The actor that played Tinkie Winkie on Telletubies passed away.

Which one? I think they recasted Tinky Winky two or three times. They fired the first guy over that whole gay controversy started by that American pastor.

Ooh. I think he was Tinky Winky #2, but he seems to have been the most well-known of the Tinky Winky's . . . or, at least, whenever there are rare interviews with the cast, he's usually the one they include.

Nevertheless . . . froze to death. Wow.

I don't even know what Piggly Wiggly is like, we don't have them where I live.

Then again, we don't have 7-11 either, though I know they're a major convenience chain.

It's funny how we're a major city, yet we have more local chains and such than we do major national chains.

I've only been one once or twice, and they're not spectacular.

Also, I have never been in a 7-11.

My aunt’s retired now because she got laid off and my cousin moved out and now lives in an apartment in another part of New Hampshire.

People are smoking out of crabs now.

People are smoking out of crabs now.

People smoke crab?

Looks like it now, yeah.
