What does it say about us that most people only remember him from a Pizza Hut ad

[freyguy 4245]

which balcony did he fall from?

There's an easy and very Surly joke about that stain finally coming off his head, but I'm not gonna be the one to do it.

Primary school me was intrigued by the port-wine stain, but I thought it uncouth to start this thread with that. So garbage pizza it is.

Yeah that would be totally inappropriate if any of us mentioned the head stain.

Same, I figured he passed at least a decade ago.

Yeah, nobody has ever said anything about cosmetic forehead things around here before.

In small town Texas, we were constantly told he had the Mark of the Beast on his forehead and the rapture was coming.

Seriously. Fuck I hated that town.

I’m an old and of course remember him. BIL has a piece of wall. I do not remember those commercials. 
 

I do remember the excitement of wall going down. Scorpions rep. Great hope at time. Too bad Yeltsin fucked up. Is that fucknut dead?

I came to say this. what in the actual fuck. I'm so lucky I didn't kill myself or wind up being murdered.

looks like he was the best of the bunch over the last oh I dunno 150 years?  what a fucked up swath of the world.

yeah he basically achieved the pinnacle of Russian rule by virtue that he wasn't a murderous zealot. at least not as far as I know. who knows what happened behind the scenes
