Tim McG Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 He drank/smoked himself to death. IMHO, a wasted intellect is more of a tragedy.....I didn't agree with him, but a waste nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Right on God, wrong on Iraq. Hitch...one of the great minds of our times. RIP. He drank/smoked himself to death. IMHO, a wasted intellect is more of a tragedy.....I didn't agree with him, but a waste nonetheless. I'll be joining him, re: drinking and smoking (I'm a whiskey man who smokes a pipe and an occasional cigar). Honestly, if you don't enjoy yourself, what's the point? I'd rather be dead at 65 having had a good time than alive at 90 regretting what I didn't do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'd rather be dead at 65 having had a good time than alive at 90 regretting what I didn't do... Of course, there is the option of still having a good time at 90 and being thankful for not doing all the stuff that probably would've killed you at 65, but nobody ever talks about that until they get there...

David Ayers Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I had him down as the classic pub bore writ large. I don't understand why his death has been marked in the mass media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I had him down as the classic pub bore writ large. I don't understand why his death has been marked in the mass media. Maybe because he wasn't boring. He was a lot of things, but I don't think boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I always groaned when I saw him on tv - I always knew what he would say, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 And how he would say it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 He had his hobby horses, but I liked the way he rode them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 But hobby horses never really go anywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 But hobby horses never really go anywhere... Does it has to, to be amusing? You know, enjoy the journey, not the destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yeah, I know. But I'd rather actually get somewhere if there's work involved. Otherwise, a nap for me, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
