Sounds super fun.

You'll practically gorge yourself to death within the pages of any given GT or PGT.

Whoa whoa whoa… go easy on him. That’s a little too much for the uninitiated.


Though, I do think he would have a lot of fun if he hosted his own post-game call-in show. I’d listen to Sliver trying to deal with drunken fans after a bad loss.

A tall, doped up Lake Bonavistian, riding around on a rascal while eating black licorice cigars doesn't count?

Damnit DoubleF. You've ignited an immense craving for black licorice.

He’s mentally old, yet relatively young. It’s like Benjamin Button was based on him.

I always thought black licorice was a waste product from something more palatable. Like vegemite/marmite or chicken feet. I am surprised it’s manufactured because of actual demand.

Did you forget who you're talking about?

Garage parties. This is Sliver we're talking about.

Last I heard he was contemplating bunk beds or something for the garage?

I remember something about hazmat suits when they go visit their friends with pets and wanting to keep people from entering his home without socks.

I wonder if he ever got that bunker he was going to build finished. Ah well definitely not a schtick. It’s adorable though, keeps things interesting when there’s a lull in reality. It’s like a trip to the carnival yknow?

I do vaguely remember a discussion like that stemming from his commentary.

I was going to post a link for black licorice to tempt you... but then I went down a weird black licorice rabbit hole... They sure do strange things to black licorice.

https://www.amazon.ca/Licorice-Kilo-...%2C122&sr=8-37

"School chalk" licorice? (mint coated?)

https://www.amazon.ca/Licorice-Bag-P...06JZN9FS&psc=1

"Witches screams"? (And why would black licorice be salted?)



https://www.amazon.ca/Yupik-Black-Li...%2C122&sr=8-26

Black licorice jaw breakers? Almost seems like it's borderline a South Park reference.

Dude. I DID do this! I'll take a photo and show you. They turned out so sick.
