Nothing’s funny about the way Epstein’s friends victimized women and children. But it is very funny that, when he was in panic mode that his crimes might be revealed, Andrew, Duke of York, third child of the Queen of England, was shout-typing “What’s all this?” like a Bobby in a Benny Hill sketch.

The man with a mustache is supposed to be 28 years old. The four sitting gentlemen are supposed to be between 15 and 18 maybe.
So bring it on, Stranger Things, with your 23-year-old high school freshmen. My generation has indeed seen Stranger Things.

How often do you think people who are looking for a plumber in Smyrna, Georgia accidentally wind up going to “Plump Bros” dot com?

The summer I turned 19, I played one of the thieves in a children’s theatre production of Ali Baba. In one scene where we were hiding treasure we had stolen the director wanted us to enter to the song “Shake Your Booty” and we should be literally shaking the chests full of treasure we were holding.

I’ve heard the show is quite good, but I cannot imagine a less appealing tagline.

All along, I was misreading Abigail Spanberger’s name as “Spangenberg” and I was hoping she might be related to this very likable Jeopardy champion I remember from the early 90s. I am … mildly disappointed.

When she says “ooh, gamer,” it seems like she’s into it. But if you swiped right on a silver fox and when you met him for coffee you saw that he works at Target in his 50s (?) AND he’s a gamer…is that a GREEN flag?
Somehow the hardest thing to accept in this “Santa on a Tinder date” commercial.

Yes, advertisement, I know we are. But after Tuesday night, some of us were starting to feel like we have a chance of getting back to being the real thing… Thanks a lot.

I always tend to wanna write it as “whoah” so I guess I’m some sort of renegade maverick who plays by his own rules.

Obviously these are terrible people because they love Nick Fuentes. But can we agree that a man who sees his partner put that much effort into a Marilyn costume, then calls that bullshit a JFK costume has never remembered an anniversary, cooked a meal, or seen an in-person female orgasm?

I considered this, but the look is clearly based on Dracula.
I guess Lauren Hutton’s look in Once Bitten is also Dracula-adjacent and her character is called “The Countess.”
I thought Jim Carrey turns into a vampire in that, but according to Wikipedia, he never completes the transformation.

Chlorophyll Kid from DC’s Legion of Substitute Heroes is considered a joke and a loser because his power is making plants grow super fast.
He could travel from planet to planet ending famine and saving ecosystems.
He’s potentially the greatest hero in the universe.

I was 17 when I wrote that sitcom sketch and I still think it’s kind of fun absurdity to think Whack’s regular-dad sitcom character still had this ridiculous first name.
Today I learned that Bing Crosby had a sitcom in the 60s where he played suburban dad “Bing Collins.”

I think I saw the pilot for the show Blue Bloods many years ago and thought it was amusing that prominent Bostonian Donnie Wahlberg was playing an NYPD cop. Apparently now he has a spin off where he’s the same character but now he’s in Boston?
