  • Jack Ramsay

    Jack Ramsay · 89

    died 10 years ago today
    February 21st, 1925 — April 27th, 2014

    In 1999, he was convicted of the attempted rape of a 14 year old Cree girl. Yeah, yeah - we know. That's the OTHER Jack Ramsay - the politician from Canada. But that was what we got when we looked him up, and we'll be damned if we're reading another 2 paragraphs on the Internet. Last night was 2 for 1 margarita night at Pepe's Palace, and we couldn't control ourselves. Massive hangover. So instead of some basketball guy, you get a Canadian rapist. Sorry. We'll do better next time.

  • Vicki Robinson

    died 24 years ago today
    — April 27th, 2000

    First she tried turning the beat around, then it was upside-down .... How about off, is that good?

    November 7th, 1922 — April 27th, 1999

    Ditto.

  • William Colby
