RIP Slim Whitman
« on: June 19, 2013, 10:40:03 PM »
Slim Whitman passed away today.  He was 90.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

My grandmother loved his style. Can't say the same for me but lots of good memories listening to his records. RIP, Slim.

It's all about the pancakes, people.

His music made my head explode [Mars Attacks].  Rest peacefully Slim.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Make sure that it's true when you say I Love You
It's a sin to tell a lie
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
