Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

A poet, a prophet, a gentleman, a genius, a legend. He will be sorely missed.
There was a sense in his recent album and the surrounding interviews that he knew this was coming and had come to terms with it, but I had hoped it would not be so soon.

I really liked him, and not just in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. He was in The Magnificent Seven and Battle Beyond The Stars, both of which movies I like, as well as other things. Like many actors, he did guest appearances on a lot of TV shows as well. He will be missed.

Ran into him at an airline lounge at O'Hare Airport about a fifteen years ago. Told him I was a fan of U.N.C.L.E. and he signed a cocktail napkin for me. RIP.

Actress Florence Henderson, best known for playing Carol Brady on classic 1970s sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” has died. According to reports from the Associated Press, she passed surrounded by family in Los Angeles. She was 82.
Henderson’s career spanned more than fifty years, beginning on Broadway when she was 18. Amongst her achievements she was the first woman to guest host “The Tonight Show,” a frequent “Hollywood Squares” panelist, a spokeswoman for numerous products, a “Dancing with Stars” contestant, a Weird Al Yankovic music video star, and a host of her own series.
She also guest starred on countless TV dramas and comedies from “The Love Boat” to “Murder, She Wrote,” “L.A. Law,” “Roseanne,” “Ellen,” “The King of Queens,” “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” “The Muppet Show,” “30 Rock” and more.
Those who knew Henderson took to social media to remember the actress, including Maureen McCormick, who played her on-screen daughter Marcia Brady.

Don't know if it counts as "geek media", but Fidel Castro has died.

I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

Oh wow. There goes one of those people you'd never thought would ever be gone. He was such a huge living icon. He was also the last Communist revolutionary leader still alive. Truly this is the end of an era.
I wonder what will happen to Cuba now, but maybe that is better suited to a thread in off topic.

Well, Raul is still around and they did a transfer of power from FIdel to Raul a couple of years ago. Fidel hasn't looked at all well in the few public appearances of him there have been in that time.
After Raul, though? I don't know. It will certainly be an interesting time.
