General Noriega - RIP

General Noriega, the ol' lavahead's doppelgänger, has passed on. Yet another icon, albeit shady, from the ol' lavahead's era. Sadly, many more icons have passed on recently, including Greg Allman, Powers Boothe, and Roger Moore. Too many, actually, and a tragic reminder of mortality at work. There will be no more “tweets” on Twitter® about any other icons passing on subsequent to that of General Noriega.

Mortality, of course, includes precursor events such as testosterone depletion and the atrophying of the Vienna Sausage. The negative effect of the latter will be the gradual deprecation of pictures of young hotties in the Twitter® feed. Of course, increased “senior moments” may lead to the mummification of the entire feed.

Addendum: The proto-neo-con(man), Zbigniew Brzezinski, also passed on recently. In his case, good riddance!
