Mid-week blah is, well... BLAH
Of all the recent deaths, this one saddens me the most.
Actor Rubes Dies
Veteran actor Jan Rubes has died, aged 89.
Rubes passed away on Tuesday. His cause of death was unknown as WENN went to press.
Born in Czechoslovakia, the star found fame in the 1940s as an opera singer and won first prize at the Geneva International Music Festival in 1948.
He furthered his career by moving to Canada before branching out into acting.
His most noted role was opposite Harrison Ford in 1985 film Witness, which was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two.
Rubes was also a TV star, appearing in shows including The X-Files, Due South and Stargate Sg-1.
He is survived by wife Susan, two sons and three grandsons.
Crystal Skull has always been one of my favorite episodes seriously, George... Stargate did it better than Indy. National Treasure 2 also did it better. But, you're George Lucas and it's Indiana Jones, so...
Also, Jan and the ketchup bottle in D2 was always kinda WIN! :)
In other news... my great uncle would have been 86 today. He was the first family member I remember dying... and that was, well, I don't even remember how long ago it was. If there was a Bob Evans around, I'd so be there... having PIE!
Also, because I remembered ALL BY MYSELF:
In honor of the Craigster:
Go to your nearest Sonic/7-11/Planet Smoothie/Orange Julius or wherever you go for your smoothie/slushie/Slurpee fix
If you drink one, he'll drink 40.
You feel the need to do a sit-up, he'll do 40.
You want to hit on your cousin... well, he'll probably throw up.
Again
