spatchMarge Schott is dead at 75. I wonder now if they'll rub her hair on Reds players for good luck.
Ok, that was a bit mean. But she deserves it. While she may have run a good team, keeping concession and ticket prices among the lowest in the major leagues, she was also batshit insane. And yes, she did rub dog hair from the deceased Schotzie, de facto Reds mascot, on her "million-dollar niggers" (as she once called Dave Parker and Eric Davis) for good luck. The Tact Train never made it to Margie's stop, that's for sure.
(Back when Billy West was on Howard Stern, he could slay an entire show segment just by breaking into Marge Schott's voice and hollering for a few minutes. Where's Billy now when we need him?)

Date: 2004-03-02 09:30 pm (UTC)Have you seen Disc 2 of "Comic Book - The Movie", featuring him at some sort of voice-actor's symposium at the SanDiego comiccon? He tells this story about how the actor who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spiderman movie was also on "Oz" for awhile as some psychopath, and his wife LOVED that character and really thought J Jonah was drawing from some truly-deep internal stuff for that role, and then Billy ruined everything by telling her "Oh yeah, I know that guy... he's the yellow M&M."
