I really hated the character of Bill Parr/Mr. Incredible.

He would be a Trump voter in real life.

They're both gone.

And Bill Saluga, a.k.a. Ray Jay Johnson outlived Redbone by 4 years, living to 2023.

Did you and Will confuse comedian Ray Jay Johnson for music artist Leon Redbone?

In an effort to cut overhead, most chocolate has devolved into nasty waxy stuff.

You have to pay top dollar for Dove or Kinder if you want good chocolate these days.

They're orbs of pure suger.

And chocolate candy quality has gone way down.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.
