60 years ago, yes. -- nm - spamlet Jan 17, 09:56 6
- all I know is I googled Tim Horton for images and it was all a hockey player. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:57 5
  - yes, he was a hockey player. He started the company, then died in a drunken car crash and his widow sold the company -- nm - decline Jan 17, 09:58
  - he started the chain (donut shop), then got killed in a drunk driving car crash. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 09:58 3

      - really? not me. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 10:07 1
        
        I was nine and presume that you were just younger enough that news stuff didn't filter down -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:12
There was a Buffalo Sabre hockey player named Tim Horton who died in a automobile accident (DUI) and he co-founded the company. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:56
Well sort of. A bit of a description in the IM. - Shaun Jan 17, 09:56 17

    - ahhhhahahahahahaha ... that's classic (sorry Loosi - you have to admit though - that's pretty good) -- nm - JenBro Jan 17, 10:27 4
      - If I'm going to be ST famous again, at least it's funny. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 10:28 3
        
        yeah, but it's not like that was the first time it has been used here. -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:31 1
        
        in real life, my dumbassery is legendary. it's not a new discovery. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 10:32
        
        :) honestly I'm surprised it hasn't been done to me yet ... ironic right? ;) -- nm - JenBro Jan 17, 10:30

        I really asked for it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 10:27
        
        Learn how to Tim Horton, america! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 10:26
    - TTPOW. -- nm - Remlik Jan 17, 10:10 2
      - shut it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 10:13 1
        
        I might say it's an early front runner for STPOY -- nm - Remlik Jan 17, 10:17
    - heh -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:02 1
      - wow, I didn't know that he played for 24 seasons in the NHL (and presumably would have played longer if not for his dying) -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:08
    - I really deserved that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:59
oh, loosi. -- nm - Reagen Jan 17, 09:55 10
- do I look like a hockeyologist to you? -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:56 7
  - did you think they just randomly picked a name? - Reagen Jan 17, 09:57 6
    - fwiw, I had no idea either. -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 10:24 4
      - You're not helping. -- nm - spamlet Jan 17, 10:35
      - you don't claim French Canadian heritage every other week -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:25 2
        
        yeah because that stuff is transferred in DNA. ;P - loosilu Jan 17, 10:29
        
        ah, that explains it, though: canadiens fan -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 10:26
    - ha ha. look at that. wikipedia. well that certainly explains a lot. I'll just slink away now. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:58
- Tim Horton isn't just a character like Ronald McDonald? -- nm - con_carne Jan 17, 09:56 1
  - no, but Sidney Crosby was a Timbit -- nm - zork Jan 17, 10:03
