A cultural icon of our time, dead at 88

"Genuine Corinthian leather" is a phrase that children of the 70s grew up with. That and "De Plane!"

A cultural icon, Ricardo Montalban, has hopped on that plane from Fantasy Island. Rest in Genuine Corinthian leather, amigo.

Place everyone. Places!

    Prehaps were we seperated at birth. I swear I was going to post his death about three hours ago but couldn't get the article to my documents page. Ah, the Cordova, rich elegance at a price even Tattoo could afford. RIP Ricardo. I loved his hair weave in the Star Wars movie.

    "You know, I love this place, Fantasy Island."

Spam and rudeness will not be tolerated. We're here to have a few grins, and if you can't abide, move along. Did I mention Spam? Because if I didn't, here it is. NO SPAM!! That includes saying you like our blog and it's thought-provoking (which we know is a lie) and here's a link to your blog. Basically, if you link post a link to a for-profit site without the express written consent of me or the Big Vance-a-rino, I'll delete your comment and you'll look like an ass or I'll mock you mercilesly for being a dork.
~Peace & Love,
