It's a ploy by the government to turn us into a media-controlled zombie socialist nation.

But really, it's sad that so many prominent people have died recently...
Especially the ones who had a large impact on the world (MJ, Les Paul...)

Too cross thread...one of my favorite Family Guy lines is when they rip some group of the week a new one, and they follow it up with
"Naw, but really"
Back to your regularly scheduled thread....

That would be so cute on a pair of PJs.

A Poem by Henry Gibson:

Dogs Are Better Than Ants


Dogs are better than ants
Because you don't have to bend so far to pet them
In addition, they are sturdy old muzzlers
Who fetch us our slippers, papers, and twig chunks
Twig chunks
But most of all, they stay out of jelly jars and
Never go squish if you happen to step on them.
Life is good!

I also remember him for playing Private Wrongo Starr on F Troop...
... and the head Illinois Nazi in The Blues Brothers (prompting Jake Elwood's line: "I hate Illinois Nazis").
