    Yes. He freaked me out with a number of stories of weird encounters. Pretty much inspired me to get cremated when the time comes.

    I'm really, really into classic TV. I find myself wondering about who is and who isn't alive in a given episode of Star Trek or Kolchak. I'm always pleased when I find out that someone is still alive and going at like 90 or so.

    Of the "paranormal" kind, or just of the "living people doing weird/improper shit" kind?

    I'm afraid there's very few ones left from those shows. Of the Kolchak "regulars", Ruth McDevitt was the first one to die and Jack Grinnage is the only one who is still alive.

    More the guest stars. The chick in "The Werewolf" that I was hot for when I was a kid, Nita Talbot, is 90.

    Yeah, I'm pretty much up on who is and who isn't alive as the main cast goes. I'm pretty deep into the classic TV scene.

    Are you also into the "they recycled him/her" thing on the old shows? For example, Three's Company "recycled" Jeffrey Tambor 3 times! In one episode he played Cindy's millionaire boyfriend, in another one he played a doctor who is mistaken for a dangerous lunatic by Jack and Janet, and in yet another episode he played Terry's dentist boyfriend (and I am purposefully leaving aside the fact that he was also one of the main cast members on The Ropers spin-off!)

    I’ve been absent for a while, just now seeing this. Such sad news. Many, many great discussions with Yojimbo over the years.

    Hell and yes. Yojimbo was active in the old chat room quite a bit.

    Btw: glad to see you made it back from the Islands. Have any cigarettes left?

    Thanks for posting this, Kaos.

    Even though we were in some of the same groups on Facebook and ‘friends’ on there, I had totally missed that this had happened. Yojimbo was, near as I could tell, a standup guy, and one of the kindest folks I met through hpotd. Goddamn.

    Sorry to come back here for the first time in years and see this. RIP, Yojimbo! He was my first friend on these forums after that feature was added.

    I just got word that Paul Blaise passed away. I have forgotten his handle here, but I am sure that some of you knew him on facebook forums. He was 53.

    53? Sheesh!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
