RIP Larry Flynt

[TigerVols]

Dude certainly left his mark on publishing...

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Surprised that he wasn't already dead and wasn't older than I thought.

Was going to say "beat me to this," but, well ...

Hatchet wound to the groin?

Dude certainly left his mark on publishing...

Left a mark indeed.

As did I on his publishing.

All roads lead to Hawaii.

Yep. I assumed he had died at the age of 80 in 2010.

Going to that great Beaver Hunt in the sky

Speaking as someone who briefly worked for one of Flynt's competitors, the second-best part of Hustler -- and best illustration -- was the Asshole of the Month award, which twice went to Phyllis Schlafly.

The ambush in Lawrenceville happened nearly 43 years ago. Perhaps they've renumbered the buildings, but the restaurant Flynt and his lawyer were eating at on South Perry Street doesn't exist on Google maps. There's a State Farm insurance agent, an empty lot and then a law office. We lived in Lawrenceville for nearly six years and I've been on that street a few times.

There ought to be a monument, or at least a naked sculpture.

Is he going to lie at half mast?

Did he ever wilt in the postseason? [/crossthread]

 

[Songbird]

He wilted post-seeding.

 

[Deskgrunt50]

No idea how close to, or far from, the truth it is, but People vs. Larry Flynt is an excellent movie.

Has a cause of death been provided? Possibly COVID 19, I would guess.

Joseph Paul Franklin can be ruled out.
