Steve Irwin
I leave out the obligatory "R.I.P." because it isn't what he would have wanted, but I'll say this. Live on in adventure, mate.
As ridiculous as he was, he found a cause that he belived in, risked death every day pursuing it, and then, after becoming phenomenally successful, gave every extra penny back into that cause. He died young, but lived every moment he had to the fullest. The world is better for having him.
But as a happy sort of sad-news-chaser, here's a picture of some of us at a Dodgeball tournament this Satruday. It made the front page of Gothamist, so I guess we're dubious local celebs now. Awesome.
By all means, enjoy yourselves in the comments.

Steve,
You went out in a way that was a memorable as the way you lived. Hope you're hanging with the crocodiles somewhere else now.
And I'm almost positive I've seen that picture advertising a gay porn film from the early 80s. I think it was called 'Sweating Balls.'
Crikey! Couldn't some of these dodgeball playing bastards have taken the barb instead of Steve? He was living proof that man could get away with pissing in God's eye, but now he's only an abject lesson in the supremecy of death. I, for one, believe only reason he was taken is because Heaven suddenly developed an uncontrollable crodcodile infestation, and the Powers that Be looked to the only man who could get the crocs back in line. Rest in Awesomeness, Steve: you will be missed.
