Watch the Gravy....‏

Those in Heaven will find a change at the dinner table after welcoming Frank Bank as their newest resident. He might have been the dim-witted one on Leave it to Beaver but he was my favorite. Now please pass the lumpy, bumpy gravy!

Pat Summerall, dead afterall

Pat Summerall has died. Much like the other guy from Wham!, Summerall was the oft-forgotten straight man to John Madden's color commentary for many years. From former kicker to bucket kicker, the circle of life is complete. But it just won't be the same seeing Andy's list next year, minus Summerall. George Allen Summerall, dead at the age of 82.

F-U-N, I-C-E, L L O She's Dead!

Poor Annette, having to share her special death day with Margaret Thatcher. For what it's worth, I think Funicello was a MUCH better mouseketeer than Thatcher. As far as the beach movies, that might be a closer contest. Little known fact... Margaret Thatcher was originally cast opposite Frankie Avalon in Bikini Beach, but had to back out at the last minute. Oh how different the world would be. But fear not, Ms. Funicello, for your death was not in vain. Our beloved Joe T. has now placed on the scoreboard, putting him firmly in first place in the Kure Beach Division of our little game. Annette Joanne Funicello, dead at the age of 70. Read more HERE.

How many folks just scored, Maggie?

Margaret Thatcher, the only female Prime Minister of Britian, has died. The nicknames are great: The Iron Lady, Thatcher the Milk Snatcher, Attila the Hen. She served for 11 years, and left 13 points. Unfortunately it's difficult to pull funny out of a conservative, British, prime minister. So... Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher, Baroness, dead at the age of 87. Read more HERE.

Points that knocked the champ out of 1st place. THANK YOU JACK PARDEE! (sorry for your family, though). John Perry Pardee, dead at the age of 76. Read more HERE.
