George Deukmejian, former California governor (1983-1991)

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 22:55 (eight years ago)

A strange nonentity from this distance. Governor in my high school into undergrad years, not as overtly hateful as Wilson was later, at least.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 22:58 (eight years ago)

He became governor when I was like 5 so he is burned on my brain as like "the first governor".

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 22:59 (eight years ago)

Ha, mine was Jerry Brown...so nothing changes!

Matt Marks, one of the musicians in Alarm Will Sound, passed away yesterday. I don't really listen to that type of music much so am not really sure what the best rolling thread to post this to would be.

"his father was a Norwegian soldier who had travelled to Scotland in 1940 as part of the Free Norwegian Forces, following the Nazi occupation of Norway"

I blame Hitler myself!

calzino, Saturday, 12 May 2018 21:47 (eight years ago)

He was mentioned on the serial killer thread, with the fact the the wiki entry on him was well-written, and damned if I didn't read the entire thing at work.

Poor Margot. RIP :(

Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Monday, 14 May 2018 17:41 (eight years ago)

I was at a Toronto comic-con in the 00s and they had Kidder and Erica Durance (the Smallville Lois) next to each other for autographs, and all the guys were queuing for Durance instead of Kidder, and that’s when I realised nerds were dead to me now

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 14 May 2018 17:57 (eight years ago)

Everyone knows Reeve = Superman but it’s just as true for Kidder

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 14 May 2018 17:58 (eight years ago)

argh rip margot, you and christopher reeve were the great screwball comedians that made those movies work.
