Mr. Thompson....
bunch of evil bastards at that video store lol
Outstanding
i got epic owl
great funny vid, with the added bonus of a moral. Kind of like the Aesops fables of old.
Damn.
I Loved Him & Miss Him
This is a horrible. HST deserves better. Everyone that likes then AND claims to be a HST fan should go fingerblast themselves into oblivion.
Ahh good to see he was just like everyone else in many ways. Totally normal reaction I would think. As for Achilles McClatchey-Moore's comment, I have no idea why fans of HST should finger blast themselves into oblivion but ok. Good stuff FoD & Sascha!!
Love the Ralph Steadman salute at 1:07 - 1:14
