Johnny Fever has spun his last record.  :'(

I always enjoyed watching him.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Yup, just read that. I wasn't familiar with other characters he has played, but Johnny was a classic. RIP.

I saw it was complications from colon surgery. As a guy getting up in years, I'm wondering what complications there can be to that surgery?

I still remember the episode where the police were to do an on-air broadcast to show how alcohol impairs your reaction time.  His improved the more he drank.

RIP sir.

Bleeding, clots , nick your bowel and miss it leading to peritonitis and sepsis, sutures letting go dumping contents into abdomen, reaction to anesthesia and probably a few more things I can't think of right now.

Ugh. That is making me rethink my probability math regarding cutting down on the colonoscopies.

Hospitals are concentrating on keeping people with nasty colds isolated to the point where regular patients are having problems.
