ghost of delete key Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Actor Peter Graves died today at age 83 of an apparent heart attack in Los Angeles. He starred in the television series 'Mission: Impossible', and in movies such as 'Airplane' and the cult thriller 'Death Car on the Freeway'. Fans of the Mission: Impossible series and of his many sci-fi and drama movie appearances throughout the 50s to the present will miss him. Possibly the greatest spy of all time, he'll now be conducting surveillance from where he truly cannot be detected. NY Times article "I can just imagine him driving off the edge of a cliff like Thelma & Louise, playing his Q:13 mix at full volume, crying into a bottle." - Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star-Lord Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) F*ck one of the greats. Shall be missed. R.I.P In honor of Mr.Peter Graves, Here's one of the funniest quotes from the movie Airplane. Flight Control: Flight 209 you're clear for takeoff. Clarence Oveur: Roger. Roger Murdock: Huh? FC: LA departure frequency 123.9. Clarence Oveur: Roger. Roger Murdock: Huh? Victor Basta: Request vector, over. Clarence Oveur: What? FC: Flight 209 clear for vector 324. Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence. Clarence Oveur: Roger, Roger, what's our vector, victor? FC: Now we're in radio clearance, over. Clarence Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur, over. Victor Basta: Roger. Roger Murdock: Huh? FC: Roger, over. Clarence Oveur: What? Roger Murdock: Huh? Victor Basta: Who? He was also in Bonanza for those who are old enough to remember.

ghost of delete key Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Seriously? Nobody's trying for the old "tape will self-destruct" joke? I was a big fan of M:I when I was little; I used to watch that bit with the tape starting to smoke and burn right on the reel and be fascinated. It bothered me, just how did they get the thing to spontaneously combust 5 seconds after playing it, but more to the point, did the IM Force have an unlimited supply of tape decks? I mean cripes, if I got a fingerprint on my father's Akai reel he would freak. How are these agents getting to ruin perfectly good decks every time they got some kind of communication? I also wondered why in heck they never turned down a mission. I always wondered how that would go down: "Oh, GOD, No.. no way. I've been doing impossible missions for years, but this just has 'FAIL' all over it. No way am I ruining a wig and 3 Buicks just for some lousy mission, and you won't back me up?..."

Freakorama Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I got in contact with his ghost and he just wanted to tell you all good luck, he's counting on you. Not the same guy but, whatever. Still was a damn funny bit. Edited March 19, 2010 by Futurama_Freak1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
