Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

That's a celebrity death that hits fairly hard for all of us who grew up watching New Hope and Empire and Jedi over and over and over.

Just suggesting that this'll be his final year in junior. I doubt he'll need more time - I don't think he does now, but he's not big enough to be a full time NHLer yet. I would imagine he'd start briefly in the AHL next year and then move up, but I also assume Ottawa wants to be real careful after the Lazar ordeal where he should have spend the last 2 years in the AHL.

You're suggesting the Ceci "development" method? That's worked out real well. Here's a novel idea: have a prospect play one full bloody year in the AHL. Wow.

Sure, we'll see how it goes. Chabot's probably a better prospect than Ceci was.

We don't have a specific celebrity death thread. Whenever anyone well known passes away I usually post in the most recent thread.

By the way, George Michael, too. Wham! And he's gone.

Kissinger is still alive.

Kirk Douglas just turned 100 earlier this month. Olivia de Havilland beat him by a few months.

It is terrible. The princess was my first ever crush (I was always into older ladies) and she left us fairly early. We had two more movies with the princess to look forward to.

Episode VIII had finished filming, I think. But they'll have to rewrite the last one. Maybe even make a last minute change in this one. Kind of like Colonel Blake's exit on M*A*S*H.

Did they finish filming? Well at least we'll get a little more princess, she's a great character. One of those first female role that matched men in strong women characters.

She also vastly improved the script by so accounts. Later on she became one of the most sought after script doctors in Hollywood.

Apparently Lucas told here she could not wear a bra during filming. "Why?" she asked. "Because no-one wears underwear in space. In zero-gravity your body will expand and your bra won't, and you'll get suffocated by it." Later on she said that in her obituary she wants it said that she was "drowned in moonlight and strangled by her own bra".

Apparently if a society invents FTL space travel they won't have any time/resources left for developing stretchy fabric.

Bailey recalled from Bingo. Guess Smith's Ubi will keep him or of action. Hoffman back with Brassard?
