Watching this, I had 2 thoughts about Dementia Donny’s eventual library

1) Will it have his gold toilet?

2) Will it sell ALL the books about him in the gift shop? Fire & Fury, Very Stable Genius, the book about how he cheats at golf, John Lithgow’s poetry about him?

You could have given me a thousand guesses on which celebrity death would come today, and not one of them would have been the great Diane Keaton.

It finally feels autumnal so here’s a spooky fact:

Norman Bates from Psycho, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs are all inspired by the same guy: Ed Gein

I’m gonna leave it there since the world is dark enough

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

Parenting hack:

Leave a large bubble wand in the car until freezing weather and a lil one in the diaper/kid stuff bag.

I had one and turned into a modern Pied Piper at the playground.

On one hand, Shakespeare has made immeasurable contributions to literature

On the other, he says “Villain! I have done thy mother!”

On the other hand, they had to work on the case where grandma got run over by a reindeer

Further proof toddlers are irrational. I put on Ms Rachel. There is no sound. It’s not the TV. I start to mess with it to try to solve the problem

Cue screaming and crying. She would rather silently watch her dungareed overlord than have me fix the sound issue

Never look too hard at monster romance if you find that tidbit bothersome. The limit for weird does not exist

I’ve read enough romances to know the power of a himbo with a heart of gold.

Loves her, respects her, supports her, and breaks her back? I’m not surprised at all
