Death Be Not Proud
Ok, over the past 15 days there have been a number of deaths of people I know in one aspect or another, and I want to tell you a little about each from the past few days.

Let us start with “J”.  J is a girl I went to High School with.  We were not good friends, but were friendly, she was much better friend with my friends, the Angry Piper and the Angry Veteran.  He mother and her aunt passed away in a really bad car accident the other day.  I have not seen J since high school (which is almost 20 years ago), but she was a cute girl, who has an inspiring story of immigration to this county.  The Angry Piper wrote a wonderful article about it at the Wand of Wonder.  To top it off, the other woman in the car accident who passed away, is the mother of Paul, who plays for the Misfits in our softball league . . . that I did not find out until today.

Also yesterday, Dan Pires from The Standard Times, a well loved Patriots beat writer passed away from a heart attack.  I have only met him once or twice, and he seemed like a genuine nice guy.  My Father knew him a little better.

And finally, someone I have known professionally for the past 10 years, who was a mentor for me when I first started in human services, Dean Gilmore also passed away this past weekend.  Dean worked for a couple of decades for the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, unlike a lot of people who worked for state services, he was a straight shooter and cared for his clients.  I could always count on him for advice, and to got to bat for me.  In the past 6 years, we have collaborated quite a few times on tough clients.  I spoke with a friend of mine who worked in his office, I and I guess he had be pretty sick recently.  A real shame.  RIP Dean.

Dear Malach

  • Colonel Colonel writes: Dear Malach- so what do you think the Batmobile gets for mileage? Is Batman going to have to get a second job to keep filling up the tank? Is he going to ask Robin to cough up a little of that dough he gets for doing gay porno films on the side? Or will he just chuck it in and buy a black Prius?  Wow, some good questions . . . well since DC just has a Crisis event everyso often so their characters won’t age and they can change their histories to fit in with modern technology, and seeing how Bruce Wayne is slightly more intelligent that Stephen Hawking, I would assume he has come up with some type of fuel source that last a long time and is enviromentally friendly.  As for Batman’s second job?  Rich socialite Bruce Wayne and Wayne Corp should be enough, I think he was ranked in the top 15 of richest fictional characters by Forbes and number 1 for comic characters.  As for Robin, yes it has always been strange that Bruce has kept your male wards around, and their was even a implied relationship with young Barbara Gordon (Bat Girl), but then I would also suppose which Robin.  I also don’t think you can mount a grappling cannon, or missles on a Prius.
  • Moooooog35 writes: Dear Malach, What do you think Shaq’s ass actually tastes like? Kobe hasn’t told us yet. I imagine it being like a hairy salty chocolate bar. Not sure WHY I imagined it. I think I need a hobby. - Moog.   HMMMMM, I would think it would taste like a large, heavy sweaty black man .  . maybe with a touch of ICY/HOT thrown in.
  • Tequila Mockingbird writes: Dear Malach, when i go to fla next week and have sex on the beach, if i get a grain of sand stuck in my snatch and i dont get it out, can i grow it into a pearl?  The mantle of the mollusk deposits layers of calcium carbonate(CaCO3) in the form of the minerals aragonite or calcite (both crystalline forms of calcium carbonate) held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre, or as most know it, mother-of-pearl. The commonly held belief that a grain of sand acts as the irritant is in fact rarely the case. Typical stimuli include organic material, parasites, or even damage that displaces mantle tissue to another part of the animal’s body. These small particles or organisms enter the animal when the shell valves are open for feeding or respiration. In cultured pearls, the irritant is typically a cut piece of the mantle epithelium, together with processed shell beads, the combination of which the animal accepts into its body. . . . So unless there is something strange with your plumbing, which is not out of the question, I say no.
  • Malicious Intent writes: Dear Malach. I am totally blank today. How do I fix this?  Find some LSD, and then take it.  Problem should be solved then,
  • Mike writes: Dear Malach–Can you please make it stop raining here. I swear to Christ I am going to have to build an ark.  Sure, I have just sent mind bullets to Chaac, he should cut it out if he knows what is good for him.  Take that Chaac!

Barack and Hillary
See they can play nice.

North Korea
So it is all kiss and make up with Kim Jong Il?  Wow, I love this Cowboy Democracy!

You know what would be ironic?
Someone shoots Dubya with a handgun on their way out.

It’s just too bad . .
Their aren’t more employers like this, no?

    I don’t trust Kim Jong Il. We have been through this before with this nut case. I say we should just take him out behind the barn and shoot him. It would be best for everyone involved.

    I had a friend that died last week too. He was 53 years old and just sitting at a stop light in his car waiting for the light to change and he died.

    I have been telling the city that some of those lights last a lifetime, but I didn’t really mean it.

    Until now.

    Firstly, I’m sorry to hear of those deaths which touch your world. x

    Secondly, thanks for the lesson in pearl-formation.

    Thirdly, why is Mike moaning? If it stopped raining he’d only have to mow the lawn - or is Stephen Hawking doing his mowing these days?

    Video…where do you find this shit????? I want your contacts!

    So sorry about the loses. This is not a contest against the famous, ya’ll know that right?

  5. 5 AngryMan

    A week or so ago in that habeas case out of Guantanamo, Scalia dissented b/c the decision would result in the deaths of American citizens. Well, what do you think repealing bans on handguns will do?

  6. 6 moooooog35

    Kim Jong Il.

    We need to send Team America, World Police after him again.

    Seriously…I thought he was done for.

    On a side note, if you post a video, it should be the puppet sex scene from that movie.

    Best. Scene. Ever.

  7. 7 Malach the Merciless

    Mike: Yeah, everyone who died was in their 50’s except for J’s Mom and Aunt. Kim Jong is scary, and scary looking.

    Kitty: Thanks and your welcome

    Rag: Are you sure you didn’t hit your head?

    MI: I was think the same thing, lots of Famous too, the video I kind of stumbled upon. It was weird, I found it via google after watching the Bud Dwyer live TV Suicide from the 80’s, though don’t remember how it led me there.

    Angryman: We love our guns

    MOOOOOG: we did, he capitulated

  8. 8 Hungry Mother

    Sad how deaths can change our perspective. It’s good I don’t have a gun, because I know that I’d shoot one of my asshole neighbors.

  9. 9 Preposterous Ponderings

    Ha ha ha love your responses to the questions!

    Sorry about all of the losses.

  10. 10 toyi

    Sorry for the loss Malach

    Boooo I desagree with gun control ban… can’t wait for results on this ban…

  11. 11 The Real Mother Hen

    You know, I was just thinking about death this morning. I live in a small town, go to a church where the average age group is probably 60 years old. And for the last few years, I have been to more funerals than weddings.

    In fact come to think of it, in my entire life, I have been to more funerals than weddings.

    Don’t people get married anymore?

  12. 12 Malach the Merciless

    HM: Guns don’t kill people, yadda yadda

    PrePon: Thanks

    Toyi: Disagree with the ban, or the Supreme Court Ruling?

    Mother Hen; Most of my friends aren’t married and they range in age from about 20 - 50
