Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009

[caddyman]

Like him or loathe him, how many events, other than the outbreak of World War 3 would freeze the entire bloody intarweb as have the partially confirmed reports of the death of Michael Jackson.

I was in the pub celebrating coming second in the quiz when I heard, unlike that day in 1963 when I got grass stains on my suit from lying on a wet area on a grassy knoll. Whatever your view of the man's talent, style or general oddness in later years, he was a giant of the pop music industry and 50 is no age to die.


Michael Jackson as he should be remembered.

So is that going to stop the 50 nights at the 02 going ahead?

More seriously, he was one of the greats, and at a time when stars really were big.

Did you just confess to shooting Kennedy?

I wouldn't take him too seriously, the big nerk was four at the time. Bryan, I mean, not Kennedy.

And that puts him above suspicion ? A Four year old can pull a a trigger...

Everyone knows that Elvis shot Kennedy. Elvis A Presley = E Slay Evil Pres. He had no alibi, had army training, and worked for "Colonel" Tom Parker, formerly Major Tom Parker, who was actually the first man in space as part of Eisenhower's secret space program back when Eisenhower was Supreme Head NATO. Eisenhower's space program was based on Nazi technology gained by Wild Bill Donovan's OSS in exchange for arranging a sort of uber-witness-protection for high ranking Nazi Officers, who after surgery took the place of a Holywood star. That is why Kennedy had to die - he found out he was boiking Der Furher!

I was lying in the bath half asleep this morning and thought I'd misheard.

You sleep in a bath? You upset Amy or something? ;o)

I was lying in bed and thought I'd misheard!

My thought for the day yesterday was that I could remember a time BB - before Beatles. AND my daughter had Michael Jackson on her Dead Pool!

She hasgot off to a good start this year. I only had one last year
