TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Outgoing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist wants a state pardon for long-dead rocker Jim Morrison, who was convicted of exposing himself at a raucous 1969 concert in Miami.

Crist said Wednesday he's convinced that prosecutors at the time were trying to make an example of The Doors lead singer rather than try a legitimate case.

Crist said, "We all have a responsibility where appropriate to seek forgiveness."

Crist will need the support of at least two other Cabinet members to approve a pardon, which may be more ceremonial since Florida doesn't have procedures for posthumous pardons.

Morrison died in 1971 in Paris while appealing his conviction.

Crist, a Republican-turned-independent, lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat earlier this month.

Nice idea, but a waste of effort, and taxpayer money. The guy is dead.

Roll eyes.Good luck,

I'm sure he got away with a lot worse to make up for the no pardon.

That's what you think.

Maybe he's alive and waiting to be pardoned?

Speaking of Elvis. Has anyone seen the movie Bubba Ho-tep?
Two guys in a rest home.
Bruce Campbell claims to be the real Elvis who switched palces with an impersonator who then died so nobody will believe he's the real Elvis.

Elvis: So I signed everything over to Sebastian. Except for enough money to sustain me if things got bad. I was determined to make myself a new life. A better one. But me and Sebastian, we had us a deal. If I wanted to trade back, he'd let me. It was all written up in the contract. Thing was, I lost my copy in a barbeque accident.

Ozzie Davis claims to be JFK and that Lyndon Johnson is still sending assassins after him. "Lyndon Johnson is dead" "that won't stop him!".

JFK: That's where they took a piece of my brain. They got it back in D.C. in that God damn jar.
[pause]
JFK: I got a little bag of sand up there now.
Elvis: But Jack uhh, no offense but
[pause]
Elvis: President Kennedy was a white man.
JFK: That's how clever they are. They dyed me this color, all over. can you think of a better way to hide the truth than that?

Dead junkies is dead junkies. Leave the past in the past.

I saw Elvis in Las Vegas last year. He was handing out towels in the hotel bathroom and told me "Thank you very much."

This is the end...

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire


Good drugs, good lyrics, good times. Who cares if they pardon him, certainly not Jim. He found out what was on the other side - I guess.

Remember his heartwarming lyrics, "Father I want to kill you. Mother I want to fark you."?

They just don't write lyrics like that anymore - do they?

I was at that concert---good times!

The killer awoke before dawn.
He put his boots on.
And he walked on down the hall.

That's the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Turkey...I want to kill you!

Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple.
This little game is fun to do.
Just close your eyes, no way to lose.
And I'm right here, i'm going too.
Release control, we're breaking through

The turkey dies this Friday or Saturday.

Andy, I hope you videotape it.

Actually have one of the boys interview Dawn about something while you do the turkey in the background. That would be epic.

No pardon for the Turkey.

I'd make the other birds watch.

Well, that speaks VOLUMES Bucket

I used to raise chickens. It was easy to catch the first few but I'm convinced, even as dumb as they are, they knew this was not a good thing. The last couple were hell to catch.

No Pardon.

Out of respect for my turkeys, I don't think I'll be doing any video. Feeling rather sad about the whole thing, actually. It will suck more than a little bit. I will take some photos of Big Tom and the hen after he's been processed, but not until they're in the raw. Been a good couple of birds.

I will however get accurate weights on both in the round and processed, and a photo of the finished product, on the table.

RR, I do like you idea of role playing. Maybe I'll do that with some of the chickens.
