A friend to JW and myself died this afternoon, never posted but often mentioned.
My phone never rings, I knew before I answered.
As JW would say, Fucking Merle.....

Merle, is that you a telling me to go to hell from far?
Had a hell of a time getting on here and posting a salute in your honor.
Don't know if this is gone work as yet.
Just the other day when a fatass on the TV, named Donna Somebody uddered your words "Go to Hell" I thought she was a taking to me I heard it from you so much my friend.
Was saddened to hear of your demise without we both a cussing each other like drunken fishermen one last time.
I quit drinking and smoking them 'ole nasty cigarettes years ago, but I am gone steal one of my son in laws cold beers and drink it down in a salute to you my friend.
I loved you in my heart and soul as much as any man can one to another without any of that rainbow shit.
Salute my friend and will say this time.... "Go With God"

To be called a "Has Been" I must surmise, is much Greater than to be called a "Nevah Been"... JW...

Dude !!!.... Its a Canal !!! Can you Dig it ??
Hey JPJW, old man of the sea, your unique voice is sorely missed here on sad & shrinking TRN. I never knew Merle, but your words make the space he left in your lives real to me. Sure Zuck-the-berg's creation has more glitz, a bigger audience, but you helped start this speakeasy, gave it character.
So you come visit us now & again to tell us a tale, ya hear?!
I only knew Merle through here, never met him. Part of Ye Olde Dangerous Atlantic Coast is gone.
Somewhat elaborate process to bury an Islander. Men bathe the body in civil orange, then they go and women come in to dress the body. Lot of little things along the way. Merle will be getting the full plate, he is 1 of the few Gringos that was truly accepted.
