RoyLatham styled himself as the world's oldest anime fan. Hard to imagine it tbh. There wasn't an ounce of fun in any post of his I ever read. And for his part I don't think he thought very much of me. But I was always a little in awe of him as a kid.

16 years ago I watched Great Teacher Onizuka on his recommendation. Just never fit for me.

Maybe he was more fun in his debates. I never read any of those.

When I first joined DDO I assumed that his age as in his late 60s was a joke and idolized him a little bit as a smart older guy, was definitely shocked to see his Facebook account that he was ACTUALLY that old lol. 

He traveled the world with his wife and always posted nature pics that stopped about three years ago. Someone in his comments said that he had died but I couldn’t find any obituary. It’s possible he’s still alive and just doesn’t post in his advanced age, if he is still alive he would be 78 now

Hey, I'm the same age as Trump (well a few months younger) and I still post.

Whenever I remember how old Trump is I’m always shocked (no offense), I mean being above the 90th percentile in age and still making decisions for people much much younger. The 1940s is a powerful decade, other than an 8 year blip the countries been ruled by men born in the 1940s since 1993. And during that 8 year blip of the four congressional leaders (Pelosi, Reid, McConnell, and Boehner) were all born in the 1940s except for Reid who was born in the very late 30s.

He grew up a spoiled brat minus military school.

He doesnt drink or do any unnecessary drugs.

He is still having the body of Jabba the Hutt somewhat but makes it work.

I reckon his drug abstinence is his main saving feature. I also reckon him pretending to work at McDonalds for a cringe photo op is the first time in possibly his life he ever went to one.
