Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Do we presume no one else can or does read the news elsewhere?? Why is it, when some one of some notoriety, Hollywood, Political, Music .... whatever, invariably some one just has to post it too the Saloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 ???Can say the same about reading the calendar - do we presume that no one knows when Decoration Day is? Or Independence Day? Or Armistice Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I was quite happy when no one posted certain things in the Saloon and let their sorry a**es pass without mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that when someone well known passes, it gets mentioned here. I might miss it otherwise, since I don't consistently watch the nightly news, and I might not see it in my other online news travels. What's more, it allows us the opportunity to discuss the person, our likes and dislikes, and generally connect in a social manner. It would be no different than if I had been having a cup of coffee with my brother today and casually mentioned "I saw Peggy Lipton passed. I remember watching The Mod Squad as a kid. You used to really like that show didn't you?" It allows us to be the social animals we are, to strike up conversation, and find things in common. I'm not understanding what the downside might be.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Well, I liked Peggy Lipton in Mod Squad but I hadn't heard about her passing until I read THIS thread. After reading THIS thread, I went back and checked out the other threads in the Saloon and saw her special thread. EDIT: when the day comes that certain political figures pass on, there will be 1/2 dozen threads either celebrating or sharing condolences. Its just the way we are. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Some members here don't like joke threads. Some don't like daily news threads. Some don't like off-topic banter.
