15 Years Ago Today

  • SnotBubbles


    On December 18, 1997, Farley was found dead by his younger brother, John, in his apartment in the John Hancock Center in Chicago. An autopsy later revealed that Farley had died of a drug overdose early that morning.

    Tommy Boy is one of the funniest movies of all time.

    His SNL skits were hilarious as well.

    Can't believe it's been 15 years.

    Wasn't he the 3rd SNL big shot to die of drug overdose at age 33?

    John Belushi, John Candy and Farley

    John Candy wasn't a cast member on SNL. Plus he was like 45 when he died of a heart attack.

    Matt Foley motivation speaker was the best. I always remember the cast members struggling to keep a straight face.

    Nope. I can drink 3 beers without needing to go to the hospital.

    Yet, I still don't need to have an ambulance on standby if I plan on drinking.

    Oh. You save the ambulance the trouble and just party it up in the emergency room? That's nice of you.

    The professor I'm doing research with played on the Marquette rugby team with him. I'm gonna try to get some stories out of him while we're in the lab next summer.

    Lol. You can poke all you want, but at the end of the day, you are still obese, while the whole "hospital after drinking" thing is the thing that's untrue. Lol.

    You said you went to the doctor after having chest pains and a hard time breathing....

    Oh, so you're a liar then? Cool.

    Lol. You can poke all you want, but at the end of the day, my sister married a white guy. :D

    My sister isn't married. But I like how you choose to go there.

    The saddest part of it all, is that Farley has been dead so long now that he's at the point in time where an entire generation has no idea who he is.

    Prolonged periods of shortness of breath, regardless of the "cause," led to a visit to the family physician, as I'm sure any person would do, to help find the cause.

    Drinking, then going to the hospital? No.

    GoChiefs incredibly fat? Lol. God, yes.

    Try to needle GoChiefs...GoChiefs is going to needle back. We've played this game before.

    What do you mean attack family? I just mentioned my sister. I said nothing about your family. :)
