I'm not big on nil nisi bonum,

so I'll leave it at I'll never think of Toby Keith without thinking of the pro-lynching song he sang at Trump's inauguration non-star concert.   I agree with Natalie Maines' shirt.  What happens to him now isn't my responsibility.  

Update:  I wonder why when someone like that dies, they say he's a country music legend, or he's a show-biz legend.   Legends are make believe, I'd rather be remembered for reality not PR bull shit.

    You're not real big on metaphor, are you, Sparky.

    Oh well, don't worry -- it's not like you're gonna be remembered for anything, let alone being called a legend. Well, okay -- "legendary prig nitwit" has a nice ring to it.

    1. So, you're a TK fanboy, right?
      I am entirely indifferent to whether or not anyone remembers me but those who know me and I think I'll get over it if they don't remember me, either.

    2. Oh, and explain to me how that use of "legendary" is a "metaphor." As I recall I've corrected you on that use of "metaphor" before probably for at least the fourth time. Your career as a writer is as impressive as Eric Trump's as a "builder."
