Magenta was the first person whose style I knowingly tried to copy. 1980s Madchen couldn’t have chosen a cooler style icon imo.
― Madchen, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:19 (five years ago) link
I would like to very sincerely entreat you not to let this stop you (or anyone else). I don't know any of those two, but a) it is good to be prodded to research a bit outside the anglosphere, and b) the next time it could be some other relative non-celeb I actually really care about. In other words, thanks.

Happy to hear it. Both of those two are very much worth exploring btw, although I have no idea whether their works have been translated into English at all.

Co-inventor of the handheld calculator:

Getting my first calculator in the mid-'70s--I think it was a desk model, not handheld--was thrilling. (And indispensable in tandem with my MacMillan baseball encyclopedia.) I think it would have cost in the neighborhood of $50-75, which would be how much in 2019 dollars? You'd buy the same calculator today at a dollar store.

The experienced diamond expert's heart attack happened when a substance was injected into his penis, Belgian media reported.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 7 March 2019 16:10 (five years ago) link
It never hurts to be reminded that specificity is the watchword when it comes to penis injections. 'A substance' could be 18 fluid ounces of tartar sauce for all you know.
― Gary Ornmigh, Heywood's son (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 March 2019 16:19 (five years ago) link
tbf, injecting 18 fluid ounces of tartar sauce into your dick would definitely make it bigger, so mission accomplished imo
― invited to an unexpected ninja presentation (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 7 March 2019 16:22 (five years ago) link
the thought of getting that surgery at age SIXTY-FIVE is a good reminder than other people are a total mystery

xp or that penis enlargement surgery is prohibitively expensive, as a diamond billionaire couldn't amass enough of a fortune to get it until he was 65

Yeah, this is a move that only really makes sense to me as like a prelude to John Quiñones approaching people outside of a funeral home and asking them why they glared so long at the comically-engorged genitalia of their deceased loved one.

Jan-Michael Vincent -- the '80s heartthrob best known for his role on TV's "Airwolf" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.Jan-Michael actually died back on February 10 after suffering cardiac arrest while a patient at a North Carolina hospital ... according to the death certificate. We're told no autopsy was performed and he was later cremated.

weird to be a guy who was an up-and-comer in film, and later a fairly massive TV star for a bit, then die and the news breaks a whole month later.

JMV was much sleeker in build and had a longer career (and life) than JEH.
It appears I only saw him in Big Wednesday, Bite the Bullet and V Gallo's Buffalo 66. Three of the least drive-inny entries in his filmography.
Nobody over 50 associates Vincent with fucking "Airwolf."

I still associate him with Tribes, a made-for-TV movie from the early 70s. Also the movie Buster and Billie, which was the first male frontal nudity (non-sexual) I saw in a theater (rated PG-13 too!).
― nickn, Friday, 8 March 2019 17:16 (five years ago) link
Before The Mechanic, I remember him from the Danger Island segments on the Banana Splits tv show (directed by Richard Donner).
― 27 Discounts ILXors Get Only If They Know (WmC), Friday, 8 March 2019 17:49 (five years ago) link
he starred in White Line Fever and had a key role in the Burt Reynolds flick Hooper as well.
He was looking bad in recent years, really emaciated and with a prosthetic leg; he had most of his right leg amputated a few years ago after an infection.
