Dr. Spencer Silver, aka the guy who (accidentally) created Post-its

 

Paul Mooney.

 

Went to a show of his in NYC about 15 years ago. I’m pretty sure I was made fun of numerous times.

 

Dude was hilarious on Chappelle Show alone.

 

Ask a black dude

"I thought Scarlett was a hoe because she went to bed with everyone but Mammie"

 

That whole bit was hilarious. The best line is next when he complains about Tom Cruise as The Last Samurai. "Hollywood is crazy. I wrote a movie. It's called The Last N-a on Earth, starring Tom Hanks".

 

Eric Carle, author of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

 

F. Lee Bailey... dead at 87.

I honestly thought he was already dead...

 

Jim Fassel

 

Damn

 

Only 71. And I thought he coached the Giants a lot later than he did.

 

And I’m surprised, given the NFLs knack for retreads, that he never got another shot. His time in NY was respectable, and he was only 53 when he was fired.

 

Ned Beatty

 

OTIS-burg? OTIS-BURG???

 

John McAfee

 

Still blows my mind that he ended up living in my hometown for a while.

 

He should have reached out to you about his taxes. A cautionary tale. Market that.

 

Ha. This is true.

Still a hilarious story. He more or less just showed up at a realtor's office one day and said he wanted to buy a house there. Where he ended up living was about 50 year old house. Spoke to Rotary Club.

Then goes out and gets himself in tax trouble and has to flee the country.

 

Whatever he owed, it wasn't worth all that.
