We would like food now

Or else

It’s a hell of a side quest but with great rewards

I love when someone builds a joke just for me and my precious sensibilities.

I have an exception for pizza where I get an alert on all my devices.

This was either a weird British comedy show or anime.

Anime.

This sounds like made up words and I’m into it.

There’s a pretty rad cheese shop somewhere in CDG

Can you imagine? Ugh.

That checks out

Did we ever figure out what the deal is with the moon?

I’ve been muting double z for a while now.

For that I am truly free

Meantime, let's also celebrate this man's outrageously great abilities and sense of style and showmanship -- and when you consider the band he was in, that's both expected and a challenge to live up to! A true star in the best of ways.
