Robin Williams died in 2014? Fuck off. As if it was that long ago.

Has it really been that long since Robin Williams? Jesus
 
In honour of Robin, from my favourite film of his. The opening of Mrs Doubtfire, still makes me laugh

We said the same thing. Ten years already! Crazy how time creeps up.
Been at a funeral this past week and there was a lot of death talk!

Doesn't seem right, does it?

Her death was so sad. I remember the video of her trying to sit up on the ambulance trolley as they wheeled her to the ambulance.

Yeah, that video makes no sense; she'd been in a burning car for 45 minutes (fire crews didn't know she was even there at first) and then sits up from a gurney and starts trying to get up. She seems naked but not burned? It's very odd.

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Robin Williams. Although it doesn’t feel like it’s been two years since Darius. Time really does fly by.
