Death Impends 7,361 Posted October 7, 2013 I figure he's only defied the odds a little and will still be chopped by the month's end, probably earlier. Latest update is he's back home to spend time with his friends and family which isn't exactly something you hear regarding a person that's gonna last a while yet... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
