RIP wrestling legend Rowdy Roddy Piper, 61, who succumbed to a heart attack. He successfully fought Hodgkins Lymphoma. A friend who suffered it in his 20's said the doctor warned him that he might suffer a heart attack some day. He did in his 40's and survived. Piper had an incredible gift for inciting fans. He also starred in successful B movies, notably for John Carpenter. In They Live (1988), he delivered a line quoted till this day: “I’m here to chew bubble gum and kick ass -- and I’m all out of bubblegum.” Here’s a six-minute clip of him at his best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9V5br1QhMs
The day started on the wrong foot. When I reached check out at Stop n Shop, I had no money and had to use my debit card. I assumed I'd left the $20 bill and $2.50 voucher on my dresser. They weren't there, and I realized I may have deposited them in the mailbox along with the Netflix parcel and a bill. Either that or I dropped them along the way. It's the dumbest thing I've done in a long time. At least some lucky soul's day. Fortunately, my good luck continued at the floating book shop. My thanks to the oddball who pointed at Rising Star and handed me a wad of cash. When I plucked a ten, he looked distressed, so I settled for five, even though he still didn't look happy about it. I'm sure he's spoken to me before. Maybe he's taken a vow of silence. My thanks also to Jack of Chase, who bought two more thrillers, and to Conspiracy Guy, who purchased Learning Japanese.
