Wow Y-Dub I thought for a minute you got hoodwinked into posting an old obit. I'm sitting here saying to myself HEY Forrest Mars is in my Coincidental Deaths database! In fact it's Jr's dad! So I've gone two generations now with my death obsession. So here I bring you the entry for Forrest Mars (Sr.) and his coincidental death pairing -- two candy confectioners who died a week apart. Enjoy. SirC July 3, 1999 Forrest Mars, 95, Creator of the M & M and a Candy Empire Forrest Mars Sr., creator of the M & M, died Thursday at his home in Miami. He was 95 years old. In a final nod to Mr. Mars's lifelong desire for secrecy, a spokeswoman for his company, Mars Inc., refused to provide details yesterday. He routinely ended up on lists of the wealthiest Americans. The company he built, and turned over in 1973 to his sons, now sells some $20 billion worth of candy, snacks and pet food annually. Along with M & M's, Milky Way, Snickers, Three Musketeers and Skittles, the company, based in McLean, Va., owns the Combos, Kudos and Twix brands; Uncle Ben's rice, and Kal-Kan and Pedigree pet food. Forrest Mars, is credited with suggesting some ingredients for the candy. During World War II, he introduced a candy-coated chocolate that he named M & M's. He approached William F. R. Murrie, then the president of Hershey, and they agreed to become partners. Hence the M&M stands for ''Mars and Murrie.'' Mr. Mars ran Mars with a system of clear penalties and rewards. Employees were to keep their desktops neat and clean. Managers who failed to meet growth and profit targets were dismissed. To this day, employees who arrive on time all week qualify for a 10 percent bonus in their paychecks, while those who arrive late are docked 10 percent. Everyone, from the executive suite on down, punches a timeclock. ''He was legendary for his extreme temper, and his fanatical behavior,'' Ms. Brenner said in an interview. That temper and that behavior could be exhibited upon the discovery of a less than perfect Mars product. ''He would call up sales associates in the middle of the night if he found a packet of M & M's where the 'M' wasn't printed exactly in the middle of the candy, and he would order the candy recalled,'' Ms. Brenner said. July 4, 1999 Victor A. Bonomo, Maker Of Candy Bars, Dies at 100 Victor A. Bonomo, who created and marketed Bonomo's Turkish Taffy, the brittle candy bar whose wrapper instructed buyers to smack it and crack it into many edible pieces, died on June 26 at his home in Bal Harbour, Fla. He was 100. The candy, which first appeared as a nickel bar after World War II, became a favorite with the economy-minded. Unlike some of its competitors, which melted in your mouth, Turkish Taffy eroded slowly, and it was so chewy that a single bar could last through most of a double feature at the movies.

I wondered why I hadn't seen their adverts on TV for a while, seems to be mostly adverts for Match. Christian Mingle, and Farmers Only these days haha Farmer's Only, what an inbred wholly-American concept. I still think it HAS to be some kind of joke some billionaire is running every time I see one of those spots. SC

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle and Hall of Famer Warren Sapp was recovering Thursday from what a charter boat company called an epic battle with a shark. Sapp was catching lobster off the Florida Keys Wednesday. Charter captain Jack Carlson said while the NFL great was grabbing a lobster, the shark was grabbing his left forearm, near the elbow. SC

Nope, that was Cedric Sharpley - Benn literally was in the band for a few months in 1978. Yessir I realized that after I posted but our internet failed on our logging unit (oil field work trailer) and I was without any internet for 24 hours or more. THE HUMANITY!

From the BBC news front page.... His name has not been officially released but he is being named locally as David Ali Sonboly. He has also been referred to as Ali David Sonboly, or David S. I won't bother to cut and paste further relevant info from the article but it is onviiys neither you nor the others bogeyed to open the provided link. SC

The BBC has unilaterally chosen not to report the Munich attacker’s full name, in what appears to be an attempt to scrub any Halibut or Islamic heritage link to its coverage of the incident. Most sources at this point suggest that Ali David Sonboly – the Munich attacker who targeted children and killed nine yesterday – is not connected to radical Islam, but the BBC has gone to extraordinary lengths to try to keep any reference to his heritage out of its coverage, opting to name him only as “David Sonboly". Sir Creep understands it's a Brietbart link, but still....wow. Nice news organization you got there. SC http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/07/23/bbc-scrubs-Halibut-name-ali-munich-killer-article/

Who and who? Oh sorry mate they're not B-b-b-b-brriiiiiiiiiiiiiitish on BBC 3. Smfh you and Handrejka and Toast and Bibliogryphon would do well to investigate the world around you. I don't care about the cunt but if you don't know who Jay Mohr is your head is lodged. I guess though you've given Sir Creep a free pass to say 'who' at some nationally heroic UK personality gits next time you post them. By signing on to this ignorant post you've avowed your personal ignorance. Well played. SC PS watch one of the great movies Bamboozled you'll figure out which one is Mohr. -
Lewie Steinberg was the original bass player (on Green Onion)!for Booker T. and the MGs. He left the MGs in 1965 to be replaced by Donald "Duck" Dunn.

Who Do You Think Will Win The Democrat And Republican Nominations?
Sir Creep replied to Bibliogryphon's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Warren isn't going to tag along with this slug. She's got an actual head on her shoulders and someone I would like to see in 4 years. She stayed outta the fray due to the anointing of Hillary which was obvious. She's Presidential material not VP remora. The whole point of VP is to lock down some votes the primary candidate may miss. Hillary could use some reassurance in that MD/VA/NC region and I think either of the senators from Virginia would be a perfect fit. Tim Kaine's name is out there, though if it were me I'd lean toward Warner, so I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for Tim Kaine as her most logical pick of the names that are out there. SirC Well how about those apples? SC -
