today in the city of angels...

...Ryan Dunn's birthday* is being remembered in the manner of one of his favorite pastimes: an afternoon game of softball among friends**. The tournament teams have been sorted, the commemorative jerseys have been printed, and if Johnny Knoxville is the pitcher then it's safe to assume Jeff Tremaine is the catcher (even if that turns out not to be the case it still won't make an ass of you or me, so it's all good). Unfortunately I cannot make it to the park by game time due to certain insurmountable geographical circumstances, but I'm there hard—so hard—in spirit when I say, "Play ball! See you in the showers after the game."

* The correct birthdate is actually tomorrow, but it's obviously much easier to pull teams together on a Sunday than a Monday.

** As touched upon by Rick Kosick in his remembrances of Ryan here.

It's been nearly a year, and my mind still hasn't accepted his tragic passing. He was 1 of the tops, and by the sounds of it a great man. We all miss ya Ryan. Rest in Paradise, you meant the world to us all buddy. xxxx

Watching jackass, cky and viva la bam has not been the same ever since Ryan Dunn's death. I'm still in disbelief, growing up watching you guys for all these years I, and I'm sure so many others felt as though we actually lost a close friend. All you guys seem to have lived life to the full and were lucky enough to make a living having a laugh and hanging with your friends doing all that crazy stuff. Not very many people get to do that and I thank Ryan Dunn and the rest of you guys for bringing us so much joy watching you mess with each other.

I will never forget Dunn jumping into the shit tank, and sticking the 'car toy' up his ass. RIP Ryan Dunn.

Johnny Knoxville pitching and Jeff Tremaine catching, well that has just made my wandering mind take a turn off to that one track, as usual.
Ryan is missed and it doesn't really feel like he is gone at all. When I watch all the Jackass clips, movies, etc it's like he is still with us all.
Happy Birthday Ryan!

My brother Dan has a birtdhay today, he will be 30! We never knew it was the same as Ryan Dunn's birthday until he passed away last year. I was a huge bitch for the first 2 months after Ryan died. I'm not gonna lie, I was fucked up because of it. Ryan will always be remembered, and damnit boys, I want to see spitting, ball sac adjusting, and some wild pitches. Peace.
