dude was an absolute character

In between those events, he won 22 games for the Philadelphia Athletics; […] toured the nation in a melodrama called The Stain of Guilt; courted, married, and became separated from May Wynne Skinner of Lynn, Massachusetts; saved a woman from drowning; accidentally shot a friend through the hand; and was bitten by a lion."

the wikipedia just RANDOMLY DROPPED that he was bitten by a LION with no context?!?

    Grandpa: I don’t have autism wtf are you talking about

    Also Grandpa: I’ve meticulously organized my workshop and have a massive array of jars with lids fastened to the bottom side of my shelves; they are organized, in order, according to type, outer diameter, inner diameter, and finally, metallurgy.

      It’s good to be orgranized and it ain’t no flex to not be BUT it’s the passion that really seal the deal here. It’s like how I don’t manage my cables simply because I like to be neat but more that I manage them because if they aren’t organized I cannot function at full capacity just knowing that things are a mess.
