Well, bumping because I had to check:

Yep, now sign his guestbook, Steve. Search his name, some of his old LTTEs and their replies are just hilarious.
Thank you! This raises me to the 67-75% level of confidence that the primitive did indeed die.
One has to be really careful about trusting anything the primitive say, as I found out when dear old sweet Lu, hostess of the cooking and baking forum, whom the primitives had assured us was dead, ended up not being so.
DUmmies lie; all the time, DUmmies lie.
And it didn't help that the primitive who first broke the news was the greatauntoftriplets, a good pal of Fat Che and Skippy and Big Mo, and one of the loudest cheerleaders for the late red round one before he was late, ten and a half years ago.
The greatauntoftriplets, who somewhat resembles the late Gertrude Stein if Gertrude Stein had looked a little more like the late Elsa Maxwell and had badly-fitting dentures, has proven herself a notorious and prolific prevaricator, and so because it was her, well, I seriously doubted the pinto primitive had actually died.
When looking at the engraved plaques in the morgue on Skins's island, seeing that the ostensibly-died mitchtv primitive apparently hadn't died at all, I really feel a lack of confidence in those name-plates.
I'm only 100% confident that two of the primitives listed are actually dead, and that only because of first-hand, up-close observation. The first of course is the late red round one, and the second, the primitive woman bothered by cold weather, the TroubleInWinter primitive, who died in an automobile accident in northeastern Arizona.
Alas--at least for her--it had been a case of mistaken identity. The TroubleInWinter primitive resembled Ms. Hindenberg, the defrocked warped primitive, a great deal.
