As others have pointed out, John Morgan has died. He was the driving force behind most of my favourite Royal Canadian Air Farce sketches, back when Air Farce was still good. I remember bursting out laughing the first time I saw a Canmore license plate. Watch "Curling Marriage Breakup" and see the brilliance in action. You won't understand much of it if you don't know at least a little bit about curling though. How unfortunate that there are no clips on that page of his portrayal of the Queen Mother--or, even better, some of his radio sketches. ("Ohhh, Mrs. Merkin, I strroke yourr silky thighs!")

Amy DeLaPompa (John): "I've just returned from Thailand"
Bernard: "Bangkok?"
Amy: "No, just a little tennis!"

Yeah, yeah, I know. This isn't a real LJ update.
