We could get Rick Dempsey for Seedy and tell him to come back for just $100

Also, Jerry Lawler, still being a creepy horndog.

My friend's husband bought her a personalized birthday greeting  video from Jake "the Snake" Roberts.

Isn't he one of the guys, like Scott Hall/Razor Ramon who got their life back on track with the help of Diamond Dallas Page's Yoga School?

Yup. Since I know you are at least mildly interested in wrestling and in wrestling lore, I'd recommend the documentary the Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's pretty good.

Dick van dyke is alive?

Most believable English accent ever

Yet born and raised in Danville, IL, on the Indiana border three hours south of Chicago.

We are talking about his cockney accent that is generally mocked and that he has apologised for?

That was supposed to be the joke, yes.

He has a fairly hick American accent normally, which I was mocking. Basically, his accents - all of them - deserve mocking.

Dick van Dyke was a star far more than he was an actor.  Still, his physical humor skills were right up there with the best.

he was kind of the American John Cleese.

I greatly enjoyed his silly accent in Mary Poppins; and we should remember that it fitted perfectly with the rest of the movie which wasn't realistic either. For many years I assumed that his choice of that accent was deliberate; ie a cartoon cockney to fit in with the cartoonish feel of a lot of the rest of the film.

When I was a kid I thought that's what London was actually like.
Sans cartoon penguins et al.
