CARL!

("I'm telling you, Tony, this is the story of the CENTURY!")



Fecking hell ... Darren McGavin died.

What really irritates me, and this is going to sound totally superficial, is that he's probably not going to make it onto the Academy Awards list of departed stars because he's too late to make it onto the montage. Although they do those things digitally now, so he'd better get on there. They can show him as the sleazy pusher in "The Man With the Golden Arm" ... but they'll probably use "A Christmas Story." The pusher though ... he was a bad bad man.

Thank you, Darren McGavin.
