Dipping into the mailbag.
Constance M e-mails that we have a regular feature entitled "Passings" and we don't note everyone who dies.
What? The horror! You mean to say that there are 7.888 billion people on the planet and we're not noting every death? You mean there are an estimated 60 million deaths each year and we're not noting everyone? Shocking!
Reality, we don't generally write about any passing at THIRD. Members with community sites write about deaths and we provide a role call under the heading "Passings."
Constance is upset that no one wrote about the passing of Mark Goddard who she "fell in love with as a little girl watching LOST IN SPACE on NICKELODEON." He was 87 years old and had been married three times -- the second time (1970 to 1978) to actress Susan Anspach. He played Major Don West on LOST IN SPACE from1965 to 1968. He did numerous guest spots in TV including JAKE AND THE FAT MAN, THE MASTER, THE FALL GUY, BARNABY JONES, BJ AND THE BEAR, BENSON, DOG AND CAT, QUINCY, SWITCH, THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, THE MOD SQUAD, ADAM-12, PERRY MASON, THE FUGITIVE, THE RIFLEMAN, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, etc. He made his TV debut in 1959 in THE JOAN CRAWFORD SHOW: WOMAN ON THE RUN. His film credits included a small part in Woody Allen's PLAY IT AGAIN SAM, a lead in the Linda Blair cult classic ROLLER BOOGIE, 4th billed in THE LOVE-INS and third billed in BLUE SUNSHINE. He was also directed by Martin Scorsese in the original Broadway cast of THE ACT starring Liza Minnelli."
So there you go, Constance, your obit for Mark Goddard.
Leon wonders when Ava and C.I. will go back to covering entertainment TV? When that actors strike ends. (Only the writers strike has ended)
Bailey e-mails that he's "sick of Ron DeSantis" and wishes he'd "drop out already."
Agreed, Bailey. Although, having lasted this long, he could make it as a parody on SNL. C.I. suggests that they should have him entering as though he was doing ballet, tip toeing through in those ridiculous boots he wears to look taller.
Maybe that's why he's refused to drop out so far? He wants his SNL parody first.
On candidates, Nathan e-mails, "Cornel West was the biggest fake ass of the year. Ava and C.I. called it long ago and they were right. I wanted them to be wrong because I thought he was a cool candidate but turns out that he's not even willing to do the basic campaigning required. He's a fake ass and we need to do something to outlaw vanity campaigns."
Maybe Nathan can hook up with Gracie? She e-mailed that RFK Jr. "needs to drop out. I can't stand him or the way he caters to the right-wing. He is the definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Every word out of his mouth is a lie."
Lastly, Calvin asks what browser do we use? We use a variety. Rebecca, for instance, has sworn by OPERA since it became available. Others like GOOGLE CHROME, YANDEX, BRAVE, TOR, AVAST, VIVALDI, SEAMONKEY, PALE MOON, ALOHA, FIREFOX AND Elaine likes MAXTHON.
