That would have been the most celebrity-laden flight ever. Musically it has to be Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. As the Beechcraft Bonanza plummeted to the ground, Buddy Holly wondered how bad it could get, then he remembered that The Big Bopper was sitting behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) was booked on one of the 9/11 planes but missed it because his agent told him the wrong check-in time. David Angel, one of the creators of Frasier, was aboard - which is why in the final episode Niles and Daphne's baby is called 'David'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Bartender Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Kurt Cobain was born and brought up in Aberdeen. (Nirvana : "a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self". Sounds like an afternoon at Pittodrie right enough). Ok, it was Aberdeen, Washington State, USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun Fact : The 1967 Washington Whips were some soccer team albeit of the DC variety. The subsequent season (their last) they fielded the only one-armed player in NASL history.

House Bartender Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 According to the Glasgow Herald, yesterday was the anniversary (in 1872) of the USA patent for the first doughring cutter by one John Blondel - a sea Captain. Allegedly he "invented the hole" (sic), so he could slip the doughnut over the handle of his ship's wheel while snacking and steering. cue Kenneth WIlliams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
