RIP thread

There will be a PowerPoint slide presentation at his funeral with 1/3 of the slides having so much information and in such little print that they’re useless. The officiant, upon displaying each slide, will say “I don’t know if you can see this in the back.”

The officiant will read each slide word for word but will try to make it more casual with the occasional um or ah.

There will also be an awkward at the end of each slide before the officiant says “Next slide please”.

“Nope. Wrong way. Go the other way…one more now…there you go.”

The powerpoint will then play on an infinite loop in a screen embedded in the headstone

Also, contains a graph without axes labeled.

It’s always fun when they accidentally start on the last slide and then show every single slide in reverse order to get to the slide they’re up to.

you have a strange idea of “fun”, my friend. remind me never to accept the invite to Game Night at your place.

One time I actually saw a headstone with a screen in it. My first thought was :grimacing: I hope it’s not GraveCam.

Um, that was sarcasm. I can’t guarantee that Game Night will be free of sarcasm so it’s probably for the best.

So, you are unlike Paul Lynde in the center square on Game Night?

About two minutes in. This might take a while, as I’m LOLOLOLOL’ing…

The celebrities are given their questions ahead, but not the answers, so they have time formulate something funny.

The celebrities have the option to read the questions ahead of time. But I think Paul Lynde didn’t always read them before the show.

Summary

His quips do seem planned out. As much as I’d love to believe that he was that masterful at ad libbing, like 100% of the time, gonna say not.
Or, they were written so softbally that he could easily hit them out of the park.

RIP. My BIL used to take a ton of those small plane flights all around Alaska for his job, crashes were always a worry.

RIP David McCallum. It is fitting that NCIS has a marathon of 3 classic episodes airing tonight.

Just reading his Wiki. A couple of lines from NCIS -

In Season 2 Episode 13 “The Meat Puzzle”, NCIS Special Agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) asks Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), “What did Ducky look like when he was younger?” and Gibbs replies, “Illya Kuryakin”.
