Riley would like you to know that I'm mean because I wouldn't give her my burrito.
Good dog, bad table manners.

It takes a long time to get to the top of the Statue of Liberty. And when you get therealthough the view is fantastic-there's no sign of the Emma Lazarus poem. Disappointed, you run down the spiral staircase to find Kay and see if she's had any luck.
It's very, very dangerous to run down a steep spiral staircase. Your legs slip out from under you.
Your head cracks sharply on the iron stairs. And that's the last you'll ever see of the Statue of Liberty, or anything else.
The End

Brutal and surprising way to go, but we all make choices in life, and you made the wrong one.

As an exvangelical, I can't help but have a suspicion of Talarico. Yeah, the stuff he says is good in a Christian sense, but I've been burned by enough of these guys that SOUND right but then turn out to BE RIGHT if you get my drift.

“Clean Towels” and “Healthy Aging” in close proximity to a picture that could be misconstrued as adult diapers.

Getting to see the home movies of McCartney and his family are like a wonderful treasure trove. I loved it but wished it was so much longer.

When you already know most of this story, it can feel like the Cliffs Notes version (five total minutes about the making of Band On The Run? Absolutely zero about Wonderful Christmastime except maybe the best use of it as a gag ever)

I always felt like it should be obvious that it doesn't count if you actively try to make the rapture happen.

Soldier Details Chilling Messaging From Higher-Ups About ‘God’s Plan’ In Iran: ‘It Shocked Many Of Us’ One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

When I was in the church, the one thing none of us kids wanted to do was to live through this.
Now that I'm out of the church, it's hilarious to me to think that these dipshits think they can make God do something.

B/W fuzzy Picture of a baby with the caption “Sadly, after searching for 45 years, Joe Schambier discovered that his daughter died in a tragic explosion when she was just 18 years old.”

When the episode of Unsolved Mysteries ends in such a surprising and unexpected way it makes you burst out laughing.

The time for policy disagreements was over. The opposition was “crazy,” “sick” and “destroying our country.” (highlighted) His microphone was too hot, repeatedly giving static feedback when he raised his voice.

As an audio guy, this shows he was barely audible for the live audience. The man can hardly breathe. How long until we get to celebrate??

If you drilled a hole through the middle of the earth from each major league ballpark, this is where you would end up.

How a Man's Unborn Twin Fathered His Child An unusual case illustrates how promiscuous DNA can be. It turns out we have a lot of DNA that isn’t our own

I think I just got an idea for the sequel to Dead Ringers.
