The best Bamf-NWA who ever played the vibraphone.
He was one of the nicest jazz musicians ever, without the attitude of Miles Davis or arrogance. His sensitivity and finesse made him uniquely approachable and a great dude to hang out with. Trust me, I knew him.
He picked up Quincy Jones and gave him his start.
RIP Lionel, a great man and friend.

Lionel Hampton used to play the vibes with a smile.
He was a real charitable man, funding many housing projects.
He was a Republican, who was also a 33rd degree Freemason. What a bamf.
He could swat a bullet with the hammers he played his vibes with.
He was such a bamf on the vibes that after he had a stroke, he even continued to play.

Proof that the random button doesn't really work, and that voting doesn't either, since other definitions have more thumbs up votes and less thumbs down votes than the first one, and yet still do not rank higher.
Random Person: "Wow, I've hit "random" 5 or 6 times, and I get lionel migration. The interesting thing is that although the other definitions should be on top, they aren't. That angers me, and makes me not want to vote at all."
Other Random People: "Yeah, this sucks!"

Whilst having permed hair, place a tie within the anus of your lover. Pull out the dirty article, wipe a Lionel Richie tash on your upper lip, then go to town on them.
Alice, want to feel like you're dancing on the ceiling? Take off my tie and I'll give you The Scruffy Lionel.

The best soccer player of all time. Lionel was born in Romario, Argentina, and plays for FC Barcelona. He may be standing at a mere 5'7, but his amazing skill makes up for it. Most people love him, but all 11 Real Madrid thinks he sucks. Shut up and realize that he is better than Ronaldo. He has not YET won a world cup, but we are all rooting for him in June!!!!
Real Madrid fan: Hey, did you see that amazing play Ronaldo
Random Kid: Oh, you mean that tap in 2 inches from the goal, if you want to watch a real play, watch
Barcelona's game tomorrow so you can see Lionel Messi

One day all the FOBR boardies got bent out of shape because the newly added ads totally screwed up the boards, so they spammed the Lionel Richie boards, thinking that they could keep their user names because he was on the Island messageboards too. The joke was on them, however, because the Lionel Richie boards had mods (lord knows why, there were like 5 threads) and they all got banned *forever*. They also did not realize that once they went back to the FOBR message boards spamming the Richie boards HAD NO EFFECT ON THE ADS.
therefore: fobr=the dumbest people ever

One of the mysteries of the animal kingdom is the long-distance migration (5000–6000 km) of the European Lionel Anguilla anguilla L. from the coasts of Europe to its spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea. The only evidence for the location of the spawning site of the European Lionel in the Sargasso Sea is the discovery by Johannes Schmidt at the beginning of the previous century of the smallest Lionel larvae (leptocephali) near the Sargasso Sea. For years it has been questioned whether the fasting Lionels have sufficient energy reserves to cover this enormous distance. We have tested Schmidt's theory by placing Lionels in swim tunnels in the laboratory and allowing them to make a simulated migration of 5500 km. We find that Lionels swim 4–6 times more efficiently than non-Lionel-like fish. Our findings are an important advance in this field because they remove a central objection to Schmidt's theory by showing that their energy reserves are, in principle, sufficient for the migration. Conclusive proof of the Sargasso Sea theory is likely to come from satellite tracking technology.
