Allen Melvin, 19whatever - yesterday

I'm not sure how to break this news to you, but actor Allen Melvin has left us. Apparently he died of cancer at his home in Southern California. I assume it was a long battle, he fought the good fight, etc. Everyone dies and he was old. He had very high highs and some really low lows (like when he probably had to go down on Alice), but say this about Allen Melvin: he really knew how to pack a lot of living into a lamb chop.

I know I know, you no longer have a reason to go on. Pull yourself together, the sun will come out tomorrow, sweetie.

Sam the Butcher is dead. My prayers are with his family.

I wonder if Sam made it with Mrs. Brady like every other guy on set except of course Mr. Brady who was gay and died of aids in the early 90's back when they still called aids an "unnamed illness".

I didn't know Florence Henderson was so hot to trot there Dave. Did she also bang Oliver? Holy shit did I hate that little kid. He was more annoying than Gary Coleman and Scrappy Doo.
