Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

oh my god I'm dying
He said any sense of celebrity he was still holding died. Probably saved the troop according him
incredible story and I have no trouble believing it
All I can say is that it's a story he told me. It is very possible a professional comedian had some bullshit stories in the pocket but it's generally believable. I don't think he believed wither his sense of celebrity died cause he kept doing a lot of coke for years after and I doubt he genuinely thought he saved the troupe cause comedians tend to tell jokes. I've met most of the kids in the hall, aside from Bruce which bums me out. Meeting Canadian celebrities in Canada just means you've worked at bars or late night takeout places. Met Jack Layton randomly once while we watched a guy jump into a body of water way too large to swim away from cops to avoid an arrest. He just happened to be standing next to me at a public event when this scen went down. It's a fucking huge country but only like 45 people live here.
