President Kennedy Injured in Dallas?

I would be really worried if I thought conservative america had any chance of returning to power in the next, like, 100 years

I guess in the context of civil rights that one doesnt make much sense

We're never going to make it to the moon now.

Now we'll never get to the moon :(

i hear his brother teddy is a real up and comer

What are you even talking about, Deej? Just go back to that stupid ILM hype thread about the "Beatles" or whatever

jazzist

Easy for you people to make jokes when you're allowed to eat at Woolworth's and stuff

i hear his brother teddy is a real up and comer

Yeah, but the way he got to the Senate still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. LOL Benjamin Smith.

Nostradamus predicted this, you know! Roof! And a ruined man! (the rest is unimportant poetry)

The ancient work will be accomplished,
And from the roof evil ruin will fall on the great man:
They will accuse an innocent, being dead, of the deed:
The guilty one is hidden in the misty copse.
(Century 6, Quatrain 37)

think the coup in Iraq might have anything to do with this?

I just got that email too, stan. Also included this one:

"The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt.
An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition.
According to the prediction, another falls at night time."

Who's the other guy here?

these are crazy times, dude. could be any public figure.

not to sound like a total geek but does anyone have any idea if this is going to affect the space program?

guys this is no time for oneupmanship

Now they're saying a Dallas policeman was shot. What the hell is going on down there?

OMG WTF in today's paper!

Just in case anyone forgets: the number one songs on the US and UK charts today:

US: I’m Leaving It Up To You - Dale & Grace
UK: You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry & The Pacemakers

ok guys you didn't hear it from me but I think some buddies of mine are going to be stuck in indochina for a little longer than planned

i guess dale & grace have earned their immortality, but in a sad way.

that's just the scuttlebutt out here a little bit south of Chocolate City if you get my meaning

If the rumors I hear about Kennedy are anywhere close to true, there is going to wind up being some kind of strip club involved in all this

"happy birthday mister president"

;_;

I honestly find it hard to believe that such a beloved holder of the highest office in the country would possibly mortgage his career and his party's future on some kind of closed door sex scandal.

Well I did get some good news today... I just got hired by General Dynamics to work on the TFX project. Maybe something good will finally come out of that information science degree after all.

We have this American high school kid, Oliver, staying at our place as an exchange student. He's totally hysterical about this whole assassination thing, you should all the weird-ass loony theories he's coming up with. He says that when he gets back to the States he's gonna "convince them all of the truth!". I think he's lucky if he manages to convince the neighbour's dog.

The print setter at work just told everyone some American president got shot, and something about aboriginal kids no longer being kidnapped by the government. Most of the people here don't know what America or aborigines is. If only we had a worldwide electronic information resource.

ok i was watching tv and that negro what's his name, muhammad x, is all like "lol you get what you pay for" or something did anyone else see this?

c'mon dude, he is one of the "good ones"

amateurist the point of this thread is to sound like you would've back in 1963

All I saw when I went to that page was a giant penis.

yeah they've locked it now, after the whole Vincent Price 'I AM A TOASTER' meme was all through it

ok, i don't know if this is inappropriate but was anyone else thinking what i was thinking...

John Kennedy has changed his relationship status to "single".

?!?!

Jacqueline Onassis has removed "Dallas" from her interests.

Can someone ask the mods to update the thread title now he's been declared dead?

why so many?

Dallas has a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently, he is in fact a Communist.

Since when did the media start adding middle names to these guys? They never did that with Charlie Starkweather. Probably just a trend.

John Wilkes Booth!

Okay him. But at least they gave it a rest for Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz.

But really. I can't even believe that we're talking about the president of the United States dying today.

xxp What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

And Aldous Huxley! ZOMGWTF!

Flags at half-mast (half-staff?) here in Little Rock. Can't stop watching the news on TV. Probably going to be like this through the weekend.

Imagine if channels always ran news nonstop like this. That'd be so cool.

i can't help but feel this is some kind of cosmic justice for the stolen election of 1960. chickens be comin' home to roost, is it not so?

There's a good side to this though, because one day you'll have a mad republican president who invades all sorts of countries and can't manage the economy and is shit, and he'll be assassinated too. Clouds and silver linings and all that.

too soon

:(

Hey guys. Just got back from Frankfurt. I saw the most amazing group of gay English boys play that rock and roll. I told them they would be a smash in America. (Of course, I was being selfish because I want to see them closer to home, lol.)

oops, wrong thread
