Oh, James Arness died.
... to be fair, I didn't know he was still alive.
Inara: You don't have to die alone. Mal: Everybody dies alone.

Arness was also the title creature in the original version of The Thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why would you say "I'm not racist but I hate black people"? I mean, at that point, aren't you okay with being taken for racist? Even a little bit?
It's another one of those facebook aggregators where you wish they'd challenge the posters, but these people would be even more frustrating to talk to. Though, seriously, own your shit. Just be fucking racist.
Unrelated to that, there is someone I want to punch in the face on behalf of a friend. Ooh, shit, do I ever. Don't mess with mah peeps.

20 years as Marshal Matt Dillon, P-C. You know, television wasn't born yesterday.

Gunsmoke was the longest-running show on television for some time. Not sure if it still holds the record. James Arness played Sheriff Matt Dillon, who had the world's longest and chastest romance with a brothel madam ever.
He also played the gruff mountain-man uncle in How the West Was Won, in the late 70s/early 80s.
