman!

I like to imagine when Death came knocking for Harlan, that salty bastard kicked Death in the balls and had to be dragged away with the business end of the scythe.

RIP Ellison, you magnificent bastard.

I see it as Death had to get him while he was either asleep or his back was turned since he's too mean to be taken any other way. I'm gonna miss the guy as well (I got him to appologize to me, honest).

Also, Joe Jackson (Michael Jackson's father) died yesterday.

He punched death so hard the grim reaper went flying out the window and wound up crashing into some crappy newspaper office in maryland

@A Owl Thank you for thinking of me at this terrible time. I may need to take to my bed in despond for several years. Besides, his wife knitted me - what the hell do I do next time my bottom starts to unravel?

It's amazing how embedded in Brit consciousness these little films are, even for people born long after they were made. I shall whistle an ode to see him on his way...
