AL, CALL YOUR DOCTOR:  On May 27, 2010, in a post about premorse, people we were surprised hadn't died, and stale obituaries, frequent commenter Adam C. noted:
Despite the fact that they're both alive and still in the public consciousness, couldn't we agree that Andy Rooney's and Bil Keane's obits are extremely stale?

Also, Al Molinaro is 90?!?!?!
In addition to Rooney and Keane, who died today at 89, we mourn the loss of Heavy D, the new jack rapper who always made me smile. Here's a vintage clip from Club MTV, 1991, plus his In Living Color theme. The former Dwight Myers was 44.

    Reposted from my facebook wall, as per Bil Keane:

    "<span>Sources report that before laying in his death bed, he toured the entire hospital, hitting all points in random succession, leaving a dotted line in his wake."</span>

    I'd also like to say that every time I ask somebody close to my age how they're living and they don't say "Whaat?" back, I'm disappointed in them.

    Was Bill Keane survived by his daughter, Ida Know?

    Asked about the cause of his father's passing, Jeffy responded, "Not Me."
