Tame those while devils up in the heavens boys

I know I've been trying to be all "bad things happen, no matter what year it is" and downplaying "curses" and all, but...there's been a metric ton of patterns lately. This, Ruby and Spears, Trebek and Connery, the last of the Password and Concentration hosts, and other coincidences. It's scary.

I wonder if losing Roy weakened his own will, along with the sickness.

And again, let us not forget the real Big C in the midst of that other C that hopefully a vaccine will help.

As much as people liked to joke about them, they were as synonymous with Vegas and its success as anyone else ever was. RIP

Yeah for sure, how the hell does one even have the balls to begin to domesticate those Tiger beasts that they worked with?

I always wanted to see a show of theirs. And I liked watching that Father of The Pride show.

RIP.

I remember a few years ago I was in Vegas so my wife and I went to the Jungle Cat exhibit at the Mirage that was presented by Siegfried and Roy. I was looking at one of the tigers then all of a sudden the person standing beside me starts telling me starts telling me the history of the cat and it’s breed. I look over and it’s Siegfried.

That was one of the most random/unexpected things that ever happened to me.

He was so nice. He really loved his craft and his animals.

RIP

I didn't realize he was in his 80s. I forgot how long their act has been around.
