Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

One of my childhood heroes has passed away and my feelings are going wildly between sadness and deep gratitude for the joy and entertainment he gave us in his many nonsense slapstick films. None great art, but with a lightness of heart, that made kids giggle.

He had a full life, with many many turns and adventures, Swimming in the Italian Olympic team, construction worker in the Amazonas
(!), lawyer, actor, singer, writer, inventor. He was 86 years old, and appeared in public until recently, always friendly and nice to his fans.

I never met him in person, but I had a friend who lived in Rome just across the street from Bud for a while. He told me he was always polite and happy to meet fans, and did not refuse to shake hands and talk a little, although most of the time he was chatting to them from his apartment window (An Italian thing apparently )

Bud Spencer, you were part of my growing up and even if I didn't know until today that this was actually your life's motto, you taught me to not take life too seriously: Futtetenne, roughly translated to "shit happens" (though "Ah, fuck it!" gets the tone a little better )

So I would like to say to you, what according to your family were your own very last words: Grazie!

He will be missed from those of us who met him through his spaghetti western movies, starring together with Terrence Hill. Those movies were genuine comedies that made me laugh so much when I was very young. I always wondered what happened to those actors. I guess, as their type of comedy was phased out, they also turn in doing other things.

Goodbye beloved memory of my childhood.

RIP SuperSheriff!

For us who stayed little boys at heart: (I chose the Italian clips, as the dialogue really isn't "importante" )

And this one! It really captures Bud's trademark grumpiness!

At least you can remember him fondly Most of my childhood heros are in jail/disgraced

I can't say I ever heard of him, but I've probably seen him somewhere.
Anyway, I'm 53 and laughing out loud at that gymnasium clip.
I may need to check Netflix for Spencer/Hill movies.

Ah, another childhood hero gone to eternally explore the great beyond... Bud Spencer, you have me many a laugh when I was a kid and still manage to do so today with your movies.

You have been an example to this grumpy heavy-set guy.

You will be missed.

Yeah, that would be Bud.

Thank you for everything mr Pedersoli, you made me laugh so many times.
