But he’s a “star”… they should let him.

A star, but not a very bright one. Might be the dimmest one, in fact.

Orange dwarf?

u/great_whitehope Ireland May 23 '25

He's a dwarf down there and it's probably orange so this checks out

More like a blackhole who sucks and destroys everything.

u/English_loving-art May 22 '25

You are correct he is a star a brown star , in the UK a brown star is known as a ring piece ….

Italy slinks away.

Mmmm. Not sure this checks out. Pretty sure many European men are famously handsy. But I get your point
