You fucking dolt. You maroon. You turnip-headed simpleton. You imbecile. You cretinous morlock. You finger-sniffing dimwit. You single-celled organism.

What if they just release a little Bond teaser where they show all of his body parts crawling across the ocean floor to reunite like the end of Iron Giant?

Off the shoulder is back this season and it is HOT

Make sure your sidearm is properly holstered

Who knew the center of the Venn diagram for financially secure Star Trek LEGO fans was the hot yoga instructor you slept with against your better judgment.

It’s not new. It’s called giving your roommate the first bong hit after you destroy them in pro clubs mode.

Don’t get annoyed by the end of the night teenagers out trick-or-treating. They fill a vital niche in the Halloween ecosystem. They gladly take all the bottom of the bucket Milky Ways you absolutely do not want to eat but surely would anyways.

Handing out four ounces of my homemade switchel to every trick-or-treater who comes to our door. “I sweeten it with molasses for a more authentic taste!” I yell after them as they run screaming down the street.
