Kenosha Shootings

[Andrea B]

NBC assures us that it was a "Civil Rights Rally"

[Doctor Phibes]

Oh Christ, I really hope it wasn't a radioactive spider. I have no wish to see that guy in Spandex.

We had a poster in the early days of WTF (or was it here?) that faked his own death and claimed it was a bit from a brown recluse that did him in.

I've frequently thought about faking my own death. I've had a number of offers of help, which I suspect were all too real.

Didn't we have someone in the Old Coffee Room that actually did die from a bite he got while gardening? Are we talking about the same person, I vaguely recall my reference being a real thing. I'm sure if you say the name I'll say THATS HIM.

[Horace]

He had two first names as I recall. I mean his last name was a typical first name. But I don't remember what the two names are.

[Doctor Phibes]

John Henry IIRC.

[jon-nyc]

I can’t prove he was faking it but I’d bet real money on it. For a while I kept checking the SSA death records and he never showed up. Nor were there any stories in California about brown recluse deaths.

[jon-nyc]

John something. Henry doesn’t sound right

[Horace]

maybe andrew.

[Doctor Phibes]

Maybe I'm getting mixed up with the song.

Yes, I think that was it. I wonder if he was related to Prince Andrew.

[jon-nyc]

Yes. John Andrew.

[89th]

THATS HIM

[Horace]

Wasn't he Rick whatshisname's sock? Zimmer or something? Some forumite claimed to know him in real life and I think it was Rick Zimmer.

[Horace]

I wonder if we'll be treated to a creative and captivating demise story for AndreaB someday.

[jodi]

I remember wondering if John Andrew was Rick Zimmer’s sock. I think i even asked him, and I decided that he wasn’t. That was a long time ago. https://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/1598373/pianoworksatl.html
