Hmmm. Are you sure you don't want to go the opposite way on #1?

Is Paul dead? If so, when did he die?

Glad you asked. According to the E! True Hollywood Story: Hollywood Squares, Paul died of a heart attack in 1982 at the age of 56. He died naked and alone in his bedroom. There was some speculation that he wasn't alone when he died, and that his heart attack was caused by either the ingestion of "poppers" which I guess are popular among gays, gay sexual activity, or a combination of both. Paul also had an alcohol and drug problem, but his death shocked many of his friends because he was allegedly clean at the time of his death.

Incidentally, according to the E! True Hollywood Story: Hollywood Squares, Paul Lynde was not the only gay in the various iterations of the show. In fact, Jim (or Jm., if you prefer) J. Bullock, a Hollywood actor famous for his role in "Too Close for Comfort" was also a gay. Bruce Vilanch, head writer for "The New Hollywood Squares" was also a gay. Must have been something about that center square and Hollywood gays.

Paul Lynde was a damn funny guy, even if he was a gay.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting a driver.

Woman gets 6k for haircut-related depression:

Frivolous whining about 'bald spots' and 'clumps of hair falling out'. No wonder everyone hates trial lawyers.

Where did Mogilny play before Toronto? I'm sure I've hated him in the past, but I get the feeling he was wearing a different sweater at the time.

I missed the 2nd period, where apparently the Flyers played well, but overall I felt they were pretty sloppy.

Go, Leafs, Go!

5.) Should I bring a gift to a dinner party that my cousin is hosting to announce his engagement to this side of the family? He's springing for a nice restaurant for about 15 or so of us.

Don't bring an engagement gift to the dinner party - from a practical point of view, if he is playing host he doesn't have time to handle it. Have it sent to him before or after. Also, from an etiquette point of view, it is important to disassociate the gift from the dinner he is hosting.

It isn't clear what sort of engagement or engagement announcement party this is. For one, the engagement has clearly been announced or you wouldn't know about it (small matter that, though).

Engagement announcement parties are usually get-togethers thrown by someone close to the couple, because presumably they would know soon enough to announce the news to others less close. The highlight of this party is supposed to be announcing the engagement to surprised and delighted people who haven't heard about it yet. But because it is thrown by the honorees or family it is prevented by decency from being a gift-giving party. (That's a good general rule of thumb - one can never throw a party for oneself that involves gifts or other material gain, and once one is out of grade school one can't have one's close family do it for one, either.) The "surprise" factor of the announcement is actually important, because without it (i.e.: if the announcment has effectively already happened) guests, knowing the reason for the party, feel obligated to bring gifts. Engagement parties that involve gifts are just a euphemism for an early shower, and they cannot be thrown by the engaged honorees or their close family.

So send the engagement gift separately, and don't attempt to tie it to the dinner.

A friend or two or three want to go to Vegas. Maybe Memorial Day, maybe tomorrow. Dunno. Questions:

1) anyone recommed a site to get good package deals at good hotels (ie Mandalay Bay, Hard Rock, etc)

2) What is new in Vegas? I keep hearing about this Ghost Bar but would love an update on fun places to go, or stay .

Thanks.

TM,

Embarrassing, overwrought and parochial are better descriptions. This is too stupid to be disgusting.

It's as if former owners of Major League Baseball teams were being criticized or something.

I bet they'd celebrate the movie if Kevin Costner were the only one to show up.

This is awsome. Thanks for the link, TM. It made my day.

The only thing disgusting in that story is Susan Saradon and Tim Robbins. Yuck!

Why is the baseball hall of fame honoring a movie to begin with? Stupid.

Great. Thank you. I almost shot hot coffee out my nose.

They could say, however, that they as good actors were only pretending to criticize the former baseball team owner in the White House. Because they are good at pretending, people will believe them.

Nobody ever believes this, but he was serious before that - he won a Tony Award for his role in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying and was nominated as a director for The Gin Game.

Paul Lynde was completely straight, though. The amyl nitrate that he was using while peacefully and platonically sleeping with the male ho was for heart pains. Really. Honest.

Hey Seb - did you take the Mrs. in for her check-up with the plastic surgeon, yet? Keep us posted when you do. We definitely want the update on what-needs-fixing and where.

We had this discussion before on the evilboard when you educated me on Mr. Charles Nelson Reilly's career. Because I have not seen "The E! True Hollywood Story: Charles Nelson Reilly (or maybe The E! True Hollywood Story: The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (sp?)) I haven't been able to find out for certain whether Mr. Nelson Reilly is a gay. However, Mr. Bilmore, why do you persist in denying that Mr. Paul Lynde was a gay in spite of the mountain of irrefutable proof to the contrary?
