Bela Karolyi dead

I'll leave it to the audience if it's RIP or we should let this stand.

 

I originally read it as Bela Lugosi and wondered why we were doing death notices from the 50s.

 

I mean, he is still dead, right?

 

Undead, undead, undead.


(A fairly niche joke. Don’t mind me.)

 

I love niche jokes! And yes, I immediately thought of that song.

 

Swear I thought it said Lech Walesa at first. Which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

 

So he finally stuck the landing.

 

Oh, Keri.

 

The Werner Von Braun of women's gymnastics.

He may not have been involved in the worst of the atrocities, but he had to have a pretty goddamn good idea what was going on.

 

Our Germans are better zen zehr Germans.

 

And he wound up being prominently involved in an iconic moment of American triumph.
