Marty Schottenheimer passes at 77.

Always liked him as a coach, even if he could never get his teams over the hump.

[Daehawk]

I get him mixed up with Marge Schottenheimer who was a real character of ill repute..mouthy ass.

A really good way to tell them apart is that both their first names and last names were different (her name was Marge Schott).

Larry Flynt dead at 78.

He had a good run.

[McNutt]

I don't think he ever got any of my consumer dollars, but you can never be sure.

We will always have Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.

[Jaymann]

Is it possible many of these people held on just long enough to see a Florida Man lose?

Oddly, my wife had some pictures of her in his magazine. Not centerfold but like girls of Arkansas or something. That would have been more than 50 years ago tho.

Hustler started in 1974. My teenage self (and friends) liked it better than Playboy since the pictures were much more graphic. I mean the articles. The articles appealed more to teenagers.

RIP to Larry. Always loved how he would stand up to anyone especially those dirtbags who considered themselves morally better than others. I even started mixing up the old saying "In like Flynn" with "In like Flynt"

Playboy made boobs respectable in America. Then Penthouse gave us pubes. Then Hustler showed us wide-open beaver and won the Smut Race.

[dbt1949]

My bad. I thought we were talking about Penthouse magazine.

[Daehawk]

They were all ok but preferred OUI. My teacher in Jr High once confiscated a OUI. I never got it back. I even had the nerve to ask for it in the office. Strangely it was never turned in.

We discovered my pal's older brother's massive stash of porn while he was away in the army, and we turned it into a neighborhood lending library.

Bob Guccioni (aka "The Cooch Gooch") expired some years ago.

We had a whole shopping cart full liberated from my dad when I was teenager. Then some PoS stole it.

[Blackhawk]

My dad always had a stash. I think I was nine when I first discovered this (and what an eye-opener it was, in more ways than one when I showed it to a neighborhood girl a few months later.) Whenever we moved, which was frequent, finding the new stash location was my #1 priority.

[Daehawk]

My dad and step mom had an erotic 8-track if you can picture that. It was full of sex sounds and stories. Used to play it when they were gone.

is it wrong that I still see this as "UWIE" in my head, although I certainly know what it is and how it's pronounced?

Vincent Jackson, former Chargers and Bucs receiver, dead at 38.

Vincent Jackson, former Chargers and Bucs receiver, dead at 38.

Shit. No reason given...usually one would expect drugs in such cases but it could always be Covid these days.

The story I read sure seems like overdose or suicide unfortunately.

We discovered my pal's older brother's massive stash of porn while he was away in the army, and we turned it into a neighborhood lending library.

I had a few friends that would go diving in the magazine recycling dumpster by the mall to look for dirty mags. They would always find a bunch of them. Then one day of them got paranoid that his parents would find his stash and so he buried them in the woods behind his house.

Rush Limbaugh died, age 70.
Have nothing good to say about him.

[Daehawk]

Bout time.

[Octavious]

[Jaymann]

A truly despicable creature:

[ImLawBoy]

A preemptive request to keep the politics out of things, please. If someone wants to start a thread regarding Rush's death and/or legacy, R&P would be the right place for it.

Thanks.

[Paingod]

Have nothing good to say about him.

You already did, though.

When someone makes a career out of hate, it's not going to be a shock when people wave goodbye at the end.

[McNutt]

I used to listen to him about 20-25 years ago. He didn't seem so bad then. I'll say goodbye to that Rush.

[Exodor]

He was just as bad back then.

I won't celebrate his death but the world is a better place without him in it.

[Daehawk]

Other than his death announcement I only remember one other feel good story about him. The time he was caught smuggling Viagra from Jamaica.

Don't you speak falsely of Jamaica. He was busted smuggling Viagra from the Dominican Republic.

An island down thata ways

[Kraken]

Wife had a more diplomatic reaction than I did: "I guess I feel sort of sorry for his wife." Then she learned that he'd had four wives, and didn't feel as sorry.

In 1977, Limbaugh married Roxy Maxine McNeely at the age of 26. At that time, McNeely used to work as a sales secretary at radio station WHB in Kansas City, Missouri. However, only after three years of marriage, McNeely filed for divorce, citing “incompatibility”. The couple officially ended their marriage in July 1980.

Three years later, Limbaugh married Michelle Sixta, a college student who used to work at the Kansas City Royals Stadium Club. The couple parted their ways in 1990.

Limbaugh married Marta Fitgerald, an aerobics instructor, on May 27, 1994. As per reports, the acclaimed radio show host met her on the online service CompuServe. In 2004, Limbaugh announced on his radio show that he and his wife of ten years have decided to end their marriage. As per his spokesperson, Limbaugh decided it would be better to make an announcement than to have his listeners and friends find out through other mediums.
...
Limbaugh married his long-time girlfriend Kathryn Rogers in 2010, who remained by his side when he succumbed to cancer.
