Re: RIP Rosie Ruiz
It's interesting that she died July 8 and it took one month for the news to become public. It's a good thing Vandal didn't have a DorA game in the interim. Scoring that would have been a nightmare.

Well, since 1980, everything she does is double and triple checked. They wanted to make sure she was not cheating death.silverscreenselect wrote:It's interesting that she died July 8 and it took one month for the news to become public.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
