Robin Williams was a genius. Many genius commit suicide. Is it that they think too much, or know too much? Or know that we are given life, just to die? Great actor, and comedian. Will miss him. That is all.

Quote from: Hunter S. Thompson on August 12, 2014, 01:01:02 AM
Football Season Is Over

No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt.



And so it goes.

Today's Highlight in History:

On August 12, 1939, the classic MGM movie musical "The Wizard of Oz," starring Judy Garland, had its world premiere at the Strand Theater in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, three days before opening in Hollywood. (Oconomowoc was apparently chosen to test the film's appeal to Middle Americans.)
