An American Icon Died today

RStar · 11-30-2007, 09:50 PM

He may not have been a great man, nor the most important figures in america, but he was an American icon just the same.

The Legendary Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at 69.

My parents took a road trip to see him [try to] jump the Snake River Canyon. I met him about 4 or 5 years ago, and he was having trouble walking, but seemed in good spirits. I got his autograph. My prayers go out to his family.

Mr Knievel, may you rest in peace.

Sad to see that he died but he's one of those people I kinda thought was already dead so I've already made my peace.

I have a number of scars from imitating that man. May he successfully land his final jump to the hereafter...

I may just go ahead and merge this one, too - just to spite you all.

Ever see that episode of Happy Days when the sheriff was trying to run Fonzie out of town

Tomorrow, I'm going to get out of bed, read the news, find out that Evil Knievel died and start a threat on LoT.

It is like you tore a page out of my diary and read it aloud to the world.
