RIP

[Gaucho]

I've never seen that film in its entirety for some reason.

Then you would probably love Malick's Thin Red Line. (I really like the film, not as good as the book, but it is what it is)

The book doesn't have Nick Nolte, therefore is worse.

He has one of the best lines in the movie, one that resonates with me more and more each year I climb the ivory tower of academia:

I've worked, slaved, eaten untold buckets of **** to have this opportunity and I don't intend to give it up now.

Bet GHWB won't be far behind.

Really liked her and George’s relationship.

RIP to my favorite First Lady of my lifetime.

I always liked Barbara Bush. She always struck me as a blunt and down-to-earth person with a self-deprecating sense of humor—not "fake" in a world (the political realm) where everyone often seems to be acting. It was obvious that she and her husband shared a warm and loving relationship. RIP.

That marriage was about as strong and lasting as they come. I agree, her husband will be following her. Considering the health problems he's had, I wonder if he was hanging on for her the last few years.

Hot take.

I assume this will be a Johnny & June scenario.

RIP Barbara B. Special lady.... she and GHWB were married for over seventy years.

Ron Cook just tweeted Bruno Sammartino passed away. I haven't seen this anywhere else.

Kind of surprised at this. He keep himself in great shape. I read he still lifted 3 days a week, and did cardio as well.

RIP.

If 82 surprised you, I'm curious how long you plan to live?

He was super fit for his age.

Ron Cook just tweeted Bruno Sammartino passed away.

Aw man..... for some reason I'm surprised he was that young and, honestly, still alive.

I've never seen that film in its entirety for some reason.

Even though the movie established that "LOVE" is a true German virtue? (and it was said straights into the faces of all those stupid Italians)

I'm bummed about Bruno

[shafnutz05]

Born in Italy in 1935, Bruno was the youngest of seven siblings. In 1939, whilst his father was working in America in order to feed his family, the second world war broke out, and all borders were closed. Bruno’s father was left stranded in the US, whilst his mother had to care for their seven children alone with no income.

After the Nazis invaded and occupied their village, the Sammartino family were forced to live in secrecy on the Valla Rocca mountain. Once a week, Bruno’s mother would make the 24 hour long journey down the mountain back to the village. As the soldiers that now lived in their former home slept, Bruno’s mother would break into the family’s basement, and take as many supplies as possible that they had built-up over the years. She would then make the return 24 hour journey all the way back up, hoping that her children had survived the full two days without her.

On one of these life-saving missions, Bruno’s mother was captured by the Nazis, and barely made it out alive – the entire family was even once lined-up in front of a German firing squad, before being rescued only seconds from death. During the war, Bruno had to watch four of his siblings die, whilst simultaneously battling a serious bout of scarlet fever himself. When the war was over, Bruno was examined by doctors, and given just days to live. Somehow, Bruno made a miraculous recovery, lasting another 70+ years.

All of these events happened before Bruno’s tenth birthday.

After moving to America and reuniting with his father in 1950, Bruno would go on to completely change his physique, wrestle with a real life orang-utan, sell out Madison Square Garden 187 times, set weightlifting records, and become the longest reigning champion in WWE history.

Don't mess with my antenna, two-two is crystal clear
Break out the Evan Williams and the Iron City Beer
Nam, fraud and scandal, impeachment is a thing
But I can't worry about that ****
