They didn’t do the obvious joke: “Now we can finally pry that rifle from his cold, dead hands.”

Charlton Heston Dies

Charlton Heston, National Rifle Association spokesman and star of The Omega Man, The Ten Commandments, and Planet Of The Apes, died Saturday at 84. What do you think?

Old ManRodrigo Bennet,
Brick Layer
“No, I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Mickey Rooney. Charlton Heston has been dead for at least five years.”

Young WomanTracy McManus,
Piano Teacher
“It must have been comforting for him to pass away peacefully in his home instead of in a MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!!!”

Asian ManSteve DeVoto,
Network Administrator
“I send my thoughts and prayers to the Heston family. I’d also like to know when and where the funeral service is going to be held so I can send an ammunition wreath.”

 

Lots o stuff!

A list:

  • I’m taking a cool class this quarter called the Poetics of Play in Digital Role-Playing Games!  It’s part of the Critical Gaming Project run by Terry Schenold a PhC in English.  I should prob ask him at some point how start a class; I’m not sure the college of ed would be the right venue for me.
  • My mom and bro came up during spring break (last week) and we went to Ocean Shores for about 4 days.  Small, small town.  Kinda not as wealthy/resorty as I thought it would be.  Plus, it’s like 97% white.  Heh.
  • Cherry blossoms are full-on right now.
  • It snowed a few days ago.  Nice.
  • I’m going to be in San Jose, CA for a month in the summer!  :)
