Wow, this is very surprising.  Whats up with the celebs dying lately?   Always got a good laugh watching Police Academy movies.

Yup.  With the last post I did with the old "won't be down for breakfast" style that apparently pissed off some one, I felt a need to change it up.  Wonder if anyone will be offended by this title now?    Not that I care.   :nana:

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

This is sad. I always thought he was funny in the Miller Lite Commercials of the '80s, and on the tv show Blue Thunder. And yes in the Police Academy movies too.
RIP Bubba  :'(

Originality!!! Wow!
I can say that I wasn't PISSED about the repetitive use of that other overused phrase. I just thought, and still think, that we gearheads are capable of MORE that simply parroting what everyone else does. How many times can YOU stand to hear the same joke?

That depends if its a good joke or not!   :smilielol:  And my memory is not what it used to be.   Hey, Bubba Smith died!  Guess he won't be down for breakfast.  Oh, wait, did I say that already?    :lol:
