Well we still have Robbie. I don't think he is as good as dad but he is close.Wasn't he a hard drinker?
If God didn’t want us to eat meat, why did he make the cow so slow? (Ever eaten a cheetah-burger? Nope. And you never will.)

[QUOTE=The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs]R.I.P., Evel KnievelRest in peace, Evel Knievel.O leaper,O thrill-seeker,O wearer of patriotic jumpsuits, youearned huge amounts of moneywith your pointless, suicidal stunts,and brought glory to America.Yet the IRS chased you down& stung you for millionsin unpaid taxes.*******s!"World's Greatest Daredevil."That was your title.Which is strange becauseon the big jumpsyou always crashed.Caesar's Palace,Snake River Canyon,Wembly Stadium.Boom. Splat. Boom. Splat. Boom. Splat.Jon Ive says if someone crashedthat much in our businessthey wouldn't call you "world's greatest."They'd call you Microsoft. Or Windows.A bit unkind of him, I think.Because you inspired people.Including me. One time,when I was thirteen, I builta ramp on my street& put on a cape& a football helmet& tried to jump a Schwinn Stingrayover three kindergarten kids.Each kid lay on the pavementholding a pair of enormous torches:newspaper doused in gasoline.Flames leapt eight feet into the air.Soon after thisas part of my parole agreementI joined my school's electronics club.The rest, as they say,is history.Posted by Steve at 5:10 AM[QUOTE]Original post --> http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/....html
