   Sometimes.   
      
   I had no idea shitv was so old.  He used to froth and curse like a   
   twenty-something with no control of his emotions.   
      
   And I'm sure there have been a bunch more "cola deaths" in the last   
   10-20 years.  Such as GreyCloud, who talked about his 100 year old   
   mother, and said he had already lived longer than he thought he would.

   It's interesting that you know that.  I remember a few kids from   
   grade-school days, but I went to 6 different elementary schools (my   
   crazy mother moved us around every year) and have no friends from back then.

   I did too, overall.  When he wasn't talking homo trash he could be   
   agreeable, but he also liked to fight and curse 'Wintrolls'.   
      
   He recorded 109 songs:  https://www.soundclick.com/martivanlin

   heh!   
      
   As I recall Marti was 5'6" and 220lbs, so that's a clue to his early death.
