Based on the time and crossing he got hit at, it’s far more likely he was either headphones or non-sober than trying to get hit on his bike.

Not obscure, but maybe not thread worthy. Gilbert Gottfried.

His podcast was often very funny.
Check out the episode with Bob Costas - it is hilarious.

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
I was watching a Wings “Christmas” episode a few months ago where Helen throws a holiday party. Gilbert Gottfried was playing his typical (annoying) character and busts into the party uninvited. After the faked pleasantries, his character (“Lewis”) busts into the kitchen where Helen is talking with either Joe or his sister:
“Excuse me. Do you have any toothpicks? I’ve had some food stuck in a tooth for a while now and it’s driving me cra…Oh, never mind. It just broke loose.”

The Mad Bomber Daryle Lamonica yesterday at 80 certainly deserves a mention. The original "fuck it, Branch or Biletnikoff's gotta be down there somewhere!"

The iPod Classic contained pretty much the greatest user interface in the history of modern civilization. The scroll wheel is just off the charts in its brilliance.

I bought a 1st Gen iPod (which itself would be worth some dough if I still had it) and remember thinking I should buy stock in Apple. Sliding doors.

ouch :( RIP Buffalo Bob.
man, Lanier probably worthy of a thread for some including my dad who went to college w him. Dad still laments the broken leg and blames/hates Chris Ford to this day for "costing the Bonnies the title" (unsure if really true but I let him ramble)

Gloria Parker, Maestra of the Musical Glasses, Dies at 100
As the title character in his film “Broadway Danny Rose” (1984), Woody Allen is a hapless talent agent known for his stable of weird, hard-to-book novelty acts: a blind xylophone player, a stuttering ventriloquist, a balloon folder — and Gloria Parker, who plays music by rubbing her moistened fingers along the rims of 28 crystal wine glasses.
“She is the Jascha Heifetz of this instrument,” Danny says in one scene, pitching her to the skeptical owner of a summer resort as she plays “The Band Played On.” “It’s incredible. Never took a lesson. This is self-taught. Next year, my hand to God, she’s going to be at Carnegie Hall.”

I saw that movie like 800 times on cable in the '80s. I haven't seen it in full since, but I feel like it's underrated?
brian and me having identical movie tastes strikes again.
RIP Fred.

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
It is not underrated. It is bad. Fun but bad. Appropriately rated.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
It’s kind of delightfully bad though. We should have did it for a pandemic movie night.
