When Reagan died I guessed that from the radio playing from his old speeches. It was the same with MJ when I turned on the television and they were playing Thriller on the evening news. However with Billy Mays, I learned the old fashioned way through a CNN email alert.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-74096479599690854292009-06-29T08:01:02.504-04:002009-06-29T08:01:02.504-04:00It was not a good week last week for the celebrity...It was not a good week last week for the celebrity world but seeing as i have no truck in that race I am simply willing for them to sleep peacefully in the houses of their ancestors and ignore the foolishness of the living that won't let the families grieve in their own way in peace.<br /><br />BUT WAIT...see ya later Billy Mays.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-70551199410322770132009-06-29T07:06:50.539-04:002009-06-29T07:06:50.539-04:00As much as it pains me to write this yet again...B...As much as it pains me to write this yet again...Bone's funny. :-)Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-70768377050119643352009-06-28T21:26:01.403-04:002009-06-28T21:26:01.403-04:00I do like some of MJ's music.

So all of us rushed home, washed up, and met at a Chinese food (yeah we were desperate) up in Redmond, the next town. We learnt about his death while munching on Chow Fun and what not. We spoke about him for 2 minutes and went right back on food. Oh yeah, we were so hungry.The Real Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226727195920798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-79599132952286880792009-06-28T18:56:40.121-04:002009-06-28T18:56:40.121-04:00I came along just a bit late for the Farrah poster...I came along just a bit late for the Farrah poster, unfortunately.<br /><br />In a way, it was hard for me to believe than this would parallel Elvis' death, but it did.<br /><br /><i>If I disappear for a few days or few weeks, don’t worry, I’ll be back.</i><br /><br />Wow, I wasn't expecting you to end with a Mark Sanford quote.

I wasn't the biggest Michael Jackson...Hi Sage!<br /><br />I wasn't the biggest Michael Jackson fan, but there's a memory of my childhood that I love: saturday afternoons watching the Jackson Five cartoons on the TV. And the song 'ABC'. He was cute as a little boy.<br /><br />Another nice memory of my early childhood: watching 'Charlie's Angels' on the TV. All the guys were in love with Farrah. She was a very sweet lady.<br /><br />To my shame, I have to say I haven't heard about Ed McMahon (but I googled him and now I know).<br /><br />Have fun while you're out! We'll be waiting! ;)Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-86420186551961885222009-06-27T16:55:08.048-04:002009-06-27T16:55:08.048-04:00Sage: I agree with your comment about Michael Jack...Sage: I agree with your comment about Michael Jackson's death usurping Farrah Fawcett.
