Neil Armstrong has died. Rest in peace.

MasterCaneman -> RE: RIP Neil (8/27/2013 6:34:49 AM)
He died a couple of months ago, man.

jlf1961 -> RE: RIP Neil (8/27/2013 6:36:31 AM)
According to ABC news he just died, he had surgery a couple of weeks ago. Neil Armstrong Dead; Apollo 11 Astronaut Was First on Moon Aug. 25, 2012

I was just going to point out he died on August 25th of 2012...last year Jeff.....ooop's

Yeah... it's currently 2013. If it's any consolation to you, I've forgotten the year myself upon occasion. Most recently was a few days ago when eating some pineapple and I noticed the expatriation date was May of 2014. I had a few moments of AHHH!!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!!! I'M GONNA SUE THAT STORE!!!! Before I remembered that 2014 was still a few months away. On the plus side it was kind of cool to realize that I was a year younger than I thought I was.

How quickly a year goes.

DaddySatyr -> RE: RIP Neil (8/27/2013 6:51:29 AM)
There's a few people, where if I remember that they are dead, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I'm not saying Neil's one of them but there are examples. Maybe the OP was just "enjoying some tender memories"?

I hate when when the media do these fillers...how about something more newsworthy like the sex trafficking or the bust up of a local gang?

My biggest peeve of all is for a week, or more, following someone's death not only do we have to hear about it, but also hear interviews from other people regarding the death. Day 1- so and so died Day 2- how so and so feels about the death of so and so Day 3- they believe so and so died from this or that, more to follow Day 4- how so and so feels about so and so dying from possibly this or that Day 5- recap of the past four days Day 6- it has been confirmed that so and so died from this Day 7- how so and so feels about it being confirmed that so and so died from this Then, a year later, a recap. I'm all for the original reporting, but to drag it out seems a bit ridiculous. Does anybody find it newsworthy to hear what celebrities think about the deceased and/or the passing of?

Where you going to die before or after you sued?

jlf1961 -> RE: RIP Neil (8/27/2013 10:48:28 AM)
Considering the issues I have been dealing with for the last year, I am not surprised I missed it, as did the individual who posted it on facebook.

ShaharThorne -> RE: RIP Neil (8/28/2013 6:21:32 AM)
I told the guy off on FB for posting it. Told him it was like provoking a ghost...you're in for some strange shit.

HarryVanWinkle -> RE: RIP Neil (8/28/2013 2:36:13 PM)
He died the same week Lance Armstrong was banned and had his Tour de France titles stripped. It was a bad week for the Armstrongs.

Holy Fuck!!!! Is this guy STILL dead????

PeonForHer -> RE: RIP Neil (8/28/2013 5:22:43 PM)
I shall miss his music and that growly-voiced singing, recognisable in an instant. :-(
