Clint, Man with No Name, Eastwood passed away!
« on: June 20, 2017, 10:12:20 AM »
According to CNN, Clint passed way last night in his Brentwood home at 87 years.  His legacy is huge:  His Westerns, his Dirty Harry movies, and a lot of others...  He will be missed.

Apparently that rumor has been floating around for several months at least, but it has been debunked (so far).  Of course we're all heading towards the end of our trails, but Clint's trail still seems to be still going at this point.

I'm glad it's fake news. I hope Clint stays with us for a number of years.

It was on CNN International yesterday.  I was aware of the BS reports last month.

Maybe Clint hadn't heard the rumor that he had passed? Or, he could be the start of the Zombiepocolyse...

Hmmm.  You'd think this would be in more news sources...

That isn't actually CNN (the domain is registered in Singapore), and all the celebrity tweets they show at the bottom are fake. This appears to be a well orchestrated hoax. Probably 4chan.

Don't feel bad if you fell for it, as it seems to have fooled a lot of people!

One of the more bizarre occurrences, in my journey....

Was when my wife received several sympathy & condolences for my apparent demise  ???

Seems some rather more eccentric (thinking) geriatric members of the Sons of Union Veterans (Grand Army of the Republic)
( of which I am not a member ) construed and Idea I had cross the river  ???

What in fact I had done, was help plan the reburial of an honored local real GAR Veteran, to his home town cemetery.
Local News carried it...and the " Gentlemen " apparently were confused  :o

I get sent these death notices from time to time. For example, 'Anthony Hopkins is dead.' I clicked on one the first time and my computer froze. I got a message saying 'contact us to fix the problem.' Needless to say, I didn't. I rebooted my laptop.
