I do not, but I grew up on Long Island. 🤷‍♀️
Delivered to mailroom = they left it in a pile on the exterior stoop!
Sunday afternoon subway: marathon runners, volunteers and fans holding signs, theater goers with playbills, tourists with a dog.
The date has moved twice in my lifetime. The candy lobby eventually succeeded in moving it post-Halloween to make more money. No joke.

Koikichi the crow is the goodwill mascot of Karasumori Shrine in Shimbashi, Tokyo. He is said to bring good fortune in love, and if you take a photo with him, you will find romance.

If you are a US citizen who has been scanned by one of these pls hmu. You might have a chance to do the funniest thing.
New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

The only time I raised my voice in five seasons of LEVERAGE was telling the TNT exec that if he sent cease and desist orders to the makers of fan videos on YouTube that I would quit the show and take an ad out in the Hollywood Reporter explaining why.

Once was a king called Ozzy (MANDIAS!)
Had a wrinkled sneer to cold (COMMAND US!)
Wanted all the peeps to despair at his (WORKS!)
Giant statue of himself lookin like a (JERK!)
Statue broke down in the endless (WASTE!)
Only legs left and a busted (FACE!)
There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said “Look on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.
I heard there was a statue tall
That sneered at folk and commanded all
But you don't really care for symbols do ya
It goes like this the feet the fist
The head that fell the aim that missed
The long lost king whose name was Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymaaaaandias
Yes, I freeze my potato leek soup. Just leave out the dairy and add it when you defrost.
Eating chocolate at 1:30am ... it's been that kind of day/week.
Yay! It sounds so good!!!

June Lockhart was the last surviving winner from the 2nd Tony Awards in 1948. She received an award as Best Newcomer for For Love or Money, which was only given out that one year.

Her Tony was a charm bracelet. The medallion we know wasn't introduced until the 3rd Tonys.
Oh, one of my cats just loves tissue paper! 💗

This was going to be even more annoying than I had anticipated, and I had anticipated a pretty high level of annoyance, maybe as high as 85 percent. Now I was looking at 90 percent, possibly 95 percent.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)
