Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???

We lost yet another icon yesterday.  Alvis Edgar “Buck” Owens has died at his home in California.  He was 76.
Buck Owens was a country swing star long before country swing was cool, and long before I’d ever heard of him.  I first noticed this man when he teamed with another country singer named Roy Clark to host a comedy program called “Hee Haw” – one of the most popular shows of all time – which ran in first-run prodcution for nearly 20 years, and is still in syndication today.  It was a show that didn’t have an agenda, other than to make America laugh.
No preaching, no political correctness, none of that – the cast & crew of Hee Haw  wanted to make you laugh, and that was it.  And, they never failed to do precisely that.
Godspeed, Buck, and prayers for your surviving family.  You will be very much missed.

Nutscrape,
if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
And don't even get me started on Opera or Chrome. I'm not about to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
Buck was one of a kind. I liked him even before “Hee Haw”, but I grew up on country (in the Nashville area then, you didn’t have much choice). Our loss is a gain to the house band in heaven.
SAAAAAAA-LUTE!
