RIP His soul is escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

Who is the third since they come in 3s? Can we lose one bad one for the two good? I’ve got someone in mind.

> Curry had a stroke while receiving a massage

This happened to an acquaintance of mine. He had a pain in his neck, and went to a chiropractor. The chiropractor massaged his neck, which released a blot clot that went into his brain and gave him a stroke. His life afterwards was severely degraded. He was only in his 40s.

I'll never let a chiropractor touch me.

I was horrified that after his stroke they kept rolling him out in a wheelchair to perform for fandom nerds.

Guy should have been allowed to live the rest of his life in dignity quietly, tending to his garden, not tap dancing for 40+ year old adults still obsessed with "The Time Warp".

His tacky, over the top performance / role in Sorted ruined that otherwise nice movie.
