Ross Perot, the billionaire who launched a credible 3rd party bid for the White House in both 1992 & 1996, died at age 89. RIP.Comment

RIP. My personal favorite Presidential candidate. Most of what he predicted during the 1992 campaign wound up coming true and if he had been just 10% less crazy, he might have won. Taking a hiatus 6 months before the election and then trying to get back in was truly bizarre.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

Perot got an amazing 19 pct of the vote in 1992.
In Maine, it went Clinton 38.8, Perot 30.44, Bush 30.39.
even while being excluded from the 1996 debates, he got 8 pct of the national vote.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Y'all must not have daughters. I was shocked when I heard that my 10-year-old daughter's celebrity crush, Disney TV star Cameron Boyce (from The Descendants TV movies and Jessie) died over the weekend at age 20 from a seizure related to a medical condition. My daughter's away at camp, so I don't know whether they got that news there or if I'll have to break it to her next Saturday when I visit her.Comment

Good article summing up Perot in 1992:

I loved Rip Torn as the lawyer for Albert Brooks in the after world in Defending Your Life. Meryl Streep as the love interest... brilliant film.
Also, definitely a good excuse to rewatch Freddy Got Fingered. Apparently my wife was an extra in the airport finale scene in the crowd. She was 17 years old, skipping school.

can't find it online, but there's a story out there about Burt Reynolds and Rip Torn as struggling actors.
Reynolds of course is the more confident, if less talented, one. he talks Torn into going to an audition with him.
Torn kills, but walks out. Burt gets him to come back, but Torn will only take the part if Burt gets one, too. pretty ballsy.
it's a deal - and the rest is history, for both.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

RIP Rutger Hauer.
Actor known for Blade Runner.
He was in Ladyhawke, which was a favorite of my college freinds. We must have watched that movie at least a dozen times. It wasn't great, but it was "cult" hit for us."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

Saw him against Dusty Rhodes in Tulsa, OK many, many years ago. Harley was an awesome pro wrestler. And from what I read on the Internet, someone you didn't want to mess with.Originally posted by revo View Post“There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.” – Doc Holliday
