82 and you aren't on drugs? No wonder you died.

Ken, there's a necessary 12 year penalty added to your life span for every palpitation your topic induced.
I had three. If the total exceeds two dozen you get new tennis shoes and a flintlock.
I am..........disturbed.

Crap Ken
When I was deciding which section to open, this was the headline post on the right... An awe Crap emerged from my vocal chords, and .... luckily when I saw you were the author I suspected you are still with us.
Ummm, keep typing away, my friend, and the title of this thread will continue to be delayed, I hope.
Now quit that, young man!
Thanks for the adrenaline rush

Darn it!
I was getting ready to buy your book before it sold out hoping the price would increase ten fold. Then I could pawn it off on a sucker and rake in the extra cash.

Kent Not really. I've heard that it's not all that uncommon for friends or families to post obits on forums they knew the deceased frequented. I just don't like having my emotions toyed with although I don't believe that was the intent.

I got into that news release as far as Quemado Police Department and Quemado Regional Medical Center and then looked at the name of the poster.
I've been to Quemado and mentioning those non-existent facilities were dead giveaways, Ken. (No pun intended.)
Quotes from Dr. Mudd E. Noggin and Edithe Fantasia-Ephemera were nice touches, though.
Glad to know you're still kickin'.

Ken -
Next time you die, please PM immediately me so I don't miss the headlines.
Also, I need 15 minutes advanced warning of any unscheduled outages.
Thank you.

NOTED QUEMADO AUTHOR PASSES AWAY
QUEMADO February 15 � Ken Howell, 82, noted local author and raconteur, died of apparent natural causes at his Quemado residence Wednesday night, apparently peacefully in his sleep during the night, according to Quemado Police Department media representative Edithe Fantasia-Ephemera. No investigation is planned, according to Fantasia-Ephemera. Preliminary examination of Howell�s residence has revealed no suicide note and no evidence of drug abuse or foul play, Fantasia-Ephemera said.
Howell was transported by Quemado Fire Department ambulance to Quemado Regional Medical Center emergency room Thursday morning, where he was pronounced dead on arrival (DOA). Coroner�s spokesman Dr Mudd E Noggin informed the Myth-Legend that preliminary examination revealed no apparent indication of foul play. No autopsy is planned, Noggin said. Howell had been suffering from general physical decline for several years, according to Quemado Regional Medical Center spokespersons who spoke on condition of anonymity. Neighbors said that Howell always appeared in good spirits, with a ready smile and entertaining stories for his many visitors.
Howell was internationally renowned as the author of several books on a wide variety of technical subjects and an internationally respected technical and forensic expert on firearms.
Howell was the subject of a lengthy Myth-Legend interview and article in January, 2012, on the subject of his controversial analysis of �The Intricate Simplicities in the English Translations of the New Testament.�
Howell�s body was discovered by utilities repairmen who declined to be interviewed and requested anonymity.Just got a new word-processor and have been having fun with a bit of throw-away blarney. (Just a little bit o' nil to add a tad of sparkle to a dull day!) Thought that maybe a few at the 'fire might like to play with this, too. Have a ball, y'all!  Jesus, you're warped.
