That reminds me of the line from Get A life.
Chris holds up an X-ray of his chest. Someone looks at it and says, "Are those jacks? They made you eat jacks?"
Chris "No....but they're in me....."

I may have referenced this case before. Mike Gill, a prominent businessman in our area, who has a chain of mortgage loan offices, was displaying incendiary messages about other businessmen, elected officials, and judges. He just lost a defamation suit, and the defendants were awarded $274 million. For years, the electronic signs were unavoidable when you drove over the state line into NH.
Jury awards more than $274M in billboard defamation case

He started a website called "state of corruption", and he hosted a radio show with the same name. It was all geared towards shitting on those who've "wronged" him. The mortgage business is called The Mortgage Specialists.
 
I was going to put this in the Music forum, but
A) It's a SiriusXM Music forum, and this is general music, and
B) There's no RRHOF thread

I thought Bon Jovi was already in the RRHOF, there first record was released over 30 years ago.

I googled "rock and roll hall of fame qualifications"

Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists' contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.
