^You freaked me out! LOL! For a second there I actually wondered if Johnny Rotten had died.

[BillySmartsC]

FFS I can't believe I made the error. Good ole Johnny is still alive I'm glad to say!

I hereby resign from this thread.

Ms Zeppelin, take the reins and do the Bob Hope link.

[johnny]

BillySmart, come back. We all screw it up once in awhile. it just means you're playing honestly.

Slightly OT, but the OP who started this great game, Ooggie Blog, passed away about a year or two after a short battle with cancer. I believe she had 4 kids and few came on here and eulogized their mom.

One of them was looking for Radiojane because on her siggie she had something on her quote about Winston Churchill' s wiener. This relative (in this case it was OB's daughter) wanted to know if OB had a thing for Winston Churchill's... member (of this group, I suppose? )

Unfortunately, OB's daughter never found out the truth about her mom and Winston Churchill' s potentially "cocky ambitions" (oops, did I actually say that ?) regarding her mom as because 1. Mom never mentioned it IRL and 2. the person who made the quote (Radiojane) took a LOA from FAD. So we may never know the outcome of this mystery.

All this to say RIP, Oogie Boogie. You started a great game here and I always think of you when I see one of your old posts as your departure was so fast.

RIP, OB. May you be Boog'ing with the angels all day and night.. our <3 to you.
