They say you should never meet your heroes, you'll just be disappointed. I say, 'then you need better heroes'. Pete and Bas are two of the kindest, funniest, classiest human beings I've ever met. You'd never guess they are hard-core rappers if you didn't already know. #fuckcancer #igotthis

@rexparker.bsky.social a single 'tum' is also just fine. I mean, you wouldn't want to tell an OG gangster otherwise, would you?

@rexparker.bsky.social You know rap better than me... is there anyone other than Pete and Bas rapping about crosswords in their songs? Do any of them make it sound this badass?

Just chuck 'em on the bar tab
Tip to waiter, 'Have a nice a day'
Ice in the pail of the champagne Cava
Text from a side piece "on my way-
Been a little while ain't seen you lately, How's your father?"
Cut to the chase

If anyone had ever told me that I'd spend nearly $3K to fly to the UK for a concert to watch a couple white guys in their 70s do hardcore gangster (with the 'r') rap, I'd have said you were nuts. I hate rap music, but these guys are so good, it doesn't matter. They're better than your fave rappers.

It's just as much a minefield as in-person dating, except you can weed out the idiots and posers BEFORE you waste face time on them. I met my hubby on SilverDaddies and we just had our 10yr wedding anniversary. Hang in there. You're sexy and adorable. The right guy will find you.

When you make a once-in-a-lifetime trip to an amusement park halfway around the world from where you live, you do NOT let a torrential downpour stop you from riding all the coasters!

Ever seen a "moonbow"? It's a rainbow, but made in the middle of the night, when the sky is clear and the full moon is bright enough and there's enough mist in the air. Extremely rare to catch one. This one happened at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Sept 13, 2019
