[azryda420]

WTF, do you all remember this lol

Why did they all have $5.75 with them and all wore Nike Cortes's when they killed themselves. That's fucking nuts that some of them cut thier cocks off (pun not intended). I remember when I saw it on tv as a kid. Fuckin creepy. Them sightings and unsolved mysteries post made me looks this up.

They weren't Cortez shoes...they were this other model. I forgot what they were called, but I had a pair of them and after this happened, I never wore 'em again, lol.

i was in heavens gate, but i bitched out on the whole suicide thing cause i had a income tax check comin in the mail

They though heaven was charging admission at the gate?

Nike had a group buy deal on the Air Suicides? they was going for $14.25 a pair giving them $5.75 in change?

Could have been a plot to ruin Nike sales conspired by L.A. Gear at the time? Perhaps British Knights? Since their shit fell off hella early in the 90's.... and they never made a comeback....

 

[jr916]

5.75 was the price of a all day pass on the comet they was waitin for

 

[numba2stunna]

Don't they know E.T. would have settled for some Reese's Pieces.. they didn't need the change...

 

[synical dj]

Does anybody remember the Family Guy episode they did about this? Peter proposes a toast with the poison punch but looks at his watch and realizes he is late and drops his punch and grabs Meg and they run out, but the rest of them drink the punch and you hear all of the thumps of the bodies hitting the ground.

JONES TOWN

JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

Jonestown was the informal name for the "Peoples Temple Agricultural Project", an intentional community in northwestern Guyana formed by the Peoples Temple, a cult from California led by Jim Jones. It became internationally notorious in November 1978, when 918 people died in the settlement as well as in a nearby airstrip and in Georgetown, Guyana's capital. The name of the settlement became synonymous for the incidents at those locations
