They just appreciated his love of cheese HTTPS://youtu.be/DF-yBAkLFfwQuote:

I'm waiting for The Donald to begin tweeting that he's responsible for Castro's death.Quote:

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
That seriously sucks.
Why do we keep losing people that are truly nice to everyone?
I vote for 2017 to be "the year the asshats die off en masse".
I was thinking 2013 wasn't too bad for deaths because we lost a handful of actual nazi war criminals (including hitler's bodyguard) and the cast-iron bitchlady herself, but then I discovered we also lost James Gandolfini, Lou Reed, Nelson Mandela, Peter O'Toole, and Tom Clancy that year.
It seems like every year we lose more people that I like than people I don't.
Weaksauce.
This does seem to be a particularly bad year.
But in my experience, assholes seem to always live past their expiration date :(
Yeah, that's really annoying.Quote:

I've always said I wanted to live as long as I could to see how far technology can go, but it's really disheartening losing so many great influences from my youth.
HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SUGGEST NAMES TO THE GRIM REAPER MERRICK?!?!?!Quote:

As Frankie Boyle said, instead of wasting millions on state funeral for this bitch, they could have bought everyone in Scotland a spade, and we'd have all dug down and handed the bitch to her master in person :p
How does this relate to anything in this thread?Quote:

An obituary put out by his family notes that Delligatti was a true innovator in the fast-food industry, instrumental in introducing breakfast at McDonald's, making the hotcakes and sausage meals for hungry millworkers on their way home from overnight shifts in the steel mills.
Delligatti co-founded Pittsburgh's Ronald McDonald House and supported many other charities in Western Pennsylvania. He also served in the Army in World War II.
"Jim was a legendary franchisee within McDonald's system who made a lasting impression on our brand," reads a statement from McDonald's corporate headquarters. "He is an exemplary individual who embraced the community and championed many causes and organizations that benefitted children. We will remember Jim as an insightful franchisee, a knowledgeable businessman, and an honorable gentleman."
Inventing the Big Mac pretty much makes him one of the 10 or 20 most influential figures in American cuisine over the past 50 years, right? Although the fact that he lived to be 98 suggests that he didn't consume his own invention very often.Quote:
