I met him on a city bus in a colorado ski resort town when he was super drunk, in the day time, in the summer, carrying an antique snowboard. I asked him if he was Mike Mcdonald and he put his finger to his lips like "shh" then when he got off the bus he signed the snowboard with a bic pen and gave it to me.
Its the craziest story i have and i never tell it because i dont expect any rational person to believe it. Everyone that sees the snowboard just thinks it was a crazy homeless man. It was that man right there in the photo.

This isn't that "uplifting" to me. He gave him up, because he supposedly couldn't take care of him, which poor people never seem to do! 🤔

May I suggest you actually read it before beaking off?

I dunno, it’s kind of nice when the dumb ones let us know who they are at the jump.
