And I'm an ass. My boyfriend comes in and tells me this, and I immediately crack off with SNL references before I notice his expression and say, "...what, for real?"

:(

I feel like I'm in one of those old Looney Tunes cartoons where Bugs turns into a giant heel.

Hmm!

They haven't released a cause of death yet. Perhaps he really was mauled to death by lions in a convenience store.

"He was delicious..."

SNL references?

Quote please.

Bah. Computer broke just after I saw the google video link.

It's truly a symbol of my youth that I looked at that and said: "Who...?"

'The statement did not say where Ford died or list a cause of death.'

Cause of death: BEING 93.

So, is Carter now the oldest living former prez?

[quamicauzilot.livejournal.com]

No, actually. George The First is older than Carter by a few months.

Well, first James Brown and now Gerald Ford...not to be the voice of doom, but I wonder who number three's gonna be?

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

I've got a little list. They really won't be missed.

...not to be the voice of doom, but I wonder who number three's gonna be?

I thought the first was Peter Boyle.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

That's who I would've said.

The betting pool over at my journal says Castro.

[alpheratz.livejournal.com]

It's clearly gonna be Saddam. (*insert rant here*) But Castro will be a close second.

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

We debated Saddam, but then decided that a pre-arranged death is not allowable by the rules of the Celebrity Death Triangle. It's gotta be random.

Aww =(

My immediate first thought? "...at the senseless age of 93."

Guess the wolves finally got him.

And as usual, I get my news from LiveJournal before any other source

I was actually a little surprised by this on the TV. I was watching the Kennedy Center Honors and they had this little, like tiny, bar across the screen announcing this. I would have thought it would have been a bigger deal then a little announcment, but I guess not.
All I could think was 'Thank goodness it was after Christmas'. :(

[pscopathictiger.livejournal.com]

I was watching King of the Hill, and they actually interruppted the program to say it.

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Okay, I've slept on it, and I'm still a little spooked. Last night I was watching the West Wing's Documentary Special from S3, in which they interview many political advisers and leaders, including President Ford, and I remember thinking, "Gee, there's really nothing bad you can say about Ford." And then I get on LJ, and BAM!

What sad news.

The SNL skit... (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-89770458144460734)

Still, :( Oh Gerald.

OK, this doesn't have anything to do with Ford, but if I wait to post it I'll forget... I got my copies of The Book (where "my copies" = "the copies I am going to give my sister and roommate for birthdays, but totally read first becaues I'm that sort of person") yesterday and it is HILARIOUS. HI. LARIOUS. Vengeful dolphins FTW. :) Also, "How to Make a Sci-Fi Disaster Movie" and "How to Make a Superhero Movie" cracked my shit up. Heeeeee. :)
