It's been a while since I made an all-out Aspergian kind of list, so have this. The dates of birth of every DL50er. I'll tidy it up later, but there's more to come...

Would Abdullah the Butcher be last name “Butcher” or “the Butcher”? Please this is urgent.

Boss Hogg!!

One day into the annual trek to the Ramblin' Man Festival (which always has some hard living rockers of advanced years on the bill) I can report everyone looks healthy enough to be a bad pick. Generally having a good time but I'll steal myself to report anyone who looks a decent 2020 pick. To be fair to the organisers there's nobody more grizzled than Foreigner on the bill so they've not gone into the same territory as last year when they unearthed the living fossils who could - just about - claim to be Mott the Hoople.

I always felt a little shaky about his actually being retired.

James Garner became a space cowboy on this day 5 years ago, aged 86.

It annoys me too (primarily because actors dont tend to get hurt, its more a ballet/stuntwork crossover) but its a good reminder that, even in the UK where it relied on suspension of disbelief and a knowing wink, there were people idiotic enough to think Big Daddy was a legit athlete, and needing it pointed out to them.

Isn’t it what you risk from anal intercourse??

Come on you lot lighten up it is only supposed to be a bit of fun

Bernie Sanders refuses to pay his workers at least 15 dollars an hour! (They are averaging 13 dollars an hour since they are salaried and not paid for over-time. Part of HIS agenda is to increase the Federal minimum wage in the USA to that amount.)The man is a peach! The workers demand a liveable wage. Bye! Bye! Bernie! Socialism is a bitch when you yourself have to pay for it.

'Tis true, Frank McCourt turned into Ashes this day 10 years ago (78).

Walter Cronkite passed away 10 years ago at the age of 92. Nobody ever forgot his surprise guest appearance on As The World Turns.

It would be ironic if this was the truck.

Former Nigerian Police Affairs minister Ibrahim Lame has died at age 66. Yes, we have a Lame death to report on this morning. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/ex-police-affairs-minister-yakubu-lame-dies-in-abuja.html

His name sounded a bit like "Hairy Vadge Pie", and for that he'll always be remembered.

John Bishop After thinking of John Bishop no other fucker gets a look in.

Sheila Dikshit, a three-time Delhi chief minister from Congress, has died. She was 81. Yes, the name just invites commentary and I see she did garner some interest in 2018 deadpools. https://www.livemint.com/news/india/sheila-dikshit-critical-hospitalised-1563618665220.html

So an extra week?
