    They said he had removed/used a nylon cord from the curtains.

    This may explain why I've never even been able to get those damn things to open or close properly--freaks after cheap and potentially deadly thrills.


    Sorry. I just really don't understand this kind of "me time." In a hotel. With the risk of death. And an absurd, too-soon ending to an otherwise remarkable life.

    I know it's tacky to point this out, but David Carradine was found hanged while filming a movie called "Stretch?" [shudder]

    I'm glad I've never killed myself while masturbating.


    I did kill a bystander once though.

    That's nothing, I critically injured an entire convention. It was a comic book convention so it was really expected.

    Found dead by hanging in a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand?

    As horrible as this may sound, I somehow can't imagine that the guy would have left this world in any less dramatic of a way. I'm not trying to disrespect him in any way. He was just one of those truly awesome guys that helped an entire generation define what it means to be cool. If he had to die, and I'm sorry that he is dead, then it had to be in some unusual, borderline morbidly interesting way. It had to be his own, personal way, as one last symbolic demonstration of the fact that he was in control of his own destiny, not some intangible force.

    Goodbye, David Carradine, and God Speed.

    Uh,... just what was he doing in Bangkok. I haven't heard anything good from that place. If I went there, I sure wouldn't have any identifying papers on me, because I wouldn't want anyone to know that I had been there, in case I died.

    If it is true that he commited suicide, that is very sad and unfortunate. I never understand the desire to end one's life. Depression is a seriously scary thing. In a way, I almost hope he was killed, and that they find his killer. Either way, this sure is an unglamorous end to a great career.

    Reminds of the the '74 Road Runner "clone" I saw for sale at the side of the road--basically a repainted Satellite with a 318, 3-speed slushbox. Next to it was a Benz roadster kit riding on '71 Beetle innards.

    If it was the original movie car with David Carradine's blood stains, Roger Corman's black book of B-Movie actresses and George Barris' signature (he'll sign anything), I'd say nice price. This thing is just crackalicious.

    Are those Jersey plates on this thing? If so, it goes a long way toward explaining it's existance.
