8. Watch out saying that - the DU Morality Police will getchya!

According to them, we cannot wish any ill will upon anyone, no matter how evil, nasty, racist or hateful that person is

And they attack in threes...

12. There is a God!! You think he wants Nugent in his band?

:D

[mysuzuki2]

16. Probably not. There's an alternative however.

I am reminded of a Stephen King story. A couple gets lost and drives into an out of the way town. It turns out that the only occupants are dead rock and rollers who try to make them stay. I forget the name but it's a turnabout on the Rock and Roll Heaven idea. Good story. I think Ted Nugent would make an excellent garbage collector.

...in 1979.
