InAndOut
In honor of the day my mother passed and 8lb kidney stone…
I got this from http://mythstory.net/
IN!
- August 30, 580: Mohammed, the famed prophet, founder of Islam, and Right Wing blogger “slow news day” target. Fortunately, he was born 1,835 years before the invention of the “Sears Baby Portrait,” so no one was stoned that day for blasphemy.
- August 30th, 1894: Bob Jones, founder of Bob Jones University, born to a mother whom he loved, but not as much as those cultist, pagan Catholics love their Virgin Mary.
- August 30, 1930: Warren Buffett, American Businessman, philanthropist, and Right Wing blogger “slow news day” target. Even as a baby, he was most-popularly known – incorrectly - as “Jimmy Buffet’s cousin,” even though Jimmy Buffet would not be born for another 16 years.
- August 30th, 1943: R. Crumb, cartoonist of big-breasted women with chunky legs, born in Philadelphia. Hopefully, he will not be joined at his birthday by any fans of his work, because even he finds them a little too creepy.
OUT!
- August 30, 2003: Charles Bronson, tough guy actor, proves somewhat untough and dies at age 81; surviving mustache chides press over “Death Wish” headlines. Best-known for one very violent movie.
- August 30th, 1970: Abraham Zapruder dies at age 65. He was the president of Jennifer Juniors, a manufacturer of ladies’ garments. Best known for one very violent movie.
- August 30, 1930: William Howard Taft, 27th U.S. President who later served on the Supreme Court, dies at age 73. While it is a sad day, many observe that Taft had finally found a diet that works!
- August 30th, 30 BC: Cleopatra commits suicide, with bite from asp (but you knew that if you’ve ever done a New York Times crossword). Heavy use of eyeliner coupled with early death at own hand, plus name “Cleopatra,” suggests that she may have been the first ever “Goth.”
