Sacred Cow Burgers farewell.

Hello folks,

Sorry that this message isn't a notification of a new parody, but I figure this is a necessary note to send. The long and short of it is this: after three years as Butcher of Sacred Cow Burgers, I have decided to hang up my cleaver. I figured I should let you all know why.

Foremost in the making of this decision is a very happy turn of events: I am going to be a father. My wife informed me of this miraculous news just days before Father's Day of this year.

The responsibility of becoming a parent is not one I take lightly. In short, my waking hours are now wholly dedicated to my family in every way. Doing political parodies for Sacred Cow Burgers has a been fun hobby, but it takes up far too much of my free time and has never been intended as a source of income. Thus, I'm hanging up my cleaver and putting away the butcher's block.

I want to thank you all for your interest in my work and especially for the outpouring of support that so many of you gave during my bout with cancer and other health issues in the past two years. I am happy to say that, thanks to your prayers, my health has vastly improved over the past six months. I now work out seven times a week and feel stronger than I have in many years past. My lungs are clear, my heart is strong, my mind is sharp, and my eyes are...well, three outta four ain't bad.

In closing, I send my best wishes to all of you. I've enjoyed making parodies for you folks, and appreciated your input and support over the years. I've had a good run as your Butcher, but now it's time for me to be a full-time family man. Thank you all and God bless.

Sincerely,

Jay D. Dyson

Woohoo! That's great. Congratulations and all that good stuff. And thank you for sharing!

[Feiny]

Congratulations! Now, you will never forget Valentines Day!

. . .God bless all of you.

I'll take that! And back at you brother . . . enjoy the miracle of life!

Unto You, O Lord, we return with praise and thanksgiving that Your healing hand continues to rest mightily upon our FRiend, Jay. May it be, Merciful Father, that every trace of sickness and distress will continue to be washed away, that Jay would enjoy the fullness of years, unto his children's children.

Thank You for establishing him firmly as one who loves You and his family, and we praise You that You have blessed him and his beloved wife with a precious life. Watch over this little one and his mother, O Lord, that he would be brought forth in love and in health ... may this precious baby be graced throughout his lifetime with Your Mantle of Blessing.

Into Your hands, O Lord, we commit the talents of Prime Choice and pray that You lead him and his family in the way You would have them go, to the Honor and Glory of Your Name. Amen ...

[Albion Wilde]

Amen!

~pinging~ a few Freepers who may have missed the good news/bad news like I did. We will certainly miss Prime Choice's considerable talents on FR.

Just a hunch, but I suspect he'll be back, albeit in a somewhat diminished capacity. He will have his hands full before long...

If you enjoyed his work as much as I did, please tell him so(if you haven't already).

Oops! Meant to ~ping~ you to this one since you seem to have a pretty good list of PhotoShoppers who might be interested in this re one of our best.

[devolve]

Have a life!

[potlatch]

I'll echo devolve's nice post Prime Choice. Take time for yourself, enjoy your family.

JUST HAPPENED to have the PS list handy!

(Pingees, Prime Choice has the best reason we can imagine to tell us he is 'taking some time off'......)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, Prime Choice...

When you are up walking the floors at 3 a.m., who ya gonna call??

FREEPERS!!!!

We'll be here and ready with plenty of advice...

MARVELOUS pictures of the baby and remarkable that such early life is so .....obvious.

NOW, do you want to get off the ping lists or are you just closing down the PS operation for a while....

[reagan_fanatic]

I will miss your work - you were one of the great ones on FR.

Hope you change your mind, though!

Farewell... (but not goodbye, hopefully ;)

Your parodies were always enjoyed and set a high mark. All the best to you and your (growing) family!

[armymarinemom]

What a wonderful reason to less time to graphic activism. Everyone enjoys your work but family comes first! Congrats. He or she is already a cutie!

[ForGod'sSake]

Thanks bitt.

[McGavin999]

Jay, we wish you all the best. You brought us many smiles and a lot more out loud belly laughs. May God shower your life with blessings.

Learn to sing "Da-Oh!" for your 2am bottle warming and getting the baby back to sleep

[Smartass]

God Bless and good luck Jay...

PC, I've got three children and I still PhotoShop! I just wish I new their names or what they look like!

[Bommer]

No offense Jay, but during the incubation period (9 months and the time they start walking (1 - 2 years) kids sleep eat poop and cry. So theres still alot of downtime. Need you for November bud, only 3 month away. The wife will be getting ger in that time and you can the babies room on weekends. Don't leave us now!!!!
