Used to watch it with my mum during summer holidays. Think it had some official Olympics tie-in?

No, not George Lowe.... I loved how he kept showing up in series like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and SeaLab 2021, and so many other Adult Swim series. With him gone, it really feels like Adult Swim has died as well.

I know a George Lowe personally, he is a potter, and he isn't dead. It's so weird to see his name here.

RIP other G.L.

So the details on the Gene Hackman deaths are out and they're fucking terrible. The wife died of hantavirus around a week before Hackman. Hackman's body showed signs of advanced Alzheimer's, along with a host of other serious problems and finally had a heart attack. He hadn't eaten for long enough that there was nothing in his stomach and he maybe didn't know his wife was dead. The dog that died (2 others survived) died because it was in a crate. Whole thing took around 2 weeks before they found the bodies. Just fucking horrible. And the early article I read, where they interviewed his kids and they were going on about how he was in great health and they stayed in touch with him and how could this tragedy have happened? I have some thoughts about them but I won't say them here.
