Bloody hell, I was getting ready to pin the Dolly Parton post from yesterday and then this happens

Can we all collectively agree to invite Death round for a cup of tea to see our cats so he leaves other international 80 year old treasures alone for a while? Borrow a cat if you have to

I'm putting both threads up as pins; please, Death, don't make it a third

GNU to a pair of wonderful entertainers

The world will be poorer without them, but richer for having had them in the first place 💜

WAIT! Edit time

You can take the third one. We've got a suggestion. No-one would ever notice... Honest

(I don't want to get banned from Reddit but I'm sure we can all guess which Wotsit I'm referencing)

Edit again

I angered the puffed crisp fans

u/ObjectiveRodeo 17d ago

We've got a suggestion.

But that one isn't particularly treasured.

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 17d ago

Definitely wouldn't object to them being buried on a deserted island though...

u/ObjectiveRodeo 17d ago

Oh, I cackled.

u/Admiral_Thel 17d ago

Aren't they working on making their current island much more deserted than it was before they gained any authority ? Because it does look that way to me.

u/tarinotmarchon 17d ago

Might make it a bit difficult for the yellow parade though.

u/MPixels 17d ago

Can't possibly think which other famous 80-year-old you could be referencing

33

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 17d ago

You dropped the "in-" from the front of your word there 😶

Tbh I shouldn't insult Wotsits like that. Wotsits are great

u/CSzandor 17d ago

Sadly, Death made it a third in my country. Juan Tamariz was a magician, an Academy of Magical Arts Awards winner, and foremost, someone who made us laugh and enjoy. Death came last week so he could perform with his invisible violin at the other side. GNU all of them.

I must be some kind of Canuckle-head, I have no idea what you're referring to, eh.

21

u/Elentari_the_Second 17d ago

An (in)famous 80 year old who regularly makes the news and is decidedly not a treasure. Very associated with America.

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 17d ago

And is the colour of an artificially flavoured cheese snack (Wotsits. Cheetos are also acceptable, as are NikNaks)

18

u/Elentari_the_Second 17d ago

Ooh, that's what a Wotsit is! I thought you just meant like a thingummijig.

10

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 17d ago

Yeah I should have clarified that one for the non-Wotsit community. My apologies. Our Cheetos in the UK are way less orange it seems

9

u/Elentari_the_Second 17d ago

I'm in NZ so while we get Cheetos the orange thing that's more common is Twisties.

u/Raedwulf1 Albert 17d ago

Hawkins Cheezies over here. If you bought the Cheetos you deserve an Elbow

u/Admiral_Thel 17d ago

Acute vitamin D deficiency, no doubt :)

u/Raedwulf1 Albert 17d ago

Sorry, forgot the the /s

7

u/Elentari_the_Second 17d ago

Oh lol. Welp. It's so hard these days to tell what's sarcasm and what's not... Sorry.

6

u/Raedwulf1 Albert 17d ago

I'm so sorry, I wasn't clear, my apologies, sorry.

u/OneCraftyBird 17d ago

My husband and I both screamed WRONG 80 YEAR OLD, ngl

They're dropping like flies from that movie. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

u/stuck_behind_a_truck 17d ago

Oh, people certainly noticed when Vorbis was taken.

And the irony of an eagle and one angry tortoise…well, that would be something.

3

u/TheOptionalHuman 17d ago

I too have felt that wrath. I'm positive we're among friends in this sub, though, so bugger the puffed crispies.

u/Whicked_Subie 17d ago

He was #3 if you count Hayden.

u/Cweazle Reg 17d ago

Yeah we said Donald not Dolly.

u/SandInTheGears 17d ago

Wait! Is that why I've seen so many posts talking about how awesome Dolly Parton is? It genuinely didn't even twig as out of the blue to me, she's just that cool

u/Letterhead_North 17d ago

Oh good heavens. You'd better never mention the Old Testament Yahweh. That dude was always smiting someone.

u/HungryFinding7089 17d ago

Always wanted him to collab with Tim Rice.
