It's a shame, but he led one hell of a life. He even survived an assassination attempt. He also managed to deal with Alzheimer's for the past decade. I think he's earned his rest.

He will be missed by many....

i just heard about that on the radio a great leader
this reminds me of a linkin park song called "in the end"
well ppl our clocks are ticking to, never forget that i don't

..lampoonists in particular

a great leader, oh pls don't make me laugh, he was a back-stabbing coward, draping himself in the flag while he never did anything worthwhile, made crap films while other men of his genration were risking their lives, always had to be the hero, betrayed his fellow actors and prodfessionals during the McCarthy era and bought his political career on the back of those betryayls, ordered the National Guard to open fire on unarmed students, nearly brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, fomented dirty wars to support evil rotten regimes around the world and undermine popular movements such as the Sandinistas, flooded the 3rd world esp Afghanistan with arms (the shortsightedness of which we're paying the price for today) and ran a corrupt administration where graft and nepotism got you ahead. Great leader my arse. A crooked opportunistic actor.

oh and he was a big supporter of Saddam Hussein, how the hell do you think the Iraqis managed to win the Iran-Iraq war? can we just wake up now, this is Ronald Reagan we're talking about, not Abraham Lincoln. The man slept with jellybeans by his bed next to his nuclear "football" spent more time asleep than any other President in history and relied on his wife's astrologer to advice him on policy, when he was awake - otherwise Nancy used to to make the decisions. Great Leader? he didn't have a bloody clue what to say or do without a script, the bumbling oaf.

..the Belgian Police the Belgian Police, they weep they weep but they never sleep, because of the noise of the trains..

The Worlds Greatest Spam Compitition

it's just jealousy, Jake, I'm waiting for my own.

"Grand Mufti Tawakalna dies at age 393 - world mourns loss of its greatest genius"

oo I'd love that, but what I'll prob get is

"under this sod lies another"
"you're dead, we're not"
"we're nicking all your stuff Pete hahahaha" that'll be Arcon then

you forgot one -
"people queue up to dance in taw's grave"

i'd love to see
"legendary muscian/writer Jake Langley dies at 83 after procreating with three sports illustrated models. world ourns the loss of such a creative genius"

what i hope to have:

Emperor Of Arania Justin Brown, died at the age of 17 of massive cortexial overload. dæmon: Araminta, Phoenix. Emperor 714, elected at the age of 12, eventual victor over the Earthinian Rebellion. Many doubted his mental stability.
May his actions be a beacon to all those who follow him

'God Is Power'

What i probably will have:

Here lies Justin R. Brown
Murdered at the age of 71 in his home in Sydney, killer not found.
No known relatives or family
May he find peace.

if i may get on the bandwagon:

Ben 1983 - ( whenever )

beloved father, husband and friend to many.
his films bought enjoyment to all who saw them,
and his photographs inspired many to take up photography.

yup, thats how id like to be remembered.

They can just forget me, they do it in anyway

Damn Taw, you did an excellent job of telling one side of the story there. I commend you for being so short sighted.

Show me a man who trys to please everyone and I'll show you a man that has many enemies.

People just love to tear down others who have the gonads to actually have and voice opinions and the guts to stick to their beliefs.
