RIP, Wilder.

Afraid I've been expecting Wilder to go for quite a while now. May he and Gilda have had a fond reunion.

Man nothing says "no plans to socialize tonight" like having a can of tuna and a box of garlic chive crackers for an afternoon snack.

I'd assumed Bob Ross's hair was a perm. The curls just didn't look right for it to be natural.
