    I mean look at that mugshot. Dude probably hangs dong like a forearm. Probably through a bush thicker than the Amazon rainforest. I don’t know why, but it just looks like when he unsheiths his member it hits the ground like Mjornir. He enters a room full of women and leaves it a mess of puddles and pubes. Probably stays well hydrated too.

    Good for him.

    My low stakes conspiracy is that Shel Silverstein is actually Grigori Rasputin. I have nothing to support this and I will not be accepting criticism.

      Shel wasn’t “born” until 1930, so that kinda works.

        I was going to say, and Jason Mantzoukas kind of gives me similar IDK i am going to pursue my art across whatever genre it goes FU i am having fun DEAL WITH IT vibes but he was born 25 years too early. also he is a tv/film guy, not a music/poetry guy so the analogy breaks down but if i am ever at an event with him again i am going to have to tell him the thought occurred to me because i think he would like it.

    If they were of legal age and it was consensual then good for him, I guess? Who cares this much about someone else’s love life? Honestly…
