This time, it's Donald O'Connor and Elia Kazan.

Well I've never heard of them, so do they really count as celebrities?

Obviously I'm surrounded by a bunch of uncultured louts.  :o Donald O'Connor was the funny musical sidekick in Singin' in the Rain, among other things. He was also in Francis the Talking Mule, which my dad had multiple videos of when I was in high school. Elia Kazan directed a number of movies from the 40s to the 60s and was one of the founders of the new Method acting. My favorite of his is a Gregory Peck movie called Gentleman's Agreement.

Elia Kazan happens to be the director of my favorite movie of all time: "On the Waterfront".  If you haven;t seen it, go out and rent it.

He also was ostracized by most of Hollywood for 'naming names' during the McCarthy era.  Good Fun.

Britney Spears is still pretty young, Saint.  You're going to have to wait awhile.

Care that she's still alive no, care that someone hasn't put her in the dead book, yes.

Okay, now you're scaring me, but in a completely different and more disturbing way.

I care about her body, if thats any consolation. We should imprision her in a block of ice, or a stasis field, so she doesn't get old :P Not like she is good for ought else anyway.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

On that note (ok, no, it's a similar, yet unrelated note).

My Assassin Priest army has begun to grow. I was originally just going to substitute ninjas. But then a friend recommended I take the "King Noah" example and just ordain my ninjas as priest. So I now have NINJA assassin priests.
