I can't watch anything with John Travolta in it anymore. Scientology kills!

RIP Ron. Had no idea he lived around here. What a great show and character! Raising your hand in class was never the same....

well, since Travota's career is on life support, can we assume he's the next Sweathog to cross the Styx?

Juan Epstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0373811/): [Late at night in the dark classroom] Hey, Horshack. Tell me somethin'. Do you ever think about what God is like?
Arnold Horshack (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0657676/): Oh, yeah. I think he's short. And he has a marvelous sense of humor. And a great laugh.

For me, Horshack's laugh was the most iconic part about that character. I did a quick look on youtube, but couldn't find it. This was at the top though:

I hope Dustin Diamond can live with himself for beating up a man who was already 60 years old in 2009. I'm sure there is a Saved by the Bell joke in here somewhere...
