So, the growing number of 1980's celebrity deaths is starting to become truly startling. The 1980's were not so long ago that the celebs from that era shouldn't be dropping like flies, but lo and behold they are.
It really began to happen with disturbing speed during 2009 with the losses of John Hughes (director/writer of The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone...ect.), Michael Jackson, Ferrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze, Bea Arthur (The Golden Girls) and it has continued now in 2010 with the loss at the end of February of Andrew Koenig (Boner in Growing Pains) and today Corey Haim.
Of course there have also been a ton of other celebrity losses that weren't necessarily 80s celebs, such as Heath Ledger, Brittney Murphy, Gidget (Taco Bell mascot) and Ed McMahon all in 2009.
So, my sister in law brought up a couple of interesting theories. The first is really great! Perhaps we have a very beautiful zombie apocalypse to look forward to. I mean if these are the people who will rise again and eat our brains, let me be the first in line to let them! Heath Ledger, Corey Haim or Patrick Swayze are all welcome to eat my brains any day...zombie or not!
So, with all of these celebs dropping like flies, perhaps we are just about upon some weird, yet beautiful zombie apocalypse! Usually we geeks have to be ready to fight zombies, but I can name more than one geek guy who would gladly get Ferrah eat his brains.
If this is going to be the zombie apocalypse, then the human race may be doomed!
But, lo and behold, my sister in law had another equally plausible theory.
Today is Chuck Norris's 70th Birthday!

Do you suppose it is possible that Chuck Norris requires a steady diet of amazing stardom to stay Chucktastic? It would make sense that as he gets older it would require that he needs more and more and a higher caliber as well. Of course he did devour Michael Jackson and Ferrah Fawcett in one week, so that held him off for a while, but he has picked back off.
Is Chuck Norris eating our celebrities?
Did he steal away Heath Ledger and Brittney Murphy? And now Corey Haim? What about Boner?
Chuck? Who will be next? You are making all of us 80s and 90s kids super sad!
So what do you think?
Zombie Apocalypse?
OR
Chuck Norris?
