The Official Kenny Rogers: Real American Hero Poll!

[Symarip]

Right or wrong, this man is an American icon. He wussified Country music, made a shitty movie (and a few shitty made for tv miniseries), started a restaurant and is a walking infomercial for Indian casinos. Which one is your favorite?

1. Doesn't even look like him

Maybe it's just the angle, but I would never have know who it was.

[Symarip]

2. He defies age!

Take a note, Chuck Norris.

[redqueen]

3. Had to go with the roaster.

Cause of Seinfeld.

[Symarip]

4. ooOOoo

I forgot about that episode until I looked it up on wikipedia.

[redqueen]

5. It made me really want to try that chicken.

Never did though... just couldn't quite bring myself to actually go there.

[Symarip]

6. I've never seen one in real life

Are they still in business?

By the way, I can't believe Islands in the Stream got a vote.

[redqueen]

7. Well, that is what we are.

:)

And no, I don't believe they are.

[Symarip]

8. Dave Attell once said

You got to know when to hold em and when to fold em, fucker.

[redqueen]

10. *GASP!*

He's a very rude man!

18. How the Hell did that song ever sell as "country music" anyway?

It was written, produced, and more or less performed (aside from the lead vocals) by the fucking BEE GEES.

And that's about as anti-country as you can get. So anti-country that when Barry Gibb bought Johnny Cash's house after Johnny & June had died, God himself decided it was better to torch the place than allow the hairy faced disco monkey to live there.

[Symarip]

19. Don't hold anything back

Just let it all out. Don't worry. We're here for you.

20. I was trying to avoid this thread altogether.

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

9. No respect for the Gambler?

:shrug:

[Symarip]

12. Hey, listen...

You NEVER count your money when you're sitting at table.

13. I remember, I think it was Christopher Titus on some VH1 special, saying how his dad

took that song really seriously on a philosophical level, and would always quote the lyrics. :rofl:

[Swede]

11. You picked a fine time to leave us loose wheel.

:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

14. Why is he a hero?

[nomorenomore08]

15. menwholooklikekennyrogers.com gets my vote.

Just because it's, like, one of the most genius ideas ever for a website.

[elshiva]

16. Voted for Six Pack, It's so bad, it's good.

I remember watching this movie. Kenny Rogers and six kids in an RV or something? What I remember especially is this song that the kids sang:
"Rocky Top!
Rocky Top, Tennersee!
There ain't no corn in Rocky Top,
So we drink it from a can..."

[Drunken Irishman]

17. The MadTV skits starring Will Sasso.
