I wouldn't wish death on anyone loser. I am above acting like a stupid liberal idiot. Note I said like one, I didn't say you are. But quack like a duck and I just might call you a duck.

Besides Sean, Chris and Michael, their father Leo was also famous in Hollywood. He directed for some enjoyable family shows such as Little House and Diagnosis Murder, but I understand that he was a radical leftist/communist. That would make the Penn brothers red-diaper babies, which makes it kind of inevitable that Sean would turn out the way he did. Not saying it makes me like or feel sorry for him for having such views, but he was born to it.

Never knew anything political about Chris, and enjoyed him in the few movies I saw him in.

I found it on the Red Sox message board on MLB.com, while I was bouncing back and forth between there and FR. I opened up another window, Typed in Christopher Penn, and a 1/12/06 thread on Sean was the only thing that came up as #1, so I quickly posted it.

I've been on FR a while, aned learned to make sure that I use the search feature before I post, so I don't get a dozen or so replies with the duplicate posts listed.

It appears sometimes that posting a duplicate thread rates right up there with murdering one's parents.....

I was gonna' write, booze and drugs...someone else beat me to it, not that I was racing, mind you.

Yes, in this case, I would certainly anticipate those as causes before much of anything else. Alcohol has a way of piling on the poundage, and a lot of people resort to cocaine to try to lose them, then get hooked on the "I can still drink" myth ("as long as I can use coke!") myth.

I agree. I don't understand why some idiots on both sides of the political spectrum have to fault someone else for their ideology. I don't agree with the liberals, but I am not going to wish death or celebrate any one of theirs. It is debased and immoral, immature and idiotic. Those who do so bring themselves down to a lower level.

Like John Candy, a fat person can only last just so long.

Hate to break it to you, but thin people only last so long, too.

He wasn't in True Romance. I think you might be thinking of Michael Rappaport.

"No Myth" was indeed a rare gem. Performing on "Saturday Night Live" October 24, 1987:

Not to mention diabetes. Alcohol, no exercise, tons of food = weight gain = diabetes. Uncontrolled ... yes, that could be the culprit.

I'll go along with you if you make an exception for someone like Castro, whose death just might bring about a positive change for millions of Cuban citizens.

...and absolutely no connection to the Revolutionary War. Have you wandered on to the wrong thread?

As far as I knew, John Candy and Chris Farley were fat most of thier lives. Chris Penn wasn't always fat. he might have had a serious malady or maybe a drug problem.

Btw, Dom Deluise is still kicking. So is Ernest Borgnine. Both fatso`s.
