Quote from: Josephus on December 07, 2024, 11:42:50 AMLoved his Crimson lyrics when I was a teenager.

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Jos, there's a 10 minute radio item about him here, from the point 20min onwards:

I wonder what he passed from.  65 is old but not that old.  No cause of death was announced.

Anyways - an all-time great at the game.

Wait - sounds like pneumonia.

Is there some viral pneumonia going around?  My youngest kid missed a couple weeks of school with pneumonia.  One of my nephews (one of the Downs twins) just got out of hospital from pneumonia.

Yes, it has hit Vancouver quite hard. I hope your boy fully recovers.  One of the things to think about his getting him assessed.  Even though he is symptom free now, there can be lasting damage that can be mitigated with breathing exercises.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It's a Simpsons reference.  When Springfield builds a statue of Jimmy Carter with the plaque reading 'Malaise Forever', the crowd erupts into a riot, with a character shouting 'He's history's greatest monster!'.

Saw quite a few comments online saying he was one of the few really decent humans to become POTUS. Though I guess you could argue that it makes you uniquely unfit for that office. :P

Some Des Moines Register dude on NPR said Jimmy's caucus victory here in 76 was what made the Iowa caucus a big deal, which I didn't know.  Figured it had always been a thing.

Shelf: triggered.
