Mr. Harley: I'm afraid my people haven't. I'm very sorry... I wish it were otherwise.

Rest in peace Dio.

As for Phelps and his ilk, I like to think God has a special place in Hell for them. If not,
there is always karma. Or someone can can sic the Hell's Angels on them.


Also I'm sorry, but Valhalla is for warriors, not musicians. Not Dio. Not even Dimebag Darrell.

I like to think that God has a special place for Dimebag Darrell, and it is run by Merzbow. That way he can know the torment I've known.

That's actually something that I considered could happen. A lot of bikers love metal, and I can't see any who are affiliated with any of the cycle gangs taking too kindly to Fred Fundystone and his expanded inbred family of bigots.

A comment on the Phelps: they may very well want to be assaulted and their previous attempts to provoke it (the military funeral picketing) backfired when people just surrounded and cordoned them off and then ignored them. Remember, they're all sue-happy lawyers and traveling around the country to be a bunch of pricks is expensive. Plus they could feel like martyrs while doing it.

except for getting turned into a popsical for Lucifer at circle 9 that's about as bad as it gets.

While I appreciate his contribution, man am I happy that the source of that horrible ear ache inducing noise is gone.

I'll throw one up in honor anyhow... \m/

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
