Could y'all stop dying for like 10 minutes? It's about enough just getting older every day without all the obituaries. I mean, fuck!

No, no, "Underhill" was just a name Frodo was using to avoid detection in Bree.

Irwin Fletcher took a trip to Rio and charged it to Ray's credit card.

Want the number?

Why doesn't this have the 'ohno!' tag?

According to his website, he died of chordoma. Sad.

If you're like me and misread this post, you'll be glad to know that Roy Underhill is doing just fine.

Glad to see I'm not the only one to make that quick read mistake.
