Rip Rain Man.

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Kim Peek, the inspiration for the movie Rain Man, has died at 58 of a massive heart attack.
I saw his biography a few times, a fascinating individual.

And he's right ... K-Mart sucks.

 

[Michael Echan]

Definitely a remarkable man. Definitely.

Sheez! For a moment there I thought Dustin Hoffman died.

RIP, Kim Peek.

 

[Care Bear]

RIP. He was an excellent driver.

(I thought Dustin Hoffman had died, too)

Too bad they couldn't have made it Wal-Mart when it actually coulda mattered. (Hey, a guy can dream, can't he???)



RIP, Mr. Peek, condolences to the family.

Gotta change the thread title; I thought Hoffman had died, too.

"The People's Court" is coming on in heaven.

"Seven minutes 'til Wapner!"

 

[Sea Bass]

I thought this was about Pacman Jones.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I'm sure K-Mart was really thrilled when that movie came out.

RIP to Mr. Peek.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Change the title please. I saw the thread and my heart skipped a beat because I thought Dustin Hoffman had died.

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

The way the thread title was written, I thought this was going to say "Hey, I just saw Rain Man again, and I just don't get it. Anyone else think this movie sucks? Well, Rip away!"

RIP to Mr. Peek.

Hey they survived the immortal Root Boy Slim's "Christmas at K-Mart" back in the '70s, they can handle that nonsense, too.

Ho, ho, ho
Hey, Santa, I hear you just got in from San Jose
Got in a little trouble out that way
But I’ve got a song that’ll pick up your spirits the most
Goes kinda like this—

Christmas at K-Mart, all over the store
People are buying just a little bit more
So if you’re still shopping with money to spend
How ’bout this album by Root Boy Slim?

Christmas at K-Mart, Christmas at K-Mart

The mood ring counter is all aglow
When Root Boy starts his Christmas show
Winos sleep on the hot-air grill
Hippies take their Christmas pill

Cough syrup, sold out tonight
Those Locker Room users in their usual fright
That lingerie counter was grab and go
Shoplifters' bags on overflow

Santa got a dose in San Jose
Come to the K-Mart, wants love to stay
I must have died and gone to Heaven
’Cause Hell is Christmas at the 7-11

The drama teacher at my high school argued that Dustin Hoffman's performance in Rain Man wasn't special, that any actor could learn the mannerisms and win an Oscar. I thought he was full of crap.

He had a bad haircut and couldn't dress himself.
Oh...it's R.I.P. Rain Main, not rip rain man.
Oops.

Like others, I was misled by the thread title.
I thought Shawn Kemp had left 458 kids orphaned.
