This mother####ing thread is a goddamn #### tornado.

One of my fondest memories is playing a show with an old band I was in at the Stetson like 9 years ago, and Jim and Randy walk in and start drinking. They were totally into it and getting drunk with us #######s. Goddamn legends. What a night.

Brutal! Loved that guy, probably my favourite character on the show. In fact way back in the Post Your Mug thread, one of the two I posted was me banged up with my arm around him at a college show him & Randy did.

No-one on TV played a more convincing alcoholic, very talented stage actor too I've heard. RIP.

Sad news.

I ran into him on the street on 17th ave several years ago, he was fully in character, wasted. Now he's up in the heavens, watching down on all of us. Like a s**thawk.

He ate at the old Hy’s with some of the TPB after a show while my brother was a chef there. He came in to the kitchen and thanked the cooks for a great meal. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, and Mr Lahey was a great character.

RIP

Had the pleasure of seeing him at the Dear Santa, Go #### Yourself tour at the O2 in London. By far the funniest character in TPB.

Right now I feel like I’ve fallen into the abyss.

The #### abyss.

What a great actor. For a guy that didn't drink he sure played a hell of a drunk. RIP John Dunsworth

Wow, that's really unexpected and sad to hear. I rewatch all the seasons every couple years and just started again recently, it'll be weird watching Lahey cruise around the park knowing John Dunsworth's no longer with us. RIP.
