Dick Clark died today. We can't have a new year without him, so looks like we're on schedule for the world ending this December.

Dick Clark died in 1978. That thing they trot out every new years is a leftover animatronic prop from the movie
The Black Hole.
Must have finally broken.

Ah, that's where you're mistaken. Dick Clark's body failed in 1978, but his brain was transplanted into the animatronic body at that point. There was a significant mechanical failure in 2004, and despite several attempts to overhaul the system the hydraulics never worked properly after that point. This morning when they took him out of storage for his monthly fluid flushing, they discovered a leak in the feeding tank for the brain.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, the Casey Casem Bot never had any meat bits, they just used a gypsy curse to steal his voice and put it in the robot. I mean, I suppose someone could teach Casey to learn to love those less eloquent than himself, thus breaking the curse, but that doesn't seem too likely.
Dicky C's heart's known to let the beat.......drop!
I thought they just had Dick Clark on strings, like a marionette.
Technology is amazing.
There's no need to worry.
The Tupac hologram was obviously just a trial run. :horrormirth:
