Checkers....Gods speed....A race well run....

I don’t care if it rains or freezes

Long as I got my plastic Jesus

Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car.

Goin’ ninety, I ain’t scary

‘Cause I got the Virgin Mary

Assurin’ me that I won’t go to Hell.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than your standard John Deere lawn tractor

Some days you're the bug...some days you're the windshield

I'm not so sure about your prose, Mike, but I will say that PN was certainly one of my very favorite actors.

Cool Hand Luke sang this in what many say is one of the great American movies.

PN was a great American.

He was before my time, but I always liked that the proceeds from his Salad Dressings and Popcorn went to a good cause, and not necessarily just his bank account.

I'll need to rent more of his movies. My kids liked his voice as Doc Hudson in the recent Cars Disney movie.
