[TuralyonW3]

lol at nascar announcing

[Nate the Grate]

I have no idea who that is.

[Eulogy]

he was an awesome guy. really. knock nascar all you want, but benny parsons was a genuinely good man, and it sucks big time that he died so young.

Nascar (and motorsports in general) is pretty pointless, but the amusing thing is seeing those packed out stadiums of people watching cars making circuits all day

and i had NO idea bobby hamilton died. crazy.

madden was way funnier to watch before that guy on madtv started immitating him.

"He died Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., where he had been hospitalized since Dec. 26 because of complications from his treatment. He was 65."

Practically a teenager!

[wally]

65 is young. Hell, Nimmy is halfway there!

[I'maskingforit!]

the real depressing thing is the extent he would go to avoid cigarette smokers. he wouldn't even alow smoking in his golf group. lung cancer is such a fucking asshole
