Apparently the local stoners like to go for a walk about the same time I walk Odie, so now I have an inexplicable craving for proper ring donuts, fresh out the fryer.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Tim Curry was basically the voice of my childhood. I will forever be annoyed that I am apparently the only one who wants Peter Pan and the Pirates on dvd.

In the UK a response of “not bad” can cover any state from “I have been bathed in the warmth of God’s light and know only bliss” to “the existential horrors of reality mean I am seconds away from caving in my own skull with this rusty pipe I found in the car park”
