Personal Legends - You must have one!!!

Stone Cold Steve Austin!!
Oh Hell Yeh!!

[Night Rider]

Change the word "icon" or "legend" to "inspiration" and I can name a few. But they're not my heroes or icons or idols.

Be the hero of your own life, man. Each one of us can be hero.

But, if you're talking about people who I think are cool as fuck, I have a list too and some have already been named. But it doesn't mean I try to be like them.

omg i didn't say u have to emulate them! ur taking this far too serious....

ok then lg, who inspires u, who makes ur life worth living...who the fuck do u love more than life itself

[Night Rider]

im not a him
and i dont know mofungo

i dident respond to your comment because you seem a lil sensitive to the subject

and the way lg put it makes a bit more sense

it was a bit of a piss take with the legends image and all so i think ur the one being sensitive...sounds to me like ur 'idol' is elton john but ur just to much of a bitch to admit it

[Jericho]

Impressive.

Been hooked ever since i read "The Devil Drives".

Maybe my greatest inspiration is someone you don't even know. I wouldn't put my life on the line just for anyone, although I may have taken the bullet for Robert Kennedy if it could have ended Vietnam and prevented Nixon's presidency, and would have stood side by side with Steve Biko or Nelson Mandela anytime.

But, you see, the ones who inspire me most are not famous. But life without them simply wouldn't be worth living. In them I've found my purpose in life. They are my inspiration. I have no need for heroes.

[Night Rider]

Fair point LG, each to their own. I wouldn't say these people are my heroes, just legends.

[I'm Cursed, I'm Irish]

Fuck me - post or don't post, but is every fucking thread a challenge? This was not a semantic war-of-words, as far as I could see. I mean, Jesus, we're posting on a message board for admirers of women with dicks... lighten up people.

Legends, Heroes, or Icons (in no particular order):

John Lennon
Hunter S. Thompson/Chas. Bukowski
Charlie Parker/Wes Montgomery
David Letterman
Thurman Munson

Where the fuck did that come from??

Good question, Night Rider. I'm not sure myself... a little bit of hostility, mixed with a bit of grape juice, add some negativity and 'hey presto'. I sincerely apologise for my irrational outburst, but let me respond to yours...

Now tell me what the fuck that has got to do with u!

Since you ask, Night Rider, this is a *public* forum. If it is a closed conversation, why not PM the intended recipients?

Are u his bitch or something?

Yes! I suppose I am 'or something', since I am not 'his' bitch.

... dont worry about it everyone makes mistakes....and u living proof..

I spot the mistake. I expect you meant "ur living proof".

... it's none of ur fucking business so fuck off.

As I have written earlier, a public forum is my 'business'; as it is the 'business' of anyone who has internet access and cares to read this forum, Sir. As a post script, I would like to ask if you carry a briefcase to this 'business'? Do you wear a tie/suit? I'd love a professional job that allows me to rant at a Hung Angels forum.

Ur the one obviously has personality issues if u think ur 'too cool' to have peple u respect.

It has nothing to do with 'cool', Night Rider. Life is too complex to spend time looking/sucking up to others. With a moniker like 'Night Rider', I assume you have delusions of yourself as the villain in Mad Max, or perhaps you're hassling the Hoff.

Being australian i thought u would like sally from home & away or something but im obviously wrong. What about alf??

??? I don't watch commercial TV, but I expect you do from your statement above. So who's Sally? And what about Alf? Wasn't he a furry muppet?
