Unfortunately, I can answer this. I used to work for a company that recruited test audiences. I got paid $15 for each person that showed up with my badge number on it. Most people assumed it was scam and the rest weren’t necessarily all there. We had a bunch of regulars too and just about everyone was weird as hell. These were upper west side New Yorkers and not exactly average people we were dealing with.

But I digress, Sam Neill was a legend and by all accounts a fantastic person. Here’s hoping it’s a shitty person for the third one

Isn't he the third one, after McConnell and Graham?

McConnell's camp released a statement and picture of him "alive".

I got some coastal property in a landlocked state to sell you, too.

“Deaths comes in 3’s” I think is what they are referring to

The first being Lindsey Graham.

Second, our dear Sam

Next…the asshole?
