I say the topic just gets closed and then bumped back to the top whenever he does happen to die.

Dude! Refrain! Until we get a definitive word. I think I might cry.

Dang. Long-time smoker, hard liquor drinker and way overweight...

If he's not room temperature now, he's certainly heading in that direction.

Alright Saul, bring it on! :) I won't be back until later tonight though because I'm heading to my gym to watch all the hotties. Until then, bash away!

It's gotta be a hoax, because they didn't even mention his best movie ever, the Big Lebowski.

Maybe it was a guy who looked like John Goodman. ;)

You mean a white Jason Whitlock?

My wife and I had just been talking about how his new sitcom was unwatchable because he looked so bad. We both agreed that he looked like he was on his deathbed. She even went so far as to say "he'll be the next Farley".

This really comes as no suprise to me.

Ok, now read the rest of this topic. ;)

More like the next John Candy, really.

I think the Goodman story is bullchit, but on the note of large, I did find this while hunting for the story.




Woman Gives Birth to 16.7 Pound Baby

SAO PAULO, Brazil — A woman in northeastern Brazil (search) has given birth to what one doctor called a "giant baby," a boy weighing 16.7 pounds. Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy boy named Ademilton on Tuesday at a hospital in Salvador, 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo. He was the largest baby born at the Albert Sabin Maternity Hospital in its 12-year history, the hospital said.

"Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section," hospital director Rita Leal said. "Both mother and baby are doing just fine."
Ademilton "could truly be considered a giant baby, for he was born weighing what a six-month-old-baby normally weighs," pediatrician Luiz Sena Azul told the Correio da Bahia newspaper.

Santos has four other children — ages 9, 12, 14, and 15 — who were born weighing between 7.7 pounds and 11 pounds.
"She knew Ademilton would be a big baby, but not this big" Leal said. "She, her husband and the hospital staff were caught by surprise."
The average weight for newborns in Brazil is 7.7 pounds for boys and 6.6 pounds for girls.

Hope this isn't true. Really liked him. He really had that aire of the "good natured big guy". I can't find anything like this by googling though.

Holy crappola!

"Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section". Thanks, Dr. Capt. Obvious.

I only get a blank page on the link also, I haven't heard nothing on it at all on tv, anybody know anything for sure yet? :(
