Spoken like a true Verm, Verm...and as Verm's go, you're the best damn Verm
ever!
Really!
Of all the Verms, YOU are Verm numero uno.
That's number one Verm to those of you that live where Spanish isn't the
second language.
...and another thing...is it DIMbag or DIMEbag? Just curious.
Possible reasons for disgusting attack on said musician:
1. Porked the wrong groupie.
2. Owed for many dimebags.
3. Screwed up the chord changes to the gun-toting asshole's favourite
Pantera Song.
4. RIAA sanctioned hit for his downloading practices.
5. Missed Alimony payments.
6. Ex-wife's boyfriend is well armed and dumber than a sack of hammers.
7. Missed a payment on the Hummer.
8. Forgot getting high with the shooter 20 years ago and couldn't remember
him.
9. Learned the ultimate price for calling somebody's girlfriend/wife a "Ho".
10. Mistaken for "Dimbulb Doorbell", mediocre rap artist with a penchant for
dissing 'yo ass.
Sorry...
If I don't laugh at this shit, I'll open fire myself.
For John...
