If you’re a TV psychic do you predict your own death?

If your name is Neil Armstrong and you’re not THAT Neil Armstrong or if your name is Will Smith, but you’re not THAT Will Smith, but you do have some accomplishments that would otherwise be noteworthy, how much does it suck that other guy has your name?

PPPS

Prince, John Glenn, what chance does Alan Thicke, Gordie Howe or Harambe have of making it onto my list, really?

PPPPS

If you were named James Bond and your birth pre-dated all those films, how many times did you want to punch those asshats in bars who were making martini jokes when all you wanted was a beer?

And you couldn’t do it the nice way with Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher? It sucks when a parent outlives their child. I mean it sucks either way, but it sucks particularly hard when a parent loses a child. You couldn’t just flip that shit around? I mean it’s the same week for fuck’s sake. You had to be a douche about it? Give it a rest already. This is going to sound like an ultimatum, but you go after Betty White or Mel Brooks and our relationship is over. Capisce?
