Enjoy hell, you little monster.

When you and I meet our Maker, I hope people on this board will be more charitable.

And since we don't sit in judgment, we won't know where she ended up until we too stand in judgment before God.

Phyllis deserves special treatment. When Saint Ronnie bit it I was respectful -- that was a difference of ideas. But Phyllis belongs in the as-shole Hall of Fame next to Falwell et al. She was a blot on the species and a poisonous viper.

But if the afterlife is worrying you, you can relax. There isn't any. Phyllis goes to her stone cold grave just the way she lived her life: small-minded, hate-pinched, utterly un-self-aware, and a living personification of ovarian cancer but in the end... ducking all consequences and responsibility. A true Moral Hero. :rolleyes:

Her cosmic tombstone reads: "the world was made that much worse a place by her time on it."

If there is no afterlife, then how can you consign her to hell?

BTW, I disagree. When my Dad was dying and about to slip into a coma, he told my Mom that it was so beautiful. And if you could have heard the sound of wonder and awe in his voice, you'd believe, too.

That's your body doing everything it can to keep the lights on before The End. Consider it Nature's parting gift, which, given the sh-t old people put up with for decades before death, is the least She can do.

Hell has always been a tool for the living. Once it was imposed from without by the priests to squeeze out their tithes and keep kings in their place, now it's a parlor game we play by ourselves. It brightens my day to imagine Nickles roasting Phyllis on a spit for eternity, and it harms nobody since, for her, time just ended in a burst of electro-chemical fireworks.

Be at peace, joe. We have Nothing to look forward to, and that is the only thing that makes life other than a very sick joke.

JFC, what the heck is wrong with some of you people? I'm not exactly right in the head, but man, some of you are beyond help.

He's dead so it qualifies (kinda): today would have been Freddie Mercury's 70th birthday.

Also some interesting trivia: Queen had four musicians, each of who wrote a song that went to #1. That may be a unique feat.

I think Ringo has been credited with at least co-writer credit on a #1 song or two, so Queen is probably no better than 2nd, although it's an interesting question.

I was thinking the Beatles also.

He sang on Yellow Submarine, but the was the closest he got to writing a #1 for the Beatles. So unless "It Don't Come Easy" went #1...

Edit: looked it up, I guess "Photograph" (which he co-wrote with George a few years after the Beatles' breakup) did go #1. So technically, they all got one, just not as a band.

Lennon and McCartney wrote Yellow Submarine. McCartney wrote Lady Madonna. I'm betting the highest ranked Beatles tune Starr wrote is Octopus' Garden.

Ringo obviously had a hit or two after they broke up, but I'm not sure if those count.

That's what I was thinking, although I thought Ringo had a hand in Lady Madonna (crap, insert joke here....).

It's been claimed that Ringo's way with words helped coin some of the phrases that Paul and John used in some of their songs (including the title for A Hard Day's Night, and a few odd lines in Eleanor Rigby, amongst others). But nothing that counts for song writing.

The only other song besides Octopus's Garden that he had a solo credit on was Don't Pass Me By.

Yes. And you don't. One of us is right and the other wrong and we won't know which until we're dead.

In the meantime, let's live our lives according to these 2 principles:
If it harm none, do it.
Protect the weak from the strong.

Any more discussion should be over in the religion thread.

I wasn't sure about Ringo.
