From the “saying goodbye to living memory” department:

Thanks Newsweek and Time Suck for passing it on.

      Wow, that featured the most outrageous earlobes I’ve ever seen. An nice light-hearted follow-up to the rather grim previous article!

      Thanks for posting that Adamu! I actually had the luck to meet one of them at the San Diego Comic-Con 3 years ago.

      I met the gentleman from the Lollipop Guild and a woman who I believe was his wife, another dwarf (LP?). Both were extremely polite and friendly to me – I actually had more fun with them than any of the other “stars” that I’ve met at conventions, though Tycho and Gabe from Penny Arcade were also very friendly.

      I don’t think it was very nice of Newsweek to show the actor on the far left napping though :P

      (Oh, after a little more research, the man I met was Jerry Maren, also mentioned in this article!)

      For some reason I find this almost as poignant as the “last soldier to storm the beach as Gallipoli dies” sort of stories you usually see about veterans. Oz was an amazing movie.
