The last line of that obit is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Oh, we should totally do it. If for no other reason than it would be highly amusing to all of us.
That would be totally fun, trying to guess who was who from taglines and speech patterns.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
with a multi-faceted history as a pleasure-seeking heroin addict, hell-raising alcoholic, flamboyant waster and a reckless and extravagant host of homosexual orgies.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Frock coats and lederhosen and tall hats and full drag with fishnets!
Although it was clearly hazardous and occasionally lethal to be one of his friends, I can't help feeling that this world is diminished without him in it. And it's possibly that my entire life has been retroactively diminished by not knowing he ever existed until after he didn't anymore.

Dude, I've been in fandom for a while now. I am a member of the Most Ancient and Venerable Order of Sir Wanks-a-Lot. Our armor is made of teflon and we crown ourselves with beanies. Our honorary weapons are shiny laptops. We have etchings. We would like to show you them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The great-great-grandson of Prince Otto, Germany's Iron Chancellor and architect of the modern German state, the young von Bismarck showed early promise as a brilliant scholar, but led an exotic life of gilded aimlessness that attracted the attention of the gossip columns from the moment he arrived in Oxford in 1983 and hosted a dinner at which the severed heads of two pigs were placed at either end of the table.
I didn't think Paris Hilton could seem even more lame.

See what happens when your country has low standards for celebrity? If only we demanded more of our wealthy heirs and heiresses, we could have celebrities like von Bismarck.

While von Bismarck was not arrested, he was questioned as a witness and there were those who wondered - not, perhaps, without cause - whether he might be the victim of a family curse.
Quite the curse -- party like a lunatic and people around you die. Quite mysterious and sinister to be sure.
