My first car was a ‘57 Chevy. It wasn’t a sexy candle-apple-red coupe, it was a white four-door sedan. A barge. But it had the fins. My god, the fins. It cost 2,000 bucks. In 1985. My dad surprised me with it. He found it Hemming’s Motor News. His bible.

I mean there’ll be a lot to dismantle in DC once he’s gone, but I say we start with what he’s done to the Capitol dome.

I mean I’m not from Jersey but I grew up close enough that I could whip a battery and hit it so guess this works. I did spend my formative years manifesting a reaction formation to my parents’ DelCo accent, so that might complicate things a bit, hon.

Let’s go ahead and rename these jamokes while we’re at it. America Geese makes more sense anyway. I mean it’s not like they’re polite or good at improv.

So lookit the knotty pine came with the house. We’re stuck with it for now, but it will change. (And yes, I do quote AHS Jessica Lange in re: knotty pine, often. Incessantly. F finds it hilarious every time. He’s not sick of it at all.) Anyway not the point. The point is THIS inquisitive bitch.

My grandfather had a garden; he would take me out to it every time I visited and god I was so bored. Dirt and zucchini or whatever. Woo. But we’re doing tomatoes and basil and sage and cilantro and he didn’t tell me you can like rub the leaves between your fingers and it’s fucking magic.

The full review has a few cheap shots at Bruce Willis - years before his condition was public - that I can’t stand by. But this is a solid joke that I stand by and I stand by it hard. I stand by it like I’m Wil Wheaton & the night has come & the land is dark & the moon is the only light we’ll see.

Here’s that deep dive into Fezziwig lore you’ve all been clamoring for since 1843 Who is he? Where does he come from? What does he want? Who caters his parties? Does he have like a go-to events planner or does he mix it up, depending on the occasion? Does he offer guests a choice of chicken or fish

Watching Pacific Rim, and wondering if we covered it on the show, and it turns out I reviewed its sequel and took the time to address the performative snobbery that films like Pacific Rim and its sequel and superhero movies are subject to, and indont hate it.

F: Complains that I’m killing them and takes over. Deluges the plants daily. Sometimes twice or three times. Does no research. Why do research? Plants need water, duh. The plants bloom, exult, thrive. You have just learned everything there is to know about our relationship.

To YOU, it really really seems to. A tremendous lot. An amount that seems exhausting, frankly. To THEM, though? The bros whose merest grudging, diffident tolerance you’re chasing? Honey. You might want to sit down for this.

1. I will not brook this Brenda Vaccaro erasure. 2. While we’re at it, Peters Cook and O’Toole? Fire your agents. You shoulda gotten a percentage. 3. Selena ate in the maxi-challenge but now she’s out here on the main stage trying to work a bodysuit AGAIN.
