RIP Virgil

[Matt]

My friend is friends with a Virgil who lives in my city. He's also Black. Apparently, he had owed some money or caused trouble in some other circles, so he was called "N***** Virgil" by someone he was on bad terms with.

I think racial epithets are loathsome. So I then started referring to him as "NV".

I was not familiar with the NV in the OP. He looked pretty young, or at least...not old.

May he RIP.

I remember Virgil from Thunderbirds, unfortunately he isnt relevant in this thread because he wasnt black

Tonight I’m attending a vigil for Virgil. For those who are interested, there’s a $20 entry fee. See you there!

Setting up autograph tables in the subway isn’t exactly the definition of hustling.

 I when it comes to work ethic Virgil makes Big Lou look like Arnold.

True.  Sort of.  What other skills did he have?  He was clinging to past glory (for what it was to him) and doing what he could to get a dollar.

When you think about it, there are very few wrestlers that have ended their run - by retirement or lack of prospects - and have a nest egg set up.

‘Member when Virgil stood up to the Million Dollar Man, and hit him with the Million Dollar belt? Boy, was Ted steamed. That’s when Virgil peaked

I believe he had a Mathematics degree and taught for a while after he stopped wrestling.
