OT: Bernie Mac has died

Bernie Mac has died from complications due to pneumonia at the age of 50.  That is shocking.  I was never a huge fan but he was pretty funny at times and was good in supporting roles.  I liked him in the Ocean's Eleven movies and Bad Santa and Friday.   Plus he  had the most perfectly quaffed afro I have ever seen.

RIP Bernie.  You will be missed....

I don’t know no NATO. You know him??

There’s no such thing as white-collar crime. And there’s definitely no such thing as black-on-black crime. Crime is crime. Let me explain something to you. I don’t care if you have a white collar or a tank top. If you rob me, I’m gonna whup your ass.

I really enjoyed his work. Godspeed, sir.

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

Wow...

only 50 years old. Far to young for anyone to die this day and age. Who dies of pneumonia in 2008? I’m not familiar with sarcoidosis, but I’m sure that had a lot to do with it. Wasn’t a huge fan of his standup but he had his moments. Just too bad. RIP Bernie.

Mr. 3000 is one of my guilty pleasure movies

Totally cliche, but you can tell it was written with a lot of love for baseball, and has little details that I love about it(such as the correct use of Brewers Uniforms).

RIP Bernie

Sorry about that

I never look down there. Plus, you can’t even see them if you’re not on the main page. That is kinda stupid.

Why are you doing this? You didn’t think he was funny, cool, just leave it at that.

I’m not sure who Poochie is (other than the Simpsons character), so at least inform me of that, so I can be properly hot and bothered.

You’ve been little girl poopy pants for several days now.

What gives? Crap the bar, loose a friend, kicked outta the house?

I dunno, but you’ve turned all those brain cells into being Ben’s avatar lately…

I do expect more of you…not like you care, but still.
