Newkill is the poster boy for "Parenting Classes" if his parents would have done a better job we would'nt have to deal with him. So let me pick up where your parents failed. Speaking ill of the dead shows you to have VERY LOW CHARACTER. Failing to realize that shows you have VERY LOW INTELLIGENCE. Remember this your behavior reflects onto your parents. . . . . do you like your parents?. . why would you behave like this? i wish you all the success in the world. . maybe you'll get famous and when you die it will be worthy of posting on a website, and some punk bitch tough guy wimp kid will post horrible things on your RIP forum thread.
we can only hope.
you ready for round 2?
Rip Dom.
My favorite Dom Deluise movie has to be "Cannonball Run" absolutely hilarious.
Its a shame that Dom RIP comment page was hijacked by some puss with masculinity issues, and yes Newkill we all know your a tough guy. . . lol

I'll always remember him as Tiger from An American Tail and Stanley from A Troll in Central Park
