When it's no April Fool's joke

[Drip]

I am glad we're saving April 4 for its own topic.

And rightfully so considering that was the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. died. Here is an interesting story on his assassination.

Sad that he did not live to see a nationwide health care bill.

Boom, something like that wasn't even in the picture in '68. You think this country is ****ed up now? 1968 was definitely an awakening period.

With a much better soundtrack.

William Henry Harrison could have used better health care before dying on April 4, 1841.

Also could have used a winter coat but he did leave us with a catchy campaign slogan.

Lyrically, yeah. Musically, that's debatable.

April Fool's gone awry:

still dead

 

[ThatGuy]

How sad. They say death comes in 3's. I just hope the Pillsbury Dough boy is not next.

NOOO!

April? "Cruelest month." TS Eliot, died January 1965

So you're saying we missed observing the 45th anniversary? God, what a bunch of heartless curs we are. Drip, where were you when we needed you to commemorate a completely irrelevant anniversary?

J. Alfred Prufrock weeps.

It's sort of bull**** that nobody has mentioned tomorrow's big 361st anniversary:

1649 - John Winthrop, 1st governor Mass Bay Colony, dies at 61

We wouldn't have a Cheers bar without this guy. Or the theme song.

Not everybody knew his name.

I think we all remember where we were when we heard about Chiang Kai-shek, who died on April 5, 1975. It interrupted my learning of the alphabet, and I have never recovered.

This thread gets ever more depressing.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Chiang Kai-shek is an alphabet unto itself.

This is no joking matter! Now take it to PMs (but don't use google.cn to find each other) and have a blessed Kuomintang Day.

With great sadness we mark the passing of Henry Ford. Ford, died April 7, 1947. If only Heny had been around for the Matt Millen era, it would have never lasted so long.

You don't need me. You do a good job of being irrelevant. My best to you and yours.

Partially true... The old man was reluctant to change; it's why the step from the Model T to the Model A lasted so long.
We might not have had Matt Millen, but Russ Thomas would have been running the team 10 years after his death.

Nah - they would have kept Joe Schmidt in place.
