RIP, Mel Smith

Mel Smith has passed away, as the result of a heart attack, at the age of 60. May he rest in peace. Until I read through various sites, I wasn’t sure where I had even heard the name before.

He directed Radioland Murders (which I loved) and was in The Princess Bride as The Albino.

I came up with two Yuletide prompts for what I want to request when sign-ups officially start--so far, though, nobody has nominated either The Superdictionary or Ghostbusters. So I’ll think of something else when the time comes, if that remains the case.

Dad’s Yahoo account was seemingly hacked earlier, and from what I can tell by looking it over with him, it was used to send out a large amount of spam and potential viruses to everyone he knows. The end result of this was a morning fielding several phone calls from relatives who were baffled and concerned by the wording of some of the gibberish, and wanting to know if he was okay. Mentally. Because the spelling was worse than usual.
