Another failed Prep-school Grad I see, to many beats, think one beat per syllable.

I've never seen him but there is a hiking trail named for him around Sedona, AZ. Here's a picture. Jim Thompson Trail -- Leads 3 miles to the Brins Mesa Trail parking lot. This is an easy trail with a 100 foot change in elevation.

He was probably involved with my GGrandfather in some shady deals in Eastern Utah and Western Colorado in the 1880’s.

It is not well know that JimThom worked as a clown during one of his covert CIA gigs.

Because you couldn’t keep him down..he was the inspiration behind the Bozo punching bag.

I heard through the grapevine that keith O has one in his dressing room and punches it on a daily basis muttering insane rants about JimThom.

I met Jimmy in 6th grade. We were in the same class. We found ourselves under the same table during the “duck and cover” drills.

Everybody on Free Republic knew Jim as a man of few words. But because of that we all looked forward to his posts.

The MSM investigated Jim Thompson more in 24 hours than they did Baraq in 24 months.

I remember Jim Thompson very well. Terrific Logical Positivist philosopher but he couldn’t hit a major league curveball worth spit. He was the sixth Marx Brother, the fifth Beatle, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. I still owe him a hooker and a pack of smokes.
