Does this mean the Wings have to be eliminated twice?

I am Spartacus, but I am Benj Hellie. How can this be? How can I be both? And in this context, is Benj Hellie not also Kirk Douglas? Are we one that is also a triumvirate? I have had 100mg of THC. The THC is also Benj Hellie.

Context, we just culled the mugs a couple months ago and are near overflowing again. But anyone out there, with Starfleet Academy about to start you can’t go wrong with Adam and Ben making loving fun of new Trek on Greatest Trek. And you too might just win, for some reason, a mug for The Wire.

TMNT logo that says “Stephen Miller Only Mayo”

I had previously put on up that said “Stephen Miller Mayo Only” but I deleted it because where your brain puts the comma could really make for some nightmare fuel.

I said elsewhere that Linehan is bizarrely willing to blow up his life over this. But also, this conceptualization of loyalty is bizarre. If you and I have been through the shit, even if you built my career, I wouldn’t join what I knew to be a hate group for you. Loyalty is not servitude.

I like that SongKick makes it look like they’re offering me tickets to Bob Dylan’s doctor appointment.
A screen cap of an Apple that shows you concert dates. Visible are Kraftwerk, Sun, March 30th at the Orpheum Theater, Bob Dylan, Fri, April 4th at Mayo Clinic Health System, and Lissie Sat, April 5th at the Palace Theater. The app’s little square has cut Event Center from the name of the Vance Dylan is playing.

They can be beautiful too. I have a couple of really lovely rosewood mezuzahs with a kind of Frank Lloyd Wright or art deco vibe. Probably getting the description wrong. You can embrace tradition and culture in a meaningful way without having to believe.
