And, of course, don't forget this one. Pretend the chorus of Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor is playing:

Everyone already knows you're an asshole. Wasted effort.

I've never been a fan of sports, but his art always caught my eye. I'm sad to see him go.

 

[RoryN]

Me too.

He's one of those artists many don't know by name...but they know his work.
