They say things happen in threes, coincidence?

They say these things always happen in 3's. So Farrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson and ... Who will complete the trifecta this time?

With any luck... you.

Apparently you don't think Ed McMahon is worthy of being part of this "trifecta". Idiot numerlogists...

woof.

Tyson.

Who? To be an icon people have to of heard of you!

You know, if you're going to talk about shit on an American-based thread you really ought to know a little bit about America and the local celebrities. Even Canadians know who Ed McMahon was. The man was a staple of two generations of late-night TV.

woof.

You mean Canadians who were unfortunate enough to be hooked up to American cable. I'm so glad we weren't when I was growing up.

Why is this thread an Ami one? The OP claims to be from OZ. The title or original content doesn't refer to Ami land either.

Time to readjust your tin hat me thinks.

Why? The thread was started by an Australian, it's not an American based thread, Jacko and Farrah were world famous, this old bloke wasn't. Being famous in America doesn't make you world famous.

Ed McMahon was one of the first people I remember watching on TV. We've always waited in vain for him to arrive at our front door with that fat Publishing Clearinghouse check.

Spooky how things happen in 3s...

David Hasslehof?

Madonna?

Mr T?

Patrick Swayze.

no, wait, that would mean...

oh no!

Been a pedant but aren't the Hoff, Madge, Mr T and Swayze all eighties icons?

yes, you are right, no t pedantic.

Hmmm, but I was born in the late 70s and these are the oldest icons I could think of!

Alright then, Joan Collins?

The kiddy fiddler was more of an 80s icon anyway.
