Marty Schottenheimer passes at 77.

Always liked him as a coach, even if he could never get his teams over the hump.

A really good way to tell them apart is that both their first names and last names were different (her name was Marge Schott).

Hustler started in 1974. My teenage self (and friends) liked it better than Playboy since the pictures were much more graphic. I mean the articles. The articles appealed more to teenagers.

RIP to Larry. Always loved how he would stand up to anyone especially those dirtbags who considered themselves morally better than others. I even started mixing up the old saying "In like Flynn" with "In like Flynt"

Playboy made boobs respectable in America. Then Penthouse gave us pubes. Then Hustler showed us wide-open beaver and won the Smut Race.

They were all ok but preferred OUI. My teacher in Jr High once confiscated a OUI. I never got it back. I even had the nerve to ask for it in the office. Strangely it was never turned in.

My dad always had a stash. I think I was nine when I first discovered this (and what an eye-opener it was, in more ways than one when I showed it to a neighborhood girl a few months later.) Whenever we moved, which was frequent, finding the new stash location was my #1 priority.

My dad and step mom had an erotic 8-track if you can picture that. It was full of sex sounds and stories. Used to play it when they were gone.

The story I read sure seems like overdose or suicide unfortunately.

I had a few friends that would go diving in the magazine recycling dumpster by the mall to look for dirty mags. They would always find a bunch of them. Then one day of them got paranoid that his parents would find his stash and so he buried them in the woods behind his house. :lol:

A preemptive request to keep the politics out of things, please. If someone wants to start a thread regarding Rush's death and/or legacy, R&P would be the right place for it.

Thanks.

Wife had a more diplomatic reaction than I did: "I guess I feel sort of sorry for his wife." Then she learned that he'd had four wives, and didn't feel as sorry.

MEAWW
In 1977, Limbaugh married Roxy Maxine McNeely at the age of 26. At that time, McNeely used to work as a sales secretary at radio station WHB in Kansas City, Missouri. However, only after three years of marriage, McNeely filed for divorce, citing “incompatibility”. The couple officially ended their marriage in July 1980.

Three years later, Limbaugh married Michelle Sixta, a college student who used to work at the Kansas City Royals Stadium Club. The couple parted their ways in 1990.

Limbaugh married Marta Fitgerald, an aerobics instructor, on May 27, 1994. As per reports, the acclaimed radio show host met her on the online service CompuServe. In 2004, Limbaugh announced on his radio show that he and his wife of ten years have decided to end their marriage. As per his spokesperson, Limbaugh decided it would be better to make an announcement than to have his listeners and friends find out through other mediums.
...
Limbaugh married his long-time girlfriend Kathryn Rogers in 2010, who remained by his side when he succumbed to cancer.
