Sir Creep

George Wallace, 1960's Presidential wannabee when not busy with all his racist activities, 20 years ago (79). Also need to mention Marcellinus of Carthage (1605 years ago) -- a Christian martyr and saint who was secretary of state of the Western Roman Empire under Roman emperor Honorius and a close friend of Augustine of Hippo, as well as a correspondent of Saint Jerome's. Saint Augustine dedicated the first books of his landmark The City of God to Marcellinus in 413. I need to mention cuz I am sitting in Carthage.....Texas. Interestingly the city of Carthage, TX (founded 1847) was not named for the ancient Tunisian city, but rather for Carthage, MS, from whence a founder of the Texas city was born. So you would think the Mississippi version was named after the ancient Tunisian city -- but you would think wrongly. Carthage, MS (est. 1834) was named after Carthage, Tennessee (birthplace of Al Gores Sr/Jr), again because one of the city founders was from there. The origin of Carthage, TN (settled 1789, incorp 1804) is unknown but I will safely assume it was named after the Tunisian city. For those who may not know, we States who are United have a fair number of Carthage towns, with the Missouri version being the largest and most recognizable (pop. 14500). If someone says they are from Carthage you would assume Missouri without further info. Carthage, MO was in fact named after the ancient city of Carthage. SC

You may find it ironic that I had to look up 'twig' as a verb.

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to read that response from a DL professional like yourself? C'mon man....

HAHA that's not how it goes LOL but he's the Richard Haag of the radio industry for sure

Hand just got better.

Mike Pintek is on the clock. Whoever is waiting for the obit, fingers crossed.

"Health concerns" (I looked up a cached version). Mike Pintek just took a permanent leave of absence. SC

And here I sit in Carthage, TX -- birthplace of Tex Ritter and location of the Tex Ritter Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. John, of course, was his offspring. SC

Tommy Armour turned in his final scorecard 50 years ago (71).

Raymond 'Perry Mason/Ironside' Burr, still great tv shows till this day. 25 years ago (76)

Couple months old, but an update nonetheless on a recovering Mayor Doug Lachance of Rochester, NH (appeared on about 4 Cup entries). Looks like he's doing regular activities, many pounds lighter, mind. SC

Now that her daughter Kulsoom Nawaz has died, maybe she will follow. Like a Shamim vs Roberta (McCain) grief cage match.

Former state Sen. Chris Buttars, a lightning rod for controversy who adamantly opposed gay rights and championed drug offender treatment programs, died Monday at age 76. Buttars, a Republican from West Jordan, served in the Utah Senate for 10 years before abruptly retiring at the end of the 2011 legislative session. A lifelong diabetic, he cited his poor health and that of his wife, Helen, for stepping down. SC

Even though a name worthy of team Gris Gris, I'm not a Fan.

Wait till my conjoined twins drop over. When is their birthday?!! **hamster starts running in SirCs brain** (edit - Oct 28!!!)

Am I missing something with the 'points' system? Sean has a pair of Aces. If the cards don't mean anything, well.....taint much of a poker thingy. Right now no one even close to Sean. Clorox has a shot at a straight presumably. SC

QO for Kulsoom Nawaz Solo hit for Cancel My Appointments. Too bad no obits for Podermanski and Haag, or we could be in this thing. SC

Fashion blogger Kyrzayda Rodriguez. After nearly a year’s long battle against Stage 4 Stomach cancer, the Dominican writer behind the fashion blog Kyrzayda died Sunday, September 9th.People Magazine comes thru...she is in fact 40 [Scrabble deficit score: 49]SC

The fashion community is currently mourning the loss of beloved fashion and style blogger Kyrzayda Rodriguez. After nearly a year’s long battle against Stage 4 Stomach cancer, the Dominican writer behind the fashion blog Kyrzayda died Sunday, September 9th. I can't find anything with her age, but she appears under 40. This makes her a lovely Scrabble deficit candidate (score: 49) People Magazine comes thru...she is in fact 40. SC

Retired general Jannie Geldenhuys, a former chief of the then SA Defence Force (SADF), died on Monday, aged 83. He served as chief of what was South Africa’s national defence force prior to democracy and integration which saw the establishment of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF). SC
