Title: RIP Terry Pratchett
Post by: Griffin NoName on March 12, 2015, 06:15:52 PM
Not so long since I saw a live interview on TV with him. What's he doing dying so quickly*?

:pillar:

* I know he was diagnosed in 2007 and that's a good long time ago, but it must have speeded up recently or something

 :pillar: and  :drunk: to his life, and life's work.

I've most recently been enjoying his Long Earth series with Stephen Baxter.
(and as a greedy reader, hope he's left enough to bring the series to conclusion)

I HOPE HE GETS A NICE PLACE IN DEATH'S DOMAIN

Edit:

Praise we Pratchett     who passed away
Mourn ye men     his merit was high
A voice of wisdom     vanished this day
Fountain of fun's     flow now runs dry

I ran puppets in an am dram version of Wyrd Sisters back in the 90s. TP came to the last night and the cast party. He signed my script "break a leg. Terry"

My dad found it in a folder at his house and assumed it was scrap.... He wrote chess puzzles on it and most of it got thrown away  :(

Guy was a legend.... Sadly missed. (Terry.. Not my dad... He's not dead although he almost was when I found out).

My son sent me this and it seems appropriate here.

It's a cake.
