I hate it when my brain travels down the same path as Deac, but this occured to me as well. Strange...

The original Death Race 2000 was a great movie, it featured a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone.

He was there filming something. His film crew went looking for him when he missed a breakfast meeting.

LOL! That is a GREAT movie. Run over people to earn points. I keep telling my sons that they have to find it and rent it.

An older coworker brought me that movie to watch. It was so bad in a funny way.

RIP David!

Koko Taylor also died today. If you're a fan of real blues music, she was a must hear.

I just assume anyone who goes to Bangkok is going for underage hookers. But I don't have much faith in my fellow man.

his balls were tied up, too.

man, if you are going to do shit like this, please do not die while doing it.

"Master, what must I do in order to leave?"

"Ah, grasshopper, when you can untie the knot that binds your balls, then you may leave".

Geeze, man...where are you getting this?

I really REALLY do not need this image in my head!!

The death of American actor David Carradine may have been accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday.
The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday in his luxury suite at Bangkok's Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. Police initially said they suspected suicide, though Carradine's associates had questioned that theory.
Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope "tied around his penis and another rope around his neck."
"The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm."

Thai police completed an autopsy on Carradine Friday but so far have not released the results.
Dr. Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital's Autopsy Center, told reporters that the autopsy was conducted because of the "unusual circumstances surrounding Carradine's death," but he did not elaborate.

Police Lt. Teerapop Luanseng had said on Thursday that Carradine's body was found "naked, hanging in a closet," and that police at the time suspected suicide.
But one of Carradine's managers, Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, dismissed the theory.
"All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide," said Tiffany Smith, of Binder & Associates, his management company. "We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that's not something David would ever do to himself."
Chuck Binder, Carradine's manager, said the actor was staying in the Thai capital while shooting a movie called "Stretch." When a producer went to his luxury hotel room, he learned that the actor was dead, Binder said.
