Ulitzer95 12,585 Posted February 11, 2021 12 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: First he bought a zoo. Then he bought the farm. Officials said that the Little Ponderosa Zoo's founder and director, James Cox, died Tuesday. On Jan. 28, officials with the zoo said that he was in the hospital for heart surgery and that he had a weak heart as well as pneumonia. Cox was moved from critical care to the hospital's heart floor in late January, officials said in a post on Facebook. Then, they said he hoped to be home to recover before undergoing heart surgery. SC Zzzzz. Wish my heart would give out as well. It’d put me out of my misery instead of coming on here expecting to find quality content and instead seeing your daily dose of spam about non-notables. An obscure zoo owner who is about as notable as my left testicle. Outstanding SC. You’ve outdone yourself with that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loaded a U Roy track into our List of the Lost folder for the annual show of deceased talent.
