Salute to "Impenitent" (Jim Guinn, USMB Vet and Political Poet/Satirist)

[emilynghiem]

Jim Guinn Sr. obituary from the HET South Texas Chapter newsletter

Just got the news from his son that USMB veteran Jim Guinn "Impenitent"
passed away last October, leaving behind a daughter and a Veteran son with grandkids.
And a host of poetry and songs mocking rightwing politics from an old
School Democrat perspective (including a Musical on Mitt Romney
and a poem about Obama that got him banned off a website or two).

I had started trying to edit Jim's work on a blog
www.jimguinn.com
www.jimguinn.net
but didn't get very far.

He has more work, and has gotten booted off more political forums and in trouble with more
mods and websites than I could ever claim as a fellow patron of the art of political parody.

If anyone has links to his threads, posts or messages you would like to add here,
please join in this tribute to our good friend "Impenitent" I was very fortunate to know
and share our love of writing in the short time our lives crossed paths.

Special thanks to USMB for making that window possible
that shed light and laughter in some very unfunny areas of politics.
Will truly miss my friend and his delightful stories songs and poems.

With love and respect, and
Hats off to Jim!

Emily Nghiem

RIP Jim.

They ran you around here, banned you more than once for being me and yet you remained the gentleman throughout.

Even now I am more thankful I stood up to them for you.

Salute to "Impenitent" (Jim Guinn, USMB Vet and Political Poet/Satirist)

And he surely was part of our group down here. Even if ...

I think a few prayers sent his way would be nice. He's got mine.

 

[mdk]

How awful!

Rest In Peace, Impenitent.

 

[ChrisL]

Oh no! That is terrible news. RIP Impenitent.

 

[westwall]

I am very sad to hear this. RIP Impenitent. You WILL be missed.

 

[mdk]

Impenitent was a card and will be sadly missed in the FZ family. Rest In Peace.

He made me laugh a lot, his games with music lyrics and shifting them to usmb or left/right.

We were political opposites all they way, but he had a good heart and that's really what counts in the end. He wasn't into the game even if he was drawn into it.

Sorry to hear.
We used to call him Impertinent in the heat of battle. He didn't mind. I liked him...

 

[BlackSand]

Thanks for the link here Ropey ... I probably would have missed Emily's thread otherwise.
Jim was an okay guy ... And we had fun throwing lyric at each other a few times.

[Ropey]

I remember when he first came here. He was using a phone device and it wouldn't allow him to paste the code for youtube in the format that would display a youtube video.

Just the link would show. I sometimes reformatted them so they would show as a youtube video.

I've always appreciated minds that are different and his was a special one.

May impenitent find his penance not too dear.

We met in the writers poetry corner.

It was great.

Then capstone came in and they really kicked it off. I was outnumbered and just mostly after that.

 

[Sarah G]

I was thinking about Impenitant the other day. So sorry to hear he passed away. Nice guy.

 

[Ropey]

And no, it's not making it about me as one person said to me...

It's about making the connection between him and me.

We had many, many long pms.

Maybe this person doesn't know how to make those connections. They're two way.

Very sad news.

 

[Ropey]

Here he still is.

Words Come And Go

 

[Sonny Clark]

It's really sad.
We never know the day nor the hour.

Rest in peace, Impenitent.

Everybody talks about my penis.. When they say penis - they mean impenitent. When they say impenitent - they mean penis. It's like the opposite of saying stiletto.
