Goodnight from Brighthaven’s Princess Caroline Hotel, gaunt and uneasy on a night when its ghosts outnumber its guests. Goodnight from Chris Bowland, encountering the plough light spilling through the windows of St. Berenwald’s as a profound blessing. Goodnight from Hookland.

The bone man. He’s come in the mornings and steal a bone from your bin. If there were no bones in the bin one of your family would have to sacrifice a toe or a finger. My uncle Colin lost an arm to him one time. Of course this was before the Bone War
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

the mash fandom is dying. repost if you want to get mashed
the M.A.S.H fandom is in full cope mode, certain in the belief there must be a secret, funnier finale coming. at the very least, an ARG. probably they’ll start the war up again or something, and of course it’ll turn out it *was* a chicken. and their favorite ships will kiss.

In the staff room at lunch, we all commented on how the children were happy with the hard frosts and walking to school in the cold. This seemed to be largely down to a belief it was keeping the Wood Sprite known as Gore Knuckles in hibernation. – Joanna Vickers, diary entry January 6th, 1982

Research shows coyotes in some areas look both ways before crossing roads and show traffic awareness. Between that and owner willingness to sacrifice their cats by leaving them outside (coyote cattle) so coyotes have free meals for their children, no wonder they do so well in sub/urban locales.

“Professor. When we offered you this lab, the equipment, and access to expensive supplies, we expected you to make us weapons. Now, do you promise your new invention isn’t yet another machine that grabs onto your ankles in bed and yanks on them to give you a really good stretch?”

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

...and to Tiny Tim, who will NEVER die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Tim. He wafts his cap as he pirouettes under the lamps and hangs his little crutch upon the wall. He says that he will never die.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Sometimes you work with cast or crew just once. Other times you make 5 movies with the same person. So instead of saying goodbye, on the last day of shooting, many of us say “See you on the next one.”
Today, I don’t want to say goodbye, so let me just say, PJ, my friend, see you on the next one.
