Watch the clip to get the joke.

Williams was the most amazing comic ever to grace this earth.
Why he chose to leave us in that manner is quite beyond me.

His legacy is still intact.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

Last post for the weekend.
A Williams quote...and quite a profound one, given things past.

"What’s wrong with death sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can’t we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humour. Death is not the enemy, gentlemen. If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all - indifference."

I shall rant on for a few more minutes until I finally go to bed to get some rest.

I have fought long and hard to defend some ethical positions here.
I shall continue to do so until either I pass away or my defense of same is taken from me by ignorance or pity. I am not going to be silenced here as long as I can defend my position.

Lack of understanding is NOT a definable position to be in, and many of you have launched many things at me from that position.

It is simply not a hard ground to stand upon.
Your position is based on sand.

I can go on to point out each and every misguided post you have ever made.
I have them all bookmarked, and can draw them up at my whim.

I think perhaps some of you should withdraw certain statements and recant.

I am waiting.

Some facts you should know about animal shelters......

Shelter Myths Debunked
1. All animal shelters are directly managed by larger organizations (e.g., ASPCA, HSUS).
False. In fact, according to Ayse Dunlap, Director of Operations for the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL), which services about 16,000 animals a year, “this is entirely false…there’s no affiliation at all.” Dunlap adds that most rescues and shelters run solely on grants and donations from the surrounding communities, unless they are government facilities (like county rescues).

2. All shelter pets available for pet adoption are old.
False. It’s possible to find pets of all ages in shelters (i.e., puppies, adults, middle-aged, etc.). Ellen Quimper, Executive Director of the smaller rescue (intake about 1,000 a year) Love-A-Stray Cat Rescue in Avon, Ohio (LAS), says she currently has over 20 kittens available for adoption and adds that, on any given day, there are at least 10 kittens available as well as senior pets and ‘regular adult’ pets. Dunlap concurs, noting that the Cleveland APL has 40-50 kittens right now as well as several puppies. “It really depends on the season,” says Dunlap. “This time of year we’re heading into slower kitten season. Winter equals fewer kittens. ” Adding that, “the APL never discriminates for age – we have a 12-year-old dog on the floor as well as a two-month-old kitten. It really just depends on the time of year.” LAS also has pets of all ages as most rescues make it a rule to not play the age discrimination game – they’re hearts are too big.

3. Shelter personnel don’t know enough about pets.
False. According to Dunlap, “…a shelter’s workers are generally quite knowledgeable and often the shelter’s greatest resource. You can find people like veterinary technicians volunteering at shelters oftentimes, as well as actual veterinarians, behaviorists, and other animal specialists.” They know the pet’s personality, temperament, likes, dislikes, even the food that the pet prefers. In fact, once you determine which pet you’d like to adopt it’s best to ask what food he/she is currently being fed. Many shelters receive food donations by pet food companies and therefore are best left on the same food until you can consult a veterinarian.

4. Animal shelters only have dogs and cats.
False. Many rescues, including Cleveland APL, have small mammal adoptions and offer rabbits, guinea pigs and other small four-leggers like gerbils. You can even rescue birds like parrots!

5. Shelters don't have any purebreds up for adoption.
False. According to Found Animals, 25% of the pets in shelters around the U.S. are purebred dogs and cats. And, of course, don’t rule out the existence of specific breed rescues as they are widespread and very reputable. For example, if you wanted a Golden Retriever you could easily find a Golden Retriever rescue group in the nearest big city as these types of shelters/rescues are abundant in numbers — even toy breed rescues.

6. Shelter pets are usually quite dirty.
False. They may come in looking like ragamuffins, but they shine with delight after they’re cleaned up and given medications, shots, and spay/neuter surgery, if needed. Some animal rescues even make it a habit to have regular grooming sessions for the pets they have. Volunteers are tasked with brushing, clipping nails and bathing the animals at shelters. And let’s keep in mind folks, these are animals – they naturally have a smell… so cut them a break. Cleveland APL, for instance, tries hard to groom most every dog that comes in – at least with a good bath and brushing!

7. Adoption fees are too expensive.
False. This one may be a bit subjective, but you must remember all that the animal shelter/rescue has done for the pet — they spent the time and money necessary to obtain him, house him, feed him, medicate him, spay/neuter him and properly vet him otherwise. That’s easily a $500 investment. You’re getting a STEAL at $250 (or sometimes less depending on the shelter or situation). Dunlap also says that most rescues and shelters give heartworm tests, flea preventatives, plus Rabies/Bordetella/Distemper vaccinations. That’s over $500 right there. You'd be hard-pressed to find a dog or cat from a breeder or pet store for anywhere near that price (plus, the reward that you are saving a life).

8. Shelter pets usually have behavioral problems or are imperfect.
False. “People think there is something wrong with the animals, i.e. the mentality of, ‘they wouldn’t be in a shelter if there wasn’t something wrong with them,’” says Dunlap. “Most of what comes into our shelter are wonderful family pets. Some dogs, yes, have training and behavioral issues because the first human owner didn’t properly work with them, but it’s rare.” Dunlap adds that - even from a breeder – you aren’t going to get a “perfect” pet and that every pet needs to be trained and properly vetted.

9. You won’t get to know your chosen shelter pet well enough before adopting.
False. Dunlap said that in many cases, the potential adopter is ready to proceed before the animal shelter is! Most rescues will allow home visits and encourage you to interact with the dog in a “Visiting Room” at the actual shelter before you move forward.

10. Animal shelters are sad places.
False. However, this also depends on how you look at the situation. Some go into an animal shelter and see confused faces looking back at them. But imagine if these faces were out on the cold, harsh street with nothing to eat and no friends. With no one to care for them. With no one to talk to them. These animals are being saved, and hence, you should look at the glass as half-full in every animal shelter’s case and in every animal’s case.

I was sliding sideways at about 50mph throgh the ditch and hit it dead on.
The car had flipped over in a 180 and then abruptly came down of the roof.
You could not have scripted it better. Years later, I learned that you could do this on purpose for a living...LOL.

I drove stunts for many years after that. And not one was as spectacular as thet first event.

Can you tell us what movies you are credited in as a stuntman?
Of course, if you didn't do movie work, you must be on YouTube for your stunt driving at county fairs and demolition derbies.
No one can spend years as a stunt driver and have no film.

So clearly, this stunt driver thing is just another falsehood passed off as part of the alternative reality you choose to live in.

So many of your posts are like this. They are so filled with distortions and deceptions that you make it impossible to take anything you say seriously.

Well, if the creators of these forums didn't want people posting lies and made up facts, they should have made a rule that says no one can lie or make up facts.
