Come on guys... It costs the government millions of dollars to get someone into witness protection. Why do you guys insist on outing Tony like that?

Now what you folks fail to realize is that Vanilla is a very, very complicated program !
Sure, it can ban someone within 1 hour if that person says "Booger Eater", but recovering a user's name and password ?
It's a Herculean task that can only be rectified by magic !!

Some of my comments have put a bullseye on my back. The Mueller investigation has subpoenaed all my records from Vanilla, so I must be in Vanilla purgatory.
That's all I can think of.....the only person that knows where I buried things was my dog, and she's dead too.
As a side note, there has been a white plumbers van parked down the street for a few days now. Coincidence ??
I dunno man, My sonos is fubared, my Netflix is having fits, and my Polk account is fooked up, and I've had Jehovah witnesses come to the door, someone is **** with me. -

There are three things that give a man a false sense of courage, a keyboard, alcohol and a firearm.

My understanding is Vanilla Purgatory was one of the performing names that didn't test well in focus groups held on behalf of this guy.

Jesse does have a boat....an Italians best friend, next to cinder blocks and rope. So if you ever see Jesse and me hanging out on his boat, you can bank on the membership count being at least one less the next day.
When you get an invite from Jesse to go fishing, be scared. Last person to get that invite was PFB, heard from him lately ? Just sayin'...
