Happy Birthday Richard, and thank you for making me laugh uncontrollably and I know nowdays your making God piss his pants.

Visitor,

wow, wow, wow...that was a very, very nice post. had me feeling good inside reading it. and I usually get all warm and fuzzy from being evil, so damn! and another wow.


Appaloosa,

and I was thinking, let's just hope we never have to go up against RP and Redd Foxx about who drank all the champagne. you know even the Big Kahuna and Jesus will stand by and say, "oh this WILL be funny, hang back", then we'll leave w/our tails between our legs but it's all good.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but booze is good food.

Happy Birthday, Richard. Of all the things I am sad about regarding your not being on this plane anymore (and there are many), the greatest one is that you never got to talk about Mr. Bush on stage. From that standpoint, George is quite possibly the luckiest man alive.

But I can never get too sad that you are gone. Why? Because you're not. And you will never be. You will be around long after Bush and Paris and Seacrest and the rest of the current moronic American culture is just a bad taste left in our collective mouths.

Whenever a king died in England, they would always say "The king is dead -- long live the king." That always referred to two people: the king that passed on and the new one that took his place. In your case, both kings are the same person.

In case I wasn't clear, I miss you. Happy Birthday!

And if any of this was stupid or too maudlin, as I said, booze is good food. It's just not brain food.
