One was Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland. He was Captain-general of the cavalry at the siege of St Quentin under Mary I of England. Under Elizabeth I he served successfully and she made him Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and Rutland, Knight of the Garter and President of the North. Not long before his premature death he completed the building of Belvoir Castle.

His tomb, in the centre of the chancel next to that of his father, is of alabaster and considered unique. The effigies lie beneath a decorated example of an Elizabethan dining table on heavy carved legs, suggesting an attempt to represent a communion table. Earl Henry is depicted in armour of conventional pattern except that the breast plate is made up of laminated plates. He wears a coronet and his head is supported on a tilt-heaume. He is wearing a chain nearly reaching his thighs, and the Order of the Garter is on the left leg. He holds a closed book in his right hand and a sword in his left. At his feet is a hornless unicorn. His wife, Margaret, also wears a coronet and is dressed in the style of the time, with an ermine-trimmed mantle. Her head rests on a scroll and her feet on a lion.

I have a feeling you've already gotten a ticket or two for "driving" a car, Jerry.

The question was what would people remember about you. Not what you'd remember about some other guy.

I'll be remembered for as long as there is a chance money can be made from my name.

Which is the long way of saying, "I'll be remembered by debt collectors."

I will be remembered for saying "Obama is an asshole".

I do take comfort in knowing that my two step kids (who I pretty much raised) will probably remember me fondly for the rest of their days.

Anyone that can say about step-kids is a modern hero in my eyes. Kudos to you my friend.

See? Now that's what I'd say. But my trophy wife, she will be remembered for saying "he's a ...
traitor
muslim
socialist
communist
cop-hater
anti-American

I don't argue with her. There is abundant proof of all of it. And, she's my trophy wife, so there's that!
