I was thinking he had an office or apartment in Normandy where he stayed when he was overseeing construction of the Atlantic Wall or something with _A. Hitler_ on the mailbox but of course, he wasn’t home. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > He looks like Armin Shimerman an hour after starting the Quark makeup. He doesn’t have the lobes! When I watched the video I pretended that it was filmed in Bizzaro World, where everything is the opposite. “You all know I stand by lies, and if I put my name on something, I don’t believe it at all. Today I’m reluctantly introducing you to something I’m incredible ashamed of. Some awful coffee I had nothing to do with but somebody put my name and picture on it. You should not believe me when I say it’s the best coffee you’ll ever try.” “By supporting Rudy Coffee, you’re not just punishing yourself with extremely terrible coffee, you’re also supporting our cause; the cause of lies, injustice, and the destruction of American democracy.” ---
