goodnight, funny man

He out-lived Bob Dole?

I'll be damned.

Who am I? Why am I here?

An amazing man. He threw for the Bills, then he threw bills to pay the bills, then he died.

Shawn Kemp...too funny.

I Liked mine better

"Kemp Kroaks


hehehe

/RIP, funnyman

That sucks. Not sure that I agree with his politics, perhaps passionately disagree, but that still sucks. On a side note, Bob Dole only smiles with the bottom of his face.

Well played, submitter

RIP

Bob Dole smiles?

Outshined_One: He out-lived Bob Dole?

I'll be damned.

I thought the same thing.

Was he hot?

corporate mustache: Outshined_One: He out-lived Bob Dole?

I'll be damned.

I thought the same thing.

Actually, wait, Bob Dole's not dead. That's the surprising part.

/You learn something new every day
//Thanks Wikipedia!

His hair is still growing, however...

No shiat. This news came out of nowhere - I didn't even know he was sick.

~RIP

Now some may question my experience in matters of death. To this I can only say:

I know Jack Kemp

too young...


RIP NFL man

"Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down."

"Democracy without morality is impossible."

"Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way."

"Democracy is not a mathematical deduction proved once and for all time. Democracy is a just faith fervently held, commitment to be tested again and again in the fiery furnace of history."

And my personal favorite:

"Pro football gave me a good perspective. When I entered the political arena, I had already been booed, cheered, cut, sold, traded, and hung in effigy."

I once met the man. We were talking about the stars on the Capital steps after a evening session of the House in the '80s. Didn't even realize who I was talking to until he walked away.

/Still never would vote for him.

When it comes to athletes becoming politicians, he set the gold standard.

Barnacles!: I Liked mine better

Well, that makes one of us.

I remember, back in '96 I was selling shoes at Just For Feet. There was a huge pile of Shawn Kemp Reebok's, #88's on them, in various colors. I was suggesting to customers that they could color in any part of the 88 to make them what ever number they wanted.

If not for that, I would have delivered a big "Who's Jack Kemp". All anyone remembers from that election is that Dole was campaigning on Viagra.

abrakadabrakoff: Who am I? Why am I here?

um.. wrong guy.

As is the curse of TF, I made my worthless comments in the non-greenlit thread. So I'm just gonna mash the flakes from my Ped Egg with some Midori and maybe snort it or mix it with some Sunny-D, I don't know yet.

Anyway. Rest in peace, Jack Kemp. I hated your supply-side policies, but I liked the way you liked black people.

buzzvert: His hair is still growing, however...



that IS some impressive hair.

Highroller48: Well, that makes one of us.

LOL

I also tried with "Kemp kicks his oxygen habit"


heh heh

Well that's sad.

RIP. You will be missed.

All I remember is that Jack Kemp was some fooootball player who ran for President, and it wasn't a very good idea...

wmanning833: abrakadabrakoff: Who am I? Why am I here?

...

GRIDLOCK!

Hair should protect the head!

I think he's thinking of Abe Vigoda.

buzzvert: "Democracy without morality is impossible."

Hehe.

abrakadabrakoff: Who am I? Why am I here?

Do you care?.

He was one of the good guys. Sad to see another one go.

...he was the commencement speaker for my undergrad ceremony. I just remember how I wasn't down with his politics, but that his hair was impeccable.

Godscrack: Was he hot?

Well until he died he was at 98.6 degrees.

I remember the day I got to shake his hand. I was happier to be shaking the hand of a Buffalo legend than a vp candidate. RIP Mr. Kemp.

well, that exclusive club just got a little more exclusive.

I'm glad Ace Frehley didn't live to see this day...

Sad.

/Go Bills!

"Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down."

Too bad Obama can't learn from the man anymore.

I remember going out to my favorite hole-in-the-wall bar on election night 1996. One of the local punk bands was playing and had taped one of the campaign signs to their drum kit, modified to read "Dope/Hemp '96"

I was going to type "You sound young" but I'm 26 and I definitely remember more from that election than that. So... you sound forgetful or like someone who doesn't pay attention to things?

Good, he now has the qualification to lead the GOP.

ZERO brain activity.

Did he drop any loot?

So, he's unkempt now?

Wow, both Kemps have rather strange-looking heads.

I totally agree. In fact, I think we should cut tax rates to zero, since that would give us infinite revenues based on past performance.
