And we’re using US Central Time for all purposes, right? No matter where the celebrity is when they die?
Yep!
That doesn’t make sense. Are you going to change the date of death if the celeb dies on the other side of the international date line?

I was going to ask what stupid hippie parents cursed their child with the name Booboo, but then I looked on Wikipedia. I have a message for young Master Stewart: There’s nothing wrong with either Nils or Allen. There is much wrong with Booboo. You are not a small cartoon sidekick bear.

I have a favor to ask of posters. If your list is to be a themed one, please use the word theme in there somewhere when posting.
Things like “left handed women who are also brunettes” may be coincidence, or it may mean your list is to be themed. It would help to know for sure.
Just out of curiosity, did you accept “Jumping On The Bandwagon” as a theme? It’s okay if not.

It’s kind of like describing “celebrity” If you want it to be a theme, say so and I’ll accept it. But please, let me know.
Sure. What the heck. It’s a theme. 
Sorry, I don’t. I have noticed that he’s gained a lot of weight back – that can’t be healthy.
My aunt would be upset if he croaked. She’s been on his political team for years. Maybe, when I write her a thank you note for my Christmas gift I could find some way to ask about him.
