I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Did a quick ‘n dirty (and very shaky) time lapse of one of my favorite #StarTrek mugs. (as the hot liquid goes in Natalie do they disappear from the transporter room, but they appear on a planet surface on the other side.)

I found this weird toothpaste in the garage and I started brushing my teeth with it. My teeth have never been stronger and all the holes are filled in. I'm never going to the dentist again!

"Every man has a go-to McConaughey film, a go-to Pitt film, a go-to DiCaprio film, and a go-to Gosling film." Every man has no such thing. Every man has a go-to Bette film, a go-to Joan film, a go-to Irene film, and a go-to Sylvia film.
