As pointed out by Sharryl Atkisson:
Amazingly, given the source, one important achievement was not mentioned, as noted in the comments:
That he did.
I sure do miss him.

Tongue-Lashing
Oooooh we got Sarah all riled up, and man is she pissed. (She even swears, albeit behind some ladylike asterisks.)
Don’t be surprised if at the end, you’re hootin’ and hollerin’ and shooting guns in the air, like I did.
Dept. Of Righteous Shootings
Seems as though this punk kid decides that he wants to do something about overpopulation, i.e. shooting everyone he could in an apartment complex. He manages to kill an old lady (no doubt getting a nod of approval from NYGov “Granny-Killer” Cuomo), but at that point, an Olde Pharte decides that enough is enough, and shoots the little bastard dead with his… hunting rifle.
[pause to let the cheers, applause hooting, hollering and catcalls die down]
This being Arkansas, I doubt whether anything more need be said about this.
My old buddy, the late (and sorely-missed) Airboss used to keep next to his front door not a shotgun, but a bolt-action .308 because, as he explained, “I can take care of myself; it’s my neighbors who might need protection.”

Splish Splash
I’ve seen a few funny things in my life, but very few as funny as this. Setup: a citizen is gassing up at the fuel pump, whereupon three choirboys swoop in for purposes of larceny. Now go and watch what happens next. (Try not to giggle like a schoolgirl, as I did.)
Well, There’s That

That really sucks.
I have moved your entry to next year. Same position, etc.
The event will probably be April 29th -> May 1st.Joe Huffman

The above word being used in its most positive sense, that is, when describing a British Army officer who fought the whole of World War II with a broadsword and longbow as his personal weapons (!!!). (Also a set of bagpipes, but let’s not go there. He wasn’t even Scottish.)
Here’s “Mad Jack” Churchill’s story (watch the video first), and his boring Wikipedia entry. “War hero” doesn’t even begin to describe a man who was decorated four times for bravery under fire. He should have got the V.C. and probably would have, except that the world ran out of wars for him to fight.
Read and watch it all.
