I mean, he's completely paralyzed so I'm not really sure he could do much with the hookers.

Completely off topic and apropos of nothing, it’s good to see you posting more, Tara. You bring a lot to this place.

I read this story, but it was more focused on his asking to hear Tool’s new album. And if it happened in Britain, I’d have covered it for Anglotopia in a heartbeat. It’d be better than waiting on the result of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” trial.
