David Carradine's dead. He committed suicide in Bangkok.

Shit. Came a little out of nowhere. Friggin' bummer. Most of you know him as the guy from Kung Fu or Kill Bill, but he'll always rock the shit out of the original, real Death Race 2000.

You know the worst part? Not at all on purpose.

But, hey, enabling is always fun, even if only by accident.

(on a side-note, today's Boston Metro had the headline "Stranger than fiction death for 'Kill Bill' star." What the fuck about suicide is stranger than fiction?)

Ah...JUST read about how it might've been auto-erotic shtuff instead of suicide. Still not "stranger than fiction," per se...but, ah...yeah. Yeah, suddenly it goes from a great tragedy to...ah...some combo of tragic and SO INCREDIBLY FUCKING AKWARD.

I don't even know if there's an UNINTENTIONAL pun I could make, now...

I love the Original Death Race. I remember watching that a few years back...

"Guys, don't you see? This isn't a shitty B-Movie, its brilliant socio-political satire!"

"Goddammit Rey, you ruin everything."

My roommate once, off the top of his head, went on for about twenty minutes making 'Snakes on a Plane' sound like the deepest movie ever.

This is the same friend who INTRODUCED me to the original 'Death Race.' He has both imrpoved and totally confounded my life like that time and again.

My brain, it burns.

You see, the snakes are phallic.
