We will keep it up as we have had separate RIP threads. I wanted to make sure people know that we have a central RIP thread to keep track of who has passed away.

Gets a bit tougher as the years go by.

I get it. It's a bit depressing no mistake.

Loved that, Dugpa.
Recipe not my own. In a coffee cup. 3 TBS flour, 2 TBS sugar, 1.5 TBS cocoa powder, .25 TSP baking powder, pinch of salt. 3 TBS milk, 1.5 TBS vegetable oil, 1 TBS peanut butter. Add and mix each set. Microwave 1 minute 10 seconds. The cup will be hot.

His acting in Twin Peaks and FWWM made his character iconic and indelible, and he was a real contributor to the mood and feeling of the series. I was thrilled to see him in the Return, and even though he's only got the one scene, and is otherwise just glimpsed, it was exciting. I'm grateful that they found a way to include him as a Renault relative. I guess it constitutes another example of the Twin Peaks doubling theme.

Rest in peace, Walter.

Happy to share the story. He was a really cool guy. Was so glad we got to see him in Season 3.
