Hey, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych died. He's been nominated as a Great Dude in History. Expect an entry on him soon at The Dudespaper (www.dudespaper.com).

Incidentally, Marilyn Chambers also just died. Coincidence? She was also pretty Dudeish. She fixed the cable quite often.
In your wisdom, you took them, Lord....
RIP :-\
The Bird was a bit of a dude, I admit, but I see more of Donny in him.
"Were you listening to the Dude's story, Bird?"
"I was pitchin'"
"So you have no frame of reference..."
Marilyn Chambers? Her co-star in the beaver picture?
