I must admit that I had basically no reaction to the news of Anna Nicole's death, other than surprise. Meh, she had great t!ts (once upon a time) and she was probably the world heavyweight champion of gold-digging whores. Whatever.
I tried to think of famous deaths that actually did upset me, and I think the one saddened me the most was Chris Farley.
Of course, I never met him, but he made me laugh so hard and so often on SNL and in his movies. I still think the
SNL Chippendales skit is the single funniest thing I have ever seen on television. The first time I saw it, I was laughing so hard I literally thought I was going to throw up.
And you could tell that he was just a really sweet guy who loved to make people laugh but never felt that good about himself. I felt for him when he was alive and I felt so bad for him when he died. He was only 33 and not much older than me.
I still miss him and wish he was still around making me laugh.
