You guys really do lack a sense of humor, don'tcha? I'm just riffing on one of the classic board arguments…
I thought it was funny.
correct me if I'm wrong: didn't I read somewhere that prostate cancer has a death rate similar to breast cancer, but only gets 1/8th as much funding for research? Not fair.

i don't believe he was referring to johnny's passing. . .
That's so crazy. I just saw the Ramones documentary "End of the Century" last night.

RIP Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee. I'll be popping thorazine and phenobarbital for you guys this weekend.
you might wanna rethink that and pop some selenium or saw palmetto
are there any Ramones left?

just one.

that really sucks an egg.
very sad news. :( but on pollstar it says he died w/ family and friends, so at least he died happily.
I was referring to Rhett's two attempts to flame.

one orginial member, but there was a replacement drummer and bass player
Hey dork, making a joke based on his political affiliation or a joke based on a classic argument about the origins of punk seems hardly like an effort to "flame".

Making a joke about prostate cancer or death would constitute a "flame". You know, like Dupek did when Johnny Cash died.

I know if I died surrounded by Eddie Vedder, Pete Yorn, Rob Zombie, and Vincent Gallo, I would die happy as well.

Sorry GGW, my apologies
Making those jokes in a thread about a guy who just died are indeed attempts to flame. And, coming from you, predictable and boring.

No problem.

I bet Johnny Ramone would think my jokes are funny. He was a true punk.

But its ok to flame artists or anybody that arent popular among the masses in here? I think Rhett is doing what everyone else does when someone they don't particularly care about dies. If your gonna poke at someone elses death that you dont like then expect someone to poke at someone that you like. I listen to Cobain's death all the time around here and keep my mouth shut, sure it was a suicide and not cancer, but it's still a death. And GGW, this isn't directed towards you, it's general.
And I am legitiately sorry for cracking a joke about Sonick's grandmother's death. Though it was intended as an anti-smoking jab, I can see how he would be sensitive about it and pained by her death.

Deaths of loved ones are painful, yes. But c'mon, has anybody here actually even met the Johnny Ramone? Lighten up. My jokes were in much better taste than what was said on here immediately after Reagan died.
