Virgil the WWF wrestler passed

Very odd guy. At conventions and shows he was always very full of himself, would compare himself to other wrestlers and usually put himself first. He obviously wasn't super popular, but his ego made him something of an interesting commodity in his later years. Maybe that was the plan? RIP Mike Jones

He was always at our late mall (Schuylkill Mall) when we were younger near the arcade with a table set up. Very interesting dude...

As a die hard Sox fan, Tim's hit me hard. Now his wife? Rough

From what I understand, they were great people.

Funny dude. One of my favorites as a kid was the Mel Brooks comedy Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Lewis was great in that.

I saw that. What a sweet tribute he did to his son. Sounds like they had an awesome relationship.

His stand up was before its time. So neurotic yet funny. He would be wearing all black and talking about how he’s dressed like “Satan at a barbecue”. RIP

That would be a horrific way to go. I have to say if I was early stages diagnosed, I’d end it.

It doesn't mention it in that article, but he was also a member of the ND Fencing Team. Gone far too young.

Akira Toriyama passed away. He's probably best known as the artist that created Dragonball Z, one of the best selling and influential comics of all time. He's also known well by gamers as he was behind the art found in the popular video game series Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior, as well as the legendary game Chrono Trigger.

How does that innocuous statement get booed? From the bottom of my heart … fuck u both

Sometimes, the boos just escape me. Completely innocuous comments get booed or something irrefutably true gets booed. Roll your eyes and move on.

yeah I noticed…whiskey gone acamp gone. Cack averaging a post a week. Between the three new coons and a few other strong opinioned graceless serial posters this group is losing its charm.

In my opinion the issue is the attempted defense of Biden or making it seem like its not an indefensible mistake. Take politics completely out of it, our president was on one of his biggest stages of the year for him speaking about an issue that people care VERY strongly about regardless of which side of the fence their feelings and opinions sit. He was talking about a woman who was killed in relation to this very emotional topic and he was unprepared and couldnt take the time to make sure he even knew her name correctly. For perspective that would have been like Trump bringing up George Floyd in his state of the Union and calling him Greg Floyd or something. It would have been effed up and people would have been pissed, rightfully so. No different here.

There probably would have been an attempt on Trump's life if he called him "Greg Floyd"

I booed you bc you started with “in his defense…”. There is no defense to say the wrong name in that situation as the president. Just another fuck up to add to his resume. Sorry it bothered you so bad, but don’t defend a moron.
