Will Ricky Nelson be our Guest of Honor? This is likely lost on our younger members, but it IS for April 1st, after all…

It is now, but I don’t quite get your fundamental reliance on calendars. Many’s the time that I digged up dead men and set them upright at their dear friends doors just when their sorrow almost was forgot… and not once was it on any calendar I ever saw.

Closest to the last. It is Shakespeare, from Titus Andronicus.
And to furthrr our literary examination, it does threaten to be “a dark and stormy night”.

Lol I went with my general rule of Shakespeare, if its morbid, its probably hamlet.

Charles Schulz used the phrase, but didn’t originate it.
From Wikipedia:
“The status of the sentence as an archetype for bad writing comes from the first phrase of the opening sentence (incipit) of English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s 1830 novel Paul Clifford.”
And:
"The Peanuts comic strip character Snoopy, in his imagined persona as the World Famous Author, sometimes begins his novels with the phrase “It was a dark and stormy night.”[7] Cartoonist Charles Schulz made Snoopy use this phrase because “it was a cliché, and had been one for a very long time”.
You might not be able to tell this by reading the thread, but we’re going to bundle up tomorrow night and hang out with food and drinks!
