I went looking on fark for the same Topic. Alas...nothing. Thakfully MSH didn't disappoint.

In reference to his death. Pro athlete...37...a little young for a heart attack, no? Anyone else thinking they'll find drugs. I guess that is the Captain Obvioius comment of the day, right?

I've read that he was on the list of 103 players that tested positive for steroids before the league implemented the suspensions for PEDs.

Or, as one guy put it: RIP, Dio, Hopper, and Coleman. These things always come in two and a halfs.

[BenderHockey 127]

Dio was only taller than Coleman by a nappy hair.

Figures the week Mack changes the thread name, two or three actual celebrities die.

Speaking as someone who basically had one from a clogged artery at 37, there is no longer any such thing as "a little young for a heart attack" in my mind.

Yes, but Dio made a career out of singing, while Coleman was famous for being short.

[BenderHockey 127]

Dio was a legend, hands down. Gary Coleman started out being known for being short, then became more known for being a bitter asshole, not that I could blame him. How many normal sized security guards would stop you by laying on the hood of your car?

Well, he was on a sitcom that aired for 8 seasons. That's not too shabby.

[Moose 1]

Stop 10 people on the street, 8 will know Coleman, 2 will know Dio, and all will know the devil horns.
