And Billy Mays makes three.

And Billy Mays makes three.

There has been much discussion amongst my Facebook crowd about which celebrities belong to Trios-os-os of Death-eth-eth.

Most seem to think the order is thus:

Bea Arthur
David Caradine
Ed McMahon

Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson (STILL stunned about this one!)
Billy Mays

HOWEVER, I have one pain in the ass friend who thinks it should be like this:

Dom DeLuise (aHA! Forgot about him, didn't you?)
Bea Arthur
David Caradine

Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson

Billy Mays
..
..

Now, some may argue that Dom was dead too long before Bea died. I kind of agree. But what if he WASN'T? There could be two more!

We already have a vote for Dick Cheney - but I'm looking for likelihood, not wishful thinking. Anyone willing to put up a guess or two?

Dick Clark, Peter Falk, Abe Vigoda are obvious choices along with cryptkeeper Larry King. Chuck Berry and Dick Cheney come to mind. A younger candidate would be Joaquin Phoenix. Amy Winehouse and Artie Lange(both competing in the "die young and leave a horrible-looking corpse" category) Liza Minelli, already embalmed, is a contender. My SNL choices are... Garrett Morris, followed soon after by Don Pardo. Lauren Bacall is long in the tooth but still healthy and working, the classy broad that she is, so I hold off on adding her and wish her the best.

Boy, you really missed it. Karl Malden and Steve McNair.

Naturally, most of us had forgotten about Karl Malden, but - STEVE MCNAIR.

Wow.

Celebrity Death Triumvirate "Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest | TMZ.com. Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest Posted Jun 25th 2009 4:30PM by TMZ Staff We've just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles ... and we're told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance." Wow. Hard to believe he's gone. That should complete the Celebrity Death Triumvirate: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson... Unless, of course, you count it like this: Bea Arthur David Caradine Ed McMahon Farrah Fawcett Michael Jackson ... There COULD be one more. Who do you think it...

Thank you for your fast yet useless response. I'm moving on to my continuing adventures with the DC Government - and no, I'm not writing about Marion Barry. You'll have to check my Facebook page for that crazy shit. No, I'm talking about the inner workings of this completely dysfunctional entity itself. Have you ever tried to get help from them? Any of them? Have you ever tried to give helpful feedback? Don't bother. Just slap some duct tape on whatever your problem is and move on. You'll be much better off.
