I was having breakfast in a bakery in Prague, when I walked out and saw a bench with a plaque saying "in memory of Matthew Parry" that died in 2022.
I thought "aw man he's been dead for a year and I didn't know". I didn't realize it was a different last name.
This happened yesterday. When Mathew Perry was found dead. Imagine my face waking up and reading the news the next day...
The matrix glitched
Somewhere, someone plotting parallel universes/Mandela effects on the wall like IASIP Charlie and "Pepe Silvia" is busting out the red string, and pacing back and forth, having just started another pot of coffee.
Now let's talk about the bench. Can we talk about the bench, please Mac? I've been dying to tell you about the bench all day, OK?
RIP narcissistic addict
For real though his auto biography made him appear like an asshole. Curious if this will be an OD or accidental.
Addictions a motherfucker. Hope he has peace.
Being that he was a longtime alcoholic and was found drowned in his hot tub, it's a pretty solid guess what happened. Not a rare way to go.
