Even as a kid back when malls were popular I hated them

I just thought I'd Red Foxx the other day! I was outside Baltimore at Vital Records filling out paperwork, and this man sounded exactly like him. Even his mannerisms were similar "Oh darn! I wrote my name where it says signature, what am I gonna do now?" (I tried to surreptitiously look to see if he was a doppelganger: he wasn't)

I see the guaranteed claim now has quotation marks, as if it changes the definition at all significantly.

Why don't you tell us what abhorrent preference "plenty of people" have that you're certain I don't tolerate?

Red Foxx use to roast the shit out of Aunt Ester. When I grew up I learned that he and Aunt Ester (Lawanda Paige) were best friends in real life.

That's not specific, and they will enforce their preference, so make up your mind.

Struggled today alternatively pushing and pulling on a huge door to exit a fast food joint and there were a couple people behind me asking, “What is going ON?” Not only was it a Norman door, but it was also kind of wedged closed by insulation and a floor mat. But I couldn’t explain all that and just looked like an idiot shoving and yanking at a door for a quarter of a minute.
