This Guy Died This Year: Peter Falk
Depending on your age, Peter Falk is that guy from Columbo, that guy from Princess Bride, or that guy from that show your dad used to watch (which was Columbo).

This Guy Died This Year: Shrek, The Unshearable Sheep
There is only meaning in life if there is revelation in death.

It's why we scour the obituaries and mourn the famous and infamous a...
This Guy Died This Year: Bil Keane, Comics Paterfamilias

A Plea For TV Networks To Show People Running Onto The Field
Big thank you to Drew for letting me guest this Funbag. Normally my day is filled with exploiting my elderly father for money (see: Shit My Dad Says), so it was a welcome diversion.
