How did I miss that, except I was exceedingly busy.

Iā€™m saddened anew. Who will the Prickle Party put forth for President now.

Goddamn. I remember when Penelope died and what a loss she was. And now (months ago) Perdita? Fuck. :sob:

That explains the Twitter change. facepalm

I remember noticing in February the posts were coming from @facts_hedgehog instead of the Princessā€™s account.

I should have known.

No mention hereof his magnum opus, the Thief and the Cobbler, instead he is remembered most for the work he took on to finance that movie, Roger Rabbit.

IMHO, the greatest hand drawn animation scene of all time.

Combs held the title of ā€œfastest woman on four wheelsā€ after setting a record of 398 mph in her jet-powered North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger in 2013. More recently, she had piloted that same car to 483.227 mph in a single shakedown run in October 2018, though that run ended prematurely with mechanical troubles. (Governing bodies require two back-to-back runs in opposite directions to set an official speed record.)

On the Classic Who DVDs, he was one of the people who showed up most often to do the interviews for the extras. He always had something thoughtful and interesting to say. RIP!

I donā€™t remember Bananas at all, and Iā€™ll admit I never really watched The Friendly Giant beyond the opening recorder playing (oh dear, now theyā€™ll double check my passport).

So I donā€™t really know much about Rod Coneybeare, but he seems like a decent sort. Whatā€™s most remarkable to me is how calm everyone is, both in the interview and the show clip. I find it kind of comforting, but no wonder American visitors think our TV is boring.
