Love that song

My dad used to listen to that when I was a little kid. I always liked it too.

My dad has a thing for Reba McEntire. He was a state trooper and one year he got to drive her around after a concert at the state fair. She gave him a hug and he wouldn't shut up about it for a month.

I'm sorry, but this post has nothing to do with Kip. Please try to stay on target. Thanks.

I'm going to start out with an appropriate tribute song or two. Most of you won't remember this one by the late Jimmy Dean, called Big John. Now we'll just change the lyrics a bit and it will be Big Kip. Feel free to sing along. If I really put my mind to it, I could probably change it around some and make it about VJ, but I want to get this posted while it is still fresh on everyone's mind.

Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive

He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five

Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

And everybody knew, ya didn't give no lip to Big Kip

(Big Kip, Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

(Big Kip)

Nobody seemed to know where Kip called home

He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy

And if you spoke at all, he just said, "Hi" to Big Kip

Somebody said he came from New Orleans

Where he got in a fight over a RUB Queen

And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land, Big Kip

(Big Kip, Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

(Big Kip)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine

When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept Kip

Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell

Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan

And like a giant Oak tree, he just stood there alone, Big Kip

(Big Kip, Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

(Big Kip)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

Then a miner yelled out, "There's a light up above"

And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave

Now there's only one left down there to save, Big Kip

With jacks and timbers they started back down

Then came that rumble way down in the ground

And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big Kip

(Big Kip, Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

(Big Kip)

Now they never reopened that worthless pit

They just placed a marble stand in front of it

These few words are written on that stand

At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man, Big Kip

(Big Kip, Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

(Big Kip)

(Big Kip)

Big Bad Kip

Run out of +1s.

A great tribute!

I was serious. I enjoyed reading his stories as much as he liked telling them. I actually have read up on a lot of his old threads. I think my favorite was him and wife of Mahmoud or however you spell it in that lowes commercial thread. He's crazy, no doubt but he's very entertaining and his comments crack me up. Everyone doesn't have to like kip the way you do. You've been making a lot of assumptions about other people's intentions that frankly aren't true. I don't do that to you, why would you do that to me? Just because people don't feel like you do about the situation doesn't mean they conspired against Kip or made fun of him or whatever. No body's turned on you or deserted you, you're just dealing in extremes.

Agreed 100%.

There have been some disrespectful things said in the past few days regarding Kip's banning and the other events that took place here that really should never have been said. I don't know anyone here who's happy that Kip is gone, I personally wanted him here. Everyone is entitled to remember Kip in their own way, no one is disrespecting him.

LOL this is a Kip thread now ?

Ewok said they may restrict the forum and and a Mod just for here.

Once again you are so middle of the road and mature, you would be good at it

[GandD 5,966]

Spooks for President!

[Operator 1,927]

Looks like we will be adding another to the roll...

Ewok, please remove or close my account. I will follow up on this request with a PM (if your inbox is set up to receive PMs). Thanks.

I just wanna hang out.

AJ thread is gone.

for the record, i didn't report it.

It doesn't matter. I know you have your reasons for wanting to leave but I personally really liked your posts. We could lose lots of people and it would suck but I really think losing you is a loss of identity for this sub forum.

Stop your whining and get back in here.

This is like AJ's 10th account. He'll be back. The fun part is figuring out what his new name is.
