Surely you can't be serious.



Yes...she is serious and don't call her Shirley.


I will watch Airplane! in your honor sir. I also 2nd it should have been O.J. Is it too later to trade? Or is this a no backies type situation?

Yeah, but who knows what deadly sexual fetishes she has. One of those could go wrong. Or her record company could kill her, so they could sell more of her Christmas album.

I think it should be Rama, just for bringing up that stupid "Celebrities die in threes!" crap.
Title: Re: Leslie Nielsen died.
Post by: Rama on Nov 30, 2010, 03:38:01 PM
I am flattered that you think I'm a big enough star to complete the three. Tell you what, I'll make you out an autograph.

"To Shelly. Thanks for all the support, and stay off your back. -Love and kisses Rama."

There, now  you have something to tell all the other fellas at the half-way house about.

I'll see your 500 and raise you a sack of chocolate gold coins.

No way White can outlive Douglas.

Tasty!  I will savor them when Douglas dies one day before Betty White's massive cardiac arrest.

We shall see. I plan to use my Monopoly to build hotels on Parkplace. Then hope you land on it and take you for even more money!

I don't care how sick Michael Douglas is. I will eat my hat (after buying one) if he goes before Kirk.

You known I thought he was already dead. A little shocked he is still alive.

William Shatner will not go before Douglas or White.

Post by: Rama on Dec 05, 2010, 01:14:12 AM
I think he meant Kirk Douglas. But I wouldn't be so sure of your above statement either. 
Title: Re: Leslie Nielsen died.
Post by: Max Con on Dec 05, 2010, 02:41:07 AM
Yeah, I meant Kirk Douglas. You could fit him into the backdrop of The Walking Dead and nobody would catch wise.
Title: Re: Leslie Nielsen died.

Kirk will outlive Michael.  Then die from the grief.  Just watch.

Wait! Did anyone find out if Nielsen got his nuts bit off by a Lapplander? That's how he wanted to go.
Title: Re: Leslie Nielsen died.

Pretty certain he died in his sleep with withered nuts firmly in their shriveled old sack.

The trifecta is already complete: Nielsen, the Empire strikes back director, and Don Meredith. Elizabeth Edwards is only famous because her goofy-ass politician husband's mistress had a child by him.

I feel like if he had died sooner, we could have been spared all the trash he made in his twilight years.

Like the cartoon Zero Man. Never heard of it? YouTube.

Or don't, if you actually have any fond memories of the guy.

Post by: joe on Jan 17, 2011, 11:46:56 PM
Well, you're lucky then. I used to like him just fine. But then he kept working, and working, and working. And he obviously didn't even care anymore, he probably just wanted to keep busy and have a steady income.

Fuck you, Leslie Nielsen. Rot in Satan's Hollow.

Wow. Was that pre-Naked Gun? Or was Naked Gun late '80s?

I've never actually seen Police Squad. Anyone?

It came after the first Naked Gun but I didn't actually see it until some time later.  And I never saw PS.

Police Squad is totally awesome...it aired on ABC in the early eighties but was cancelled and only aired 6 episodes. The Naked Gun movies were in continuity with the show, with the actors playing Drebin (Nielsen, of course), the police scientist, and the really tall guy reprising their roles. They killed off William Shatner in one episode.

The DVD is a must-have.

Oh, okay. Haha. I thought maybe it was one of those childhood gems we all have. And I just thought it seemed way too obscure to be one of those.

"I have such fond memories of being a kid. Eating ice cream out on the back porch... playing fetch with the neighbours' dog... watching Leslie Nielsen in Project Kill..."

I might have to look into Police Squad now.

But it has like, eight, seasons.  And there's not some kind of Tony/Angela thing we need a conclusion to.  We all know Charlie's destined to die limp, alone, and full of coke with a laugh track playing in the background.  Charlie Sheen's premature death will only mean that Jon Cryer will have to find some other golden boy to carry him.  And by "golden boy" I mean to imply both his successful career and the fact that Charlie Sheen is likely frequently covered in piss.
