That's right, you ratpuke, you've been dead so long that had you get to have a pathetic boxset made for you. How can you tell it's pathetic? Well, aside from the fact that it has your middle-brow bleatings all over it, it has liner notes from that steroid-addled pussy-hater Henry Rollins. Yeah, that Henry Rollins - the same useless girlyman who has spent his entire career twiddling his nipples like Julia Sweeney's "It's Pat" character without the testosterone.<br /><br />Y'know, there are some people so fucking stupid out there who thought that your smoking cigarettes was, like, dude, so totally fucking non-PC that it made a useless pansy like you some kind of badass or something. But you know as well as I do that the reason you loved putting those Carolina cylinders in your mouth so goddam much is because it reminded you of sucking Jesse Helms' cock.<br /><br />You know what sucks about me being alive and you being dead, besides nothing? The idea that you were such a pathetic emotionally stunted piece of crap that you never managed to reproduce. Because if some woolly-headed perpetual sophomore had actually managed to extract a sperm sample from your perpetually flaccid loins and impregnate herself, then I would have had the joy of feeding said offspring into a woodchipper with an exit valve that led directly into your eternally flapping mouth. After that, of course, I'd like to kill you, but without an electron microscope there'd be no way to kill you by hitting you in the brain, the heart, or the guts.<br /><br />But hey, it's just fine that you're dead as you are. I'm still alive, and if this latest promotion for LG Electronics gives me enough time, and I happen to be anywhere nearby, I'll stop by and shit on your grave. Because you're dead. And I'm not, asshole.MBowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992038501958547302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-367655598414028182010-11-16T19:55:53.644-05:002010-11-16T19:55:53.644-05:00The guy was a fookin' genius!

A brilliant, funny, angry man, you can listen to him now, almost 20 years after his prime, and he makes more sense, and makes you laugh louder, than anyone out there working today.<br /><br />[adjusts tinfoil hat] And I absolutely convinced that Bush Sr. had Bill killed. 32 year olds just don't die of pancreatic cancer.
