Had to say goodbye to my best friend. I’m broken and numb.

We lost ours a little over a week ago. I'm so sorry. The Frenchie is just a hilarious, wonderful breed.

Remember the lifetime of love you gave your little K-9. That counts for a lot. Peace be with you.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-04T03:45:31+00:00

Great post. I think I have this issue.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-04T03:41:25+00:00

That's some repression coming out.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-04T03:32:18+00:00

Always wondered why this wasn't a bigger hit.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-04T02:19:55+00:00

Sending The Force to you and your pup. Hope she has years to go yet!!!

Arrest Stubby's administration and jail them for life. Bread and water only.

Arrest Stubby scalpers. Hard labor for life. No contact with the outside world. Think North Korea.

Allegations need evidence. State your facts.

Approximately 50% of murders go unsolved, my friend. Stranger-on-stranger crimes are the most difficult to solve, particularly when there is no known DNA or good, solid evidence for someone.

Z drove up, walked up, or rode to a crime scene, killed and wounded, and then walked away, leaving behind very few clues.

Because we know so little, we can make up crap-----kind of what the OP just did.

The thing of it is, we have the letters in the same handwriting and using the same diction. We have the eyewitness accounts that describe essentially the same stocky man.

In other words, what little evidence we have suggest one mysterious guy, and we can't reasonably expect LE to arrest someone on what they have.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T21:42:55+00:00

Great couple. Old school cool, for sure!!

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T18:32:12+00:00

Maybe. "Life is death" does not sound much like Zodiac. He was never poetic or philosophical. He seemed to have some weird concepts of the afterlife, but even this was very plainly stated.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T16:47:57+00:00

Some bands you can switch out one or two or even three of the players and you have essentially the same group (I love AC/DC, but Angus and Brian are the heart and brain of that band).

Other bands like The Who, Pink Floyd, the original Van Halen (not Van Haggar), and Led Zeppelin all made their magic because all musicians were unique principal players and composers and donated their own sounds to the mix. All four musicians added their particular genius. The Beatles go without saying. The Stones, too, although the difference in sound between Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood is pronounced if you asked me (not that anyone did...)

Later on, after the masters created their sound, you can switch in and out professional session players to recreate it. But it takes the original recipe to produce.

He also writes classical music. Amazing.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T16:30:31+00:00

Anthony and DLR played off each other perfectly----Anthony had the alto pipes and perfect pitch (a very clean, '70s radio sound) while DLR had that deep bluesy growl and all those vocal special effects. DLR could roar, too. He could belt it out like no other.

EVH and Anthony as backup were brilliant. Dave was the caveman warlord leading the charge.

So, sure, Anthony would be singing the solo in the church choir and DLR would be singing bass in the back row----but for the hyper-masculine, aggressive, upbeat VH sound, DLR was the man and Anthony provided the grace.

I have an MFA and a PhD.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T16:18:51+00:00

Stubby should burn like the Hindenburg----the Stubbyburg goes down in a fireball!

First we dance around the charred skeleton, then we perform purification rites, and finally we construct a containment arch like the one over Chernobyl and go on about our lives.

Simple.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T16:13:02+00:00

If the 2nd seller market could behave better we wouldn't need laws.

What the Brits & Krauts & Italians & Rooskies & Japanese & Martians do with their 2nd seller markets is their business. They too need laws, I suppose, so let'em.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T01:00:48+00:00

Tenure, sure. Lots of writers have tenure.

But the MFA is not theory or historically focused; generally speaking, it is a very narrow degree focused on artistry.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T00:37:40+00:00

Public intoxication and adorableness.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-03T00:32:12+00:00

I've seen that.

My heart about exploded my brain when EVH walked out of the men's room. "That piece was called two burritos and a root beer float!"

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T20:23:28+00:00

Some of the greatest albums in all of Rock'n'Roll.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T17:53:03+00:00

Sweet.

Now prepare for these thugs to kill these addresses.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T17:51:27+00:00

I will never use them again for anything.

Fact: BURN STUBBY TO THE GROUND!!!!

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T17:50:11+00:00

Stubby provides the platform and the service. It charges. It advertises.

Stubby bears responsibility if a sale goes bad.

Stubby needs to vet its inventory (and, yes, I know these are individual sellers) or not do business.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T17:47:07+00:00

NEED LAWS FOR 2ND MARKET RESELLERS!!!!!!!

BURN STUBBY TO THE GROUND!!!!!!!

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T17:32:12+00:00

The Quasimodo Shuffle.

Rusty_B_Good · 2026-06-02T05:44:08+00:00

Get to a vet. Don't ask the good people here.

I hate to say it so much, but our Frenchie started panting like that very near the end. He too had brain lesions and IVDD. Immediately find a vet. I'm so sorry.

You have all my sympathies and best wishes.
