There is a saying among athletes that although victory is the goal, determination is what gets you there.

Kelly Preston (John Travolta’s wife) has passed away
She was a good looking woman. Bit of a fruitcake, but good looking.
Pity John didn't spend more time massaging her sweater pillows. Might have found a lump earlier.
I think he’s more of a pecs than a breast man
You take that back, the man's a legend. Have you seen him dance?
...oh, I see what you mean

Fuck. She was a hottie.
I rented her movie Secret Admirer a lot if times in the 80s ... for some reason my parents didn't click that it had boobies (they wouldn't let me rent Porkies).

Benjamin Keough, grandson of Elvis Presley, dies at 27 - National | Globalnews.ca
Lisa Marie Presley's representative says she was 'heartbroken' after learning about the death of her son.
Looks a bit like his grandad.

Grant Imahara from Mythbusters aged 49 from a brain aneurysm. That's a real shame, I liked him.
-
@Paekakboyz that's crap news. Really enjoyed him on the show.
-
This one has hit home. Wow, only 49 and what a guy. When you read his career, he had done a lot but will always be remembered for Mythbusters.
Was always a huge fan of Mythbusters and he was one of the best on it.
He's the 2nd to pass away as I recall one of the girls from the show (but not on as many) passed away some time back? She had a lot of tats from memory.
Very very sad
-
Oh man, love that show, loved watching him on it too.
-
Was a great show, look at discovery now. 98% of what they do seems to be about fishing, mining or fishing.
Seemed like the dream job, blow up shit on tv test out of this is true or isn’t... poor ole Buster..
49 is way too young, that’s not far off for me and for most of us here on the fern (many, quite a few have already passed that number) -

A bit more information surfacing around this. Turns out he had just left rehab for drug and alcohol issues. Has been telling friends that growing up as a kid in the Church of Scientology really fu^cks you up.
And then shot himself.
Very sad and yes @mariner4life seeing more pictures of him, looks a shitload like his grandad.

Worked on the Star Wars prequels too.
RIP indeed

Man that show was awesome, an incredibly talented bunch of folks all round. Such joy when they blew stuff up or proved/disproved something. Bringing scientific method to the people! 2000s Discovery TV had some amazing content. Sigh.

@Paekakboyz even some of the more 'boring' stuff they did was funny...like trying to prove if crossing your legs enabled you to hold on form taking a pee longer or Walking through a field with a blind fold!
So much great stuff

One that sticks in my mind is they dispelled the theory using a cellphone while pumping gas can start a fire. Never happened no matter how many things they tried.
