Good Friday is not.

I laughed, I cried, I learned, and cursed the heavens.
But thank you for your service, tell them about the Meritorious Service Cross, and mention Undertoad's name, at the VA Hospital.

Today is April 17.

The best friend I'll ever have would've been 47 today.

World Hemophilia Day is today.

1397 – Geoffrey Chaucer tells The Canterbury Tales for the first time at the court of Richard II.

1907 – The Ellis Island immigration center processes 11,747 people, more than on any other day.

1949 – At midnight 26 Irish counties officially leave the British Commonwealth. A 21-gun salute on O'Connell Bridge, Dublin, ushers in the Republic of Ireland.

1961 – Bay of Pigs Invasion: A group of Cuban exiles financed and trained by the CIA lands at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba with the aim of ousting Fidel Castro.

1969 – Sirhan Sirhan is convicted of assassinating Robert F. Kennedy.

2013 – An explosion at a fertilizer plant in the city of West, Texas, kills 15 people and injures 160 others. [video link]

1837 – J. P. Morgan, 1918 – William Holden, 1923 – Harry Reasoner, 1934 – Don Kirshner♪ ♫, 1940 – Billy Fury♪ ♫, 1948 – Jan Hammer♪ ♫, 1959 – Sean Bean, 1964 – Maynard James Keenan♪ ♫(<--just for you, Jim), 1970 - My friend John, 1972 – Jennifer Garner, 1974 – Victoria Beckham♪ ♫, 1985 – Rooney Mara

Ima try something new. I don't know how I'm gonna pick the year each time, but this time it's gonna be 1970, in honor of my buddy John, who took me into his home when no one else wanted ol' Gravdigr around. For no reason.

April 17, 1970

The number one song in the U.S. was "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding.

The number one song in the U.K. was "Wand'rin' Star" by Lee Marvin.

The number one movie in the U.S. was "2001: A Space Odyssey" directed by Stanley Kubrick, and starring Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, and Douglas Rain as the voice of the HAL 9000.

The number one movie in the U.K. was "Patton" starring George C. Scott.

BigV · 04-17-2017, 02:35 PM

1970 was a good year. I approve!

Gravdigr · 04-17-2017, 02:38 PM

Anybody have any suggestions what to do differently? In addition to? Instead of? Add this? Get rid of that?

I mean, you can just re-read the thread for the same ol'...

Gravdigr · 04-17-2017, 02:40 PM

I'd prolly change the order up if I kept those new bits...

Anything?

Bueller?

glatt · 04-17-2017, 02:50 PM

That video of the fertilizer plant explosion gets me every time. It's the kid in the back, freaking out, saying "I can't hear. I can't hear."

I think it's the father in me. I would feel so bad if I drove my kids to a location that blew their eardrums out.

I wonder if the kid ever recovered?
