Fidel died.
Nooooooooooo
Damn....I'll be in Cuba next month, would have gone to Havana for that.
:(
So long you piper, you prisoner and shine.
Wait....nothing on my news feeds.
Just rumours so far......
He finally kicked it for real or is this like the other times where he's just hanging out smoking cigars where no one with a camera can see him?
I've heard it's a rumour based on the death of a Kenyan politician with a similar name :lol:
Not sure though.
So Spellus our version of Perez Hilton? Stay tuned!
Reuters don't have this yet.
Hopefully just a social media spoof/hoax.

Kenyan, Cuban, Spellus isn't the guy to worry about such things.
Until I see it on American lamestream media, El Caballo rides on, dammit.

I think dictators deserve different treatment from elected leaders.

I think the agreement is no shitting in an RIP thread.
Maybe that's splitting hairs, maybe it's not.
Quick trivia:

I honestly don't understand that mindset. I couldn't fathom dancing on the graves of Carter, Clinton, or Obama when they pass.
Probably some very intelligent individual.
Sounds like Grab On's prose, but I'll guess Speesh for triple irony effect.

No, not at all.

Interestingly, all three of those were democratically elected leaders...
Communism is too mainstream for QQ.
Whatever.
Castro's alive, Thatcher's still dead. :)

So. Communist scum.
Queequeeg is a Communist?!!?
Fidel is a scum bag, not Q.
Ok, Fidel is Commie scum, and Spellus isn't a commie, but it doesn't logically follow that Spellus can't still be scum.

Wonder how many people get that.
Presumably old people who haven't lost their memory or young people who would be up for watching things like that, from before they were born.
It's a rather well-known bit/meme.
Among the groups that I mentioned yes. :)
