I’d be willing to bet even if you pay the 5,000 you wouldn’t be getting fabric from that actual suit. Donald Duck is such a grifter even his grifts are grifts

Don't call this POS Donald Duck. Donald Duck canonically is a War Vet with PTSD that constantly was griping at Scrooge for not helping the community enough. Donald Duck is based AF.

Plus he didn't have pants to cut up

As far as I'm aware. I read the comic it's a part of. They went to Egypt to try to excavate a tomb IIRC, but I'm probably conflating two different comics.

In the 90s there were enough “pieces of the Berlin Wall” going around to build the Great Wall of China. I suspect it will be something similar.

There's a little monument in my city that has a piece of the Berlin Wall on a stone pedestal. There's a plaque commemorating the fall of the wall. Underneath is a smaller, newer plaque that says "this is not a real piece of the Berlin Wall"

I wonder if they got grifted by one of those fakes in the 90s, that would explain it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

There are legitimate pieces of the Berlin Wall. You just need to have a picture of it before it came down and you can identify it by the graffiti.

Not to mention, he never actually had a mugshot.

Wow, just looked it up you appear to be correct 👍

Although from what I see he did have a mugshot taken in Fulton county but the famous one is fake

People who downvoted this comment can lick my taint. What keeps you on lemmy when everyone trashes your guy? Slurp that shit like a porno, make it tingle.

Grabs bag of coke. Step right up folks, step right up!

If only Donald was larger than 6'3" and 215 lbs he might have more suit pieces to go around!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's probably larger than one of those dimensions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

(That's the joke!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

This was my first thought. No way donnie would give up one of his cheap ass suits for this.
