The Famous People Thank You Thread
…for people who really don’t ever get thanked enough; for people who should have every restaurant meal comp’d for the rest of their lives, But Don’t:
Look, if life was Fair they would… but if life was Fair, 2 Carnies would have dragged me out & beaten the living Hell out of me long before now.
I’d like to start:
Dear Robin Williams,
Thank You, you Magnificent Son-of-a-Bitch! Thank you for making me realize that thinking fast and trying to be funny, with a lot of practice, can sometimes work. Thank you for letting your passion loose with your thoughts
and for being brave enough to share that with us. Thank You for smiling even when your characters lose; it almost made me feel like I fit in inside.
Thank You for making movies that were funny & using that to make movies that were Serious and Amazing. Thank you for showing that even the smartest guy in the room can have his guts ripped out from the inside when
you think with your heart. And Thank You Most of All for showing the world the class of taking it all, all the crap people dump daily, in stride.
A fist-bump & a nod from the Anonymous Internet; I’m no one you will ever know, I’m nobody you will ever meet. Its just the only way I have of saying Thank You!
Sometimes that’s not that Horrible. (I Hope)
