I had forgotten about him for the longest time until the past Chirstmastime, when we watched Kill Bill vols 1 & 2.

I sure hope there aren't any potential new club members lurking on this thread, we are definitely showing off our darker humor here, and they might get the wrong idea.

Like Alan Alda's character says in Crimes and Misdemeanors "comedy is tragedy plus time."  

(insert time of death joke here.)

ok, I'll stop.  this is in poor taste.  

Bangkok... taste...?    maybe I'll eat Thai today.  Mmmmm....

The latest is they're saying it was "accidental" -- meaning it was one of those Michael Hutchence-style erotic-asphyxiation deals. Ewww.

Maybe he was practicing the Mysterious and Mystical Shoa Lin rope trick -- kung-fu-icide.

But seriously, RIP.  Thanks for the memories.  I watched Kung Fu every week.

the latest from Bangkok:

Quote
Bangkok - Thai police on Friday refused to rule out the possibility of foul play in the death of US actor David Carradine, whose body was found in his Bangkok hotel closet the previous day in what forensic experts described as an ‘abnormal’ death scene.

‘We haven’t excluded any possibilities,’ said Police Colonel Thavachai Maekprasertsuk, deputy director of the police forensic institute.

According to reports today from the Bangkok Post, The Thai Metropolitan Police commissioner says Carradine’s hands were tied behind his back.

Forensic experts have also reportedly found a footprint on the bed which did not match the shoes worn by the actor. There was also a glass of water in the room and experts are checking to see if the drink had been tampered with.

You CANNOT make this stuff up: the actual NY POST headline re: Carradine...

http://www.nypost.com/seven/06052009/frontback.htm

Not quite as good as "Headless Body in Topless Bar" but definitely up there.
