Charlie's Angel' Farrah Fawcett dies at 62

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died. She was 62.

Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2 1/2-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary "Farrah's Story."

She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV's "Charlie's Angeles." A poster of her in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.

She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with "Somebody Killed Her Husband." She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in "The Burning Bed."

[Mikey]

That sucks.

[Fire-Babe]

board updated. that puts Angle pretty squarely in the lead.

They always come in threes, so there should be another one pretty soon.

[Angle]

For some reason, I'm taking Swayze may be the next to go

[Fire-Babe]

Walter Cronkite is also circling the drain, so to speak.

I'm not sure if this is funny. Jim was checking e-mail last night, and exclaimed "Oh no! Walter died!"

To which I replied, "Cronkite?" and grabbed my laptop.

He looked at me with disdain, and said "No, Walter from CHURCH."

[Angle]

Maybe its just my sense of humor, but I got a laugh out of that

I still can't get over this. I didn't get anyone on my list last year, and in just this week, I get two of them.

[Angle]

Damn, I knew I shouldn't have switched out Michael Jackson for Jake Roberts.

I just heard on the news that Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest earlier today and is in really bad shape.

That'll be 50 points for anyone who gets him, and also means Byrne's gonna go in the lead. :-*

You know, I was about to ask if we were going to be able to change some picks since we had a slow start. This is shaping up to be one hell of a day.

[Angle]

Seriously. First none of us get anything, then this week we get 2 huge losses, and potentially a third by the end of the day.

I could've sworn I still had him though.

[creepy]

I got points!

[Angle]

Technically, he's not dead yet, he's just in a coma. He probably won't make it through the night though.

[Fire-Babe]

Nope....he's dead. Updating now.

[Eric O'Mac]

Damn. Deaths really do come in threes, don't they?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I have to say... the jokes on Punker's FB page are awesome. Definitely worth a look.

[Fire-Babe]

i forgot about Carradine. Oh did I tell you guys the conversation I had with mom-in-law about that?

MIL: Did someone hang him or did he hang hisself?

FW: Um...he hung himself.

MIL: Was it on purpose?

FW: Yeah... kinda.

MIL: Oh....Do they know why?

FW: They have some ideas.

MIL: I wonder if he was sick?

FW: That is one of the ideas.

[Angle]

Man, in just a few hours, I go from front-runner to 4th place

I am the God Damned Grim Reaper!

2 Biggies in 1 day. Now all the children can rejoice.







Because their asses are safe.

Not to be any more morbid then my proclamation of being the Angel of Death

You are a sick sonuvabitch.

Good to have you back...

[creepy]

I just picked The Angel of Death in the draft yesterday. Creepy.

[Demko]

Best joke I read all day:

"Since Michael Jackson was 90% plastic, they're thinking of melting him down to make legos out of him... to let kids play with HIM for a change."

[Road Warrior Shark]

Best observation-thought-discussion:
How would you like to have been the EMT to answer that call and face the prospect of mouth-to-mouth resussitation (sp?) on Jacko. Take one look and say "screw this" and tell the supervisor "I swear he was already stiff. There was nothing more we could have done"

[Deleted]

[Fire-Babe]

The EMTs probably wouldn't have done mouth-to-mouth. They have a mask they use.
