Marcel Marceau has passed away.
PARIS (Reuters) - Marcel Marceau, the world's best-known mime artist who for decades moved audiences across the globe without uttering a single word, has died aged 84.

The Frenchman's extensive tours and appearances on camera brought his silent art to people around the world. His comic and tragic sketches appealed on a universal level, with each audience interpreting his performance in its own way.

...

A veteran of dozens of films, one of his best remembered roles was a speaking cameo in "Silent Movie," made by American director Mel Brooks.

Despite all the jokes about mimes, a really good one is a great and rare thing. Marcel was probably the best.

    what was he like off-stage

    ill bet he had heaps of mad bitches
    aint even need to pretend to talk to them
    just go up to one, put one arm around them and use the other hand to pretend like they are in a tight box and have to squeeze together
    and while they are distracted the other hand just feels them all up

    This seems sucky.


    It's always sucky when dudes who are good aqt stuff die.



    Of course, on a scale of 1 to Big Deal, I think this rates higher than if, say, Fatal1ty off and kicked the bucket.

    Jeff: Whoever they are, if they're receiving messages, they might be sending them, too. Wait a minute. c-candy bars.
    Kyle: Candy bars?
    Jeff: Yu-you know. Candy bars. They usually come in a wrapper. Just like you... wrap a Christmas present. Christmas happens when it's cold. Cold, as in Alaska - that's... with polar bears. Polar bears... pola... polarity! I can switch the polarity to see what transmissions are coming from the location this one is being sent to!


    Jeff: Wait a minute! Butt sex!
    Chef: Butt sex?
    Jeff: Butt sex requires a lot of lubrication, right? Lubrication. Lubruh... Chupuh... Chupacabra's the, the goat killer of Mexican folklore. Folklore is stories from the past that are often fictionalized. Fictionalized to heighten drama. Drama students! Students at colleges usually have bicycles! Bi, bian, binary. It's binary code!

    Man. There's a rumor going around about how he REALLY died.

    Turns out some sadistic bastard trapped him in a plexiglas box and left him to die at the local park.
