    You didn't need the word Dang, It expressed that you were surprised. Next time just state that the following person died.

    That's my point.

    I'll use whatever word I want. I could use fiddlesticks, or poo nuggets, or cheese and crackers or any other lesser offensive term to appease the decorum gods of Club Polk. But only at Club Polk would someone have a problem with the use of a less offensive word and make a stupid issue out of it.

    Your point is irrelevant since it's an expression of my intentions, not yours and I did not use the word incorrectly.

    And yes, it is surprising because the dude just turned 60. That's young.

    But I wasn't expressing surprise. I was expressing disappointment.

    BTW:
    dang - a euphemistic word for damn

    damn
     
    verb (used with object)
    1. to declare (something) to be bad, unfit, invalid, or illegal.
    2. to condemn as a failure: to damn a play.
    3. to bring condemnation upon; ruin.
    4. to doom to eternal punishment or condemn to hell.
    5. to swear at or curse, using the word ?damn?: Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

    The intent was that Epstein's death is a bad thing which makes definition number 1 the relevant definition. Since damn is a bad word here, I used dang, as a euphemism for damn, to avoid censorship under the forum policy on profane language. Also, it's just bad form to put profanity in the subject of a post.

    To young.

    I grew up watching those episodes and watching the one posted brought back my youth for a moment.

    Times were changing for the better around that time period for minorities and more and more jobs opened up in the world of TV series and movies for them that hasn't stoped since.

    RIP Mr. Hegyes
    You helped make that series what it was.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    RIP Vinny.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    RIP Vinny.


    Ummm...who the hell is Vinny?

    He played Juan Epstein.

    The only Vinnie in "Welcome Back Kotter" was Vinnie Barbarino played by John Travolta who is still quite alive.
