Gutted, and I only saw her on screen. You have that personal, working memory, so I know "gutted" doesn't begin to work. My condolences, @nicholehiltz.bsky.social, and I know her memory is a blessing.

No, he is 54. Something in me just thought 62 sounded funnier. Maybe because he's younger thsn I am (I'm 56), so I needed to make him older than me for comedy purposes.

62-year-old male has opinions about how 18-to-21-year-old women style themselves. These opinions should be the unheard mumblings of a guy who's had the same seat at the bar since '97 & has not had anyone beside him on either side of his barstool since '98. Not a guest slot on Fox News' opinion show.

I know. He's younger than I am (56). "62" just felt funnier for me when I typed it.

They fact-checked the least important inane statement from him! Building materials. Nothing about his claim that the city is "burning down," which is not true. What, if there's a housefire in Portland, OR., any single day, we can't correct him, as a building in the city would be "burning down?"

That's a funny close-encounter story. Did you and your friends take one of his demos? Or was he just forcing them on people? We all start somewhere. He had to climb up from his childhood mansion ...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.
