Jim Phelps is dead

Peter Graves' career was more like three careers. At least. He was Mission: Impossible's pre-Tom Cruise leading agent, Jim Phelps. He was Airplane's Turkish prison-curious pilot, Capt. Oveur. He was the Emmy-winning host of Biography.
The silver-haired star who lent a steadiness and voice of authority to 60 years' worth of TV and film was found dead today of apparently natural causes in his Los Angeles-area home. He was 83.
For all his work—Graves' credits include the Billy Wilder WWII classic, Stalag 17, to bits on House and American Dad—the actor may be best remembered for listening very carefully to the following taped greeting: "Good morning, Mr. Phelps…"
Or, then again, maybe he's best remembered for interrogating young Joey (Rossie Harris) from the cockpit: "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
And it's possible he's best remembered for helping tell the stories of dozens and dozens, both the famous and the infamous.
Graves intercepted self-destructing tape messages on TV's M:I from 1967-1973, and again from 1988-1990, in the short-lived redo. He was not the franchise's original leading man—Steven Hill, later of Law & Order, was—but until the Cruise movie franchise, he was its signature star. Graves never appeared in one of the Cruise movies; Jon Voight played a treacherous Phelps in the first 1996 big-screen adventure.
Airplane! made Graves a new comedy star at middle age in 1980. He returned to Capt. Oveur's œuvre in 1982's Airplane II: The Sequel. Biography came along in the 1990s; Graves stayed for more than a decade, winning an Emmy for the cable series in 1997.
Born in 1926, Graves was the younger brother of fellow classic-TV icon James Arness, who starred on the marathon-long-running Western, Gunsmoke.
Last December, Graves sounded ready for more careers, telling the Los Angeles Times he had no intention of retiring. "There has got to be some good parts around for guys my age," he said.
Was that a "Yeah!" ?burnzz wrote:

I was going to get some food after I'd gotten my books from the car (I came for two lectures, but was going to go hit the library up for the mountain of tute work due tomorrow).. sooo nope, no food. There is a maccas close by, but I didn't go cause i thought the NRMA might show up. Shall be mighty pissed if they take the full hour and a half.Adams_BJ wrote:

I signed up to some RACQ free2go thing a while back. Ive used it once, when my battery died too. The guy came, jump started it, let the car run for a bit, checked oil/washing fluid and shit, and found that the engine coolant was empty. The nice man even filled that up too. All of it was free, and it took the guy ~15 mins to get to where I was (a friends house).mcminty wrote:

I'm now home. The reconditioned alternator we got last year (dad took the cheap arsed option) was only providing about 12.9V, even when revving, as opposed to the 14V+ that it should be. The battery was slooooooooooooooowly going flat. That cunt of a machine we call a "car" has cost nearly it's value in repairs and fixes.
AND THEN, I get home to discover an email from uni saying my fees are now late. But it's like a "dude they are late, pay now you retard" email.. yet both my parents go fucking mental at me.
/shouting match
We are currently trying to pay them, but yes.. our internet is still fucking capped. Each page of the myUNSW website is taking like 5 friggin minutes to open. dkjghdsjklfhgsjdfhlgdsuyadoiufghs
And tomorrow I'm at uni from 10am to 8pm. I've got tutorials in 3 subjects.. and have so far done none of the tute work (I was going to do that in the library this evening).
Fml.

No word of a lie.
My teeth have been giving me gip for a week and a bit now, was in the chair last Thursday and as I left I made a new appointment for tomorrow at 2pm I thought.
My dentists usually text me to say 'you have an appointment ....blah de blah, please let us know if you wish to cancel blah de blah'.
My Mobile rings, I answer it 'Hello'
'Hi its the dentists just want to confirm your apponiment for tommorow @ 2.30'
'You mean 2pm'
'No 2.30'
'You taking the mick love, its been killing me all week - thats your fav time of the day isnt it hahahahaha'
She didnt get the joke and it went straight over her head, I almost added 'I'll get my coat'
Ive wanted to use that joke for years and when I finally do its wasted.

If you can do everything required on those computers I don't really see the problem.
He should of been born in the 1970's like my fine self and then had to put up with the shat we had in school. Best things about IT was flicking static electricity at each other (we would rub our feet on the carpet furiosly and touch the kid next to you on the ear, or flick it across the room) and I also got a Distinction Ive enever laughed so hard when I opened that up and read it, a fucking certificate it was.
man, I wish we had carpet on our school '27. All we got was a corner of a room. With a 300ft drop around us. All 100 of us tucked into a little corner scared for our lives while trying to learn English. You were lucky.
Fucking hell sounds like your in school in Africa, your almost there other than the mud hut and threat from Lions.
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥
Lions? We were lucky to get lions! Every twenty minutes one of our poor class mates would be dragged out of the windows by a pack of velociraptors. Man I wish we had lions.1927 wrote:

No, I don't need an attitude adjustment. You just need to fuck off.
Fucking hell Eif you've been in the wars havent you? You've broke yourself good and proper.
Everytime I hit the ball on the weekend it felt like I was getting smacked in the jaw with a crow bar, stupid fucking teeth, and some cunt smacked me on the knee and you can see the imprint the ball left (its like a large golf ball we play with). My left leg is partially Black due to being GK the week before.
Either of us put our kit away due to pain.....nah I dont think so

I managed to stay just on the right side of the line in school but fuck me I was close to it, I used to be a right terror but with the 'good boy' tag attached. So I always got away with it.Adams_BJ wrote:

I only ever didn't get detentions in my two senior years at school. I think I was even in trouble in kindergarten. Never seemed to damage my learning though. Always quite bright etc.1927 wrote:
