Carnival of the Vanities #200 – Acidman Memorial Edition…

Jim remembers Rob in the context of their most unlikely friendship, between a Yankee lawyer and a Jawja cracker.

Later, in one of the funniest posts ever, Jim puts us there when Rob meets up with St. Peter. …

Godspeed, Acidman….

After a two-week hiatus, I find that Rob Smith has died. Damn. Just damn. The blogosphere will be much less interesting without the Acidman. Wow, that’s an understatement if ever there were one. Gut Rumbles was one of the first…

J, I’d like to extend my condolence on your loss. It was a beautifully written tribute. One which made me wish I had read his blog & known him.

May the sadness & bitersweet memories pass into the realm of the fond & sweet soon enough.

I have to stop reading these posts or I’ll never stop crying. Moving tribute Jim. I knew right away he was a player too, and I never heard him play. I just had a gut feeling. That’s what attracted me to his blog in the first place. It sure wasn’t the politics….

Thanks Jim. Yep, one of the things that cracker and I agreed on was that lawyers, politicians, and preachers alternated at the top of our all time shit list. But then since he didn’t hold it against you neither will I. Like he said, there are some good yankees, but the percentage is kind of low. The good ones liked acidman.

Can’t really add to what everyone’s said, Jim. Just letting you know I liked it. A lot.

A beautiful and loving tribute. Thanks, Jim. Hearing you, Rob, and Denny play in Austin was one of the highlights of the trip…now it will be an untouchable memory.
