2006-11-12 -Short Attention Span Theater-

Bummer.

More at link. Here's an excerpt:

The actor clutched his Oscar in one hand and dropped to the ground for a round of vigorous one-handed push-ups.

The Academy Awards crowd laughed and applauded as he said, "That's nothing, really. As far as two-handed push-ups, you can do that all night, and it doesn't make a difference whether she's there or not."

#2 Jack's 'Tough Guy' persona was projected with great skill and convincing realism. That glance and grimace along with that 'scrappy' voice, was such, could make a man stutter when talking to him. Other than perhaps Mr. T (in his prime) I can't think of anyone else that could do that!

Are you sure that was Palance? I seem to recall someone else in the part (though I can't recall the name just right off)

Regardless, ole' Jack was a class act all the way through.

I crap bigger than him

I thought the word was "better"...
