God Bless You Mr. V

The master is gone, may he go to a place with less gravity and warm breezes.


1922 - 2007

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’
----God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater


So Don't be one of these -
