Rue, or: We are Pop Culture Ghouls, in 140 characters
Rue McClanahan has died.
I first heard via text message.
In the next several minutes, I received notifications from no less than 6 people.
I myself had texted 3 people. One of them was a person who was texting me in the process. He won our ghoulish little race.
The official count. 6 people texted me to let me know Rue McClanahan had died.
3 people for Gary Coleman.
My brother-in-law texted to mention how bad it sucked Dennis Hopper had passed, but it was a day after the fact.
I'm not much better. I did 3 for Rue, 3 for Gary, and 1 for Dennis.

Hopper was the only one I texted about (I think I sent it to a couple of people). I've written about Gary Coleman on my crime site in the last year so I thought it best left uncommented. Hell, I didn't even know Rue McLanahan had passed away :(
