Alice's bucket list

Alice's Bucket List is trending again on Twitter. Why is this popping up again? Buying a bracelet and attending a candlelight vigil should be enough, right?

That's a bit cold, stitch.

I mean, the girl is 15.

 

I thought there was uncertainty over whether or not this was legit?

 

No way this is legit. It reads like the standard letter that dozens of teams get each season: "Little Timmy is just a little kid and he has some awful malady and might not live to the end of the season and all he wants is a Tim Tebow autograph. And maybe a game-worn jersey. Home jersey is better. We can't send you a picture of Little Timmy because his malady makes him unphotogenic. Please hurry, send that autograph FexEx if possible. But not to the hospital. And don't make it out to Little Timmy, just sign the name. That's his one wish!!1!"

 

If she has terminal cancer, why is she still getting treatment? Her website does not mention trending on Twitter as being part of her bucket list. Too bad a bunch of journalists are retweeting this.

 

I think she trended back in the summer, so presumably this can be crossed off her bucket list. But I still see periodic retweets. It's like a chain message...it never goes away.

 

It's big again this week. I noticed a few sports writers retweeting it today.

 

If I sign over all the money that's coming to me from an account that belonged to a dead prince in Nigeria, will she go away?

 

I think my Spidey sense kicked in when she tweeted about how Madalyn Murray O'Hair was trying to get the FCC to kick Touched By An Angel off the air.
