That is remarkable. I thought he looked like Bush which make the impression good. He really didn’t look much like him at all. Good makeup and excellent mannerisms.

Ok, I’ll play:

Supercalifragilistic you’re dead as a doornail.  
Even when you lived you were as boring as my junk mail,  
Now that you are dead I claim your life was epic fail,  
Supercalifragilistic you’re dead as a doornail.

Yeah, but just because you’re an Atheist, doesn’t mean there _isn’t_ an afterlife. _Some_body, _some_where, will be waiting for you with a transcript. 😉 😛 😃
