Good Riddance, Fred Phelps

In fairness to him, he was a fearless civil rights lawyer before he became overcome by hatred.

I did enjoy the WBC posters. Just crazy random shit all together.

Character actor James Rebhorn, you might not know the name but you probably know him. Was good in most things.

GWAR frontman Dave Brockie Found Dead at 50

Dave Brockie, better known as GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus, was found dead in his Richmond, Va. home Sunday night, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Brockie was 50 years old. The cause of his death is still unknown, but detectives don't suspect foul play.

Brockie founded GWAR in 1984, and the legendary heavy metal band released 13 albums—most recently, 2013's Battle Maximus. Brockie was the only remaining founding member of the band, and it's still unclear whether GWAR will continue without him.

The band had recently returned from a short tour of Japan.

I have taken to spouting the odd blatant lie on the internet. It's a bad habit.

I promise to stop.

 

[therealjohnny]

I believe you

 

[nooleen]

I promise to stop.

I work off the "5 facts, 1 lie" school of thought. Tell people lots of interesting and true things, then make them seem like an idiot when they're trying to convince their friends that Bono once had trials for Man City before he started getting into music.

I am spectacularly shit at lying.

Though noble, this would not work for me.

Read Actor James Rebhorn's Self-Written Obituary -- Vulture

James Robert Rebhorn was born on Sept. 1, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA. His mother, Ardell Frances Rebhorn, nee Hoch, loved him very much and supported all his dreams. She taught him the value of good manners and courtesy, and that hospitality is no small thing. His father, James Harry Rebhorn, was no less devoted to him. From him, Jim learned that there is no excuse for poor craftsmanship. A job well done rarely takes more or less time than a job poorly done. They gave him his faith and wisely encouraged him to stay in touch with God.

He is survived by his sister, Janice Barbara Galbraith, of Myrtle Beach, SC. She was his friend, his confidant, and, more often than either of them would like to admit, his bridge over troubled waters. He is also survived by his wife, Rebecca Fulton Linn, and his two daughters, Emma Rebecca Rebhorn and Hannah Linn Rebhorn. They anchored his life and gave him the freedom to live it. Without them, always at the center of his being, his life would have been little more than a vapor. Rebecca loved him with all his flaws, and in her the concept of ceaseless love could find no better example.

His children made him immensely proud. Their dedication to improving our species and making the world a better place gave him hope for the future. They deal with grief differently, and they should each manage it as they see fit. He hopes, however, that they will grieve his passing only as long as necessary. They have much good work to do, and they should get busy doing it. Time is flying by. His son-in-law, Ben, also survives him. Jim loved Ben, who was as a son to Jim, especially through these last months. His aunts Jean, Dorothy and Florence, numerous cousins and their families, and many devoted friends also survive Jim. He loved them all, and he knows they loved him.

Jim received his BA at Wittenberg University and his MFA at Columbia. He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Nu Zeta 624, a life-long Lutheran, and a longtime member of both the AMC and ACLU.

Jim was fortunate enough to earn his living doing what he loved. He was a professional actor. His unions were always there for him, and he will remain forever grateful for the benefits he gained as a result of the union struggle. Without his exceptional teachers and the representation of the best agents in the business, he wouldn’t have had much of a career. He was a lucky man in every way.
