TQR 14,396 Posted February 21, 2018 By the way, over 200 pages of excellent one-line memorials, and yet this thread hasn't been pinned? How odd. Yes, that is a suggestion. Anyway, on with the dead people...Malcolm became an X-human rights activist at the age of 39, when he was shot 53 years ago today in an incident in which, for legal reasons, one cannot confirm nor deny the involvement of current Deathlist candidate Louis Farrakhan. Reminds me of someone... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently dovemeat was pricey and it was (still is, although I believe Trump is attempting to roll back the legislation) illegal to hunt mourning birds in the US without a permit.
