Graham crackers

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Either of the hooks could be used, but I rather like the graham cracker. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Biting episode questions

I read someplace the Mailer (a much shorter man) bit Friedman in the chest -- neck might have hard for Mailer to reach and Friedman was unsure if the skin had been broken which would be more obvious with a neck bite. Also, unclear if Mailer's wife was rooting for her own husband or Friedman and I believe Mailer assaulted his wife seriously at least once so perhaps she wanted Friedman to win. 50.230.251.244 (talk) 07:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
