"My name is Rather. And I'm a dick"

ROFLMAO

"My name is Rather. And I'm a dick"

I don't think the FCC would fine CBS for the pronouncement...probably send congratulatory note instead.

[MJY1288]

Great Job, You had me laughing all the way through it

A little bird told me I smelled a rat, and when my bird smells rats, there's sure to be a red herring around. Herring... I thought. Like in lutefisk. Playing a hunch, I booked the next Northwest Unlimited for Minnesota.

Beautiful, man. Beautiful.

Now I'm hungry.

That is so twisted... and SO FRICKING FUNNY!!!

Ya done good, son.

My name is Rather. And I'm a dick.

Ha! Another case of blatant Black Rock typecasting.

"My name is Rather. And I'm a dick."

Whoever said the man was incapable of telling the truth?

[untenured]

"As a matter of fact, I do," I said, putting on my fedora. "The front row at Neyland Stadium."

Youre going to catch heck for that one.

"Horse-eating bear" bump.

Genius.

*BUMP* ! for great humor! Spilled my coffee with a little bourbon on my key board. Messy mess. I was coughing and laughing so hard my neighbors wondered loudly what was going on over here. I believe the most operative word, 'dick,' has two critical, primary meanings. In the context of this story, which reads like a bit like a detective novel, the two meanings both fit quite perfectly. 'Dick' reaaly means 'dick.' In short, i Quote: That 'Dick' Dan Rather truly is a patethic sort of dick. Or, as we used to sing in grade school, "A crazy dick-dick has a crazy dick-dick" . . . meaning an African beastie called a dick-dick . . . Or Whatever . . . Oh, well . . .

Just my humble personal opinion regarding a public figure.

Oh, man. That is outstanding. Just outstanding.

Hilarious ... as usual.

Mark for what I know will be some fine wakeup reading in the am. Start off the day with a laugh. :o)

David, I marvel at how you can imitate (and caricature and exaggerate and spoof) so many different styles. Just fabulous.
