"Damn that star is bright."
"Yeah. I guess you could say it's doing a #stellar job."

"He's exceptional?"
"Well, he takes exception to everything."
"Hmm. Does he have any useful skills?"
"He does a #stellar job of fucking things up and then lying about it. Does that count?"
"Sounds like a real loser."
"And yet, amazingly, he manages to keep winning."

It turns out laser eye surgery doesn't give you laser eyes. What a gyp.

"Doing stuff #knowingly is boring. I prefer to charge in pantsless and hope the power of tequila keeps me safe."
#vss365

I'm convinced no one walks into #writing #knowingly. If we knew what we were unleashing, we'd just fire up a different game and move on blissfully unaware of our psychoses.
#vss365

I've lived through pet rocks, Tomagotchis, Furbies, mood rings, parachute pants, and hypercolor shirts. Whatever #crazed fad pops up next, y'all can handle on your own.

"Every day #crazed accountants work feverishly on their black numeric arts, trying to reconcile books with arcane mathematical theories that not only describes reality, but defines it. That's the world we live in today."

It seems like every time the Republicans uncover some voter fraud it was Republicans committing it.

If you ever find yourself completely #mystified, just talk louder and faster. If that doesn't work, blame someone else for it.
I mean, it works for our president and he's confused by most things.
#vss365

"I think we're all a little #mystified sometimes. That's not a bad thing. Imagine how horrid life would be if we knew and understood everything. A little mystery is dash of spice in an otherwise bland life."
#vss365

I seem to remember he ran on a platform of no new wars, yet here we are. Just another lie from the liar in chief.

#Bouncy.
Heh heh. Snicker snicker.
Yeah. Bouncy.
#vss365

I would have thought #bouncy was a good thing, but these days a bouncy life means boinging from one near-catastrophe to another like we're watching a toddler play with a loaded gun.
#vss365

"I'm moving up in the world. It's time to ditch the bunker for a better supervillain lair. Maybe something in a #mountainous area. I like the idea of a nice view while I'm plotting the end of humanity."
#vss365

"I meant it as a compliment."
"I get it. I just don't like my boobs referred to as 'a #mountainous range'."
"Should I put away the rope and carabiners?"
"No. Leave those out."
#vss365

"Dammit, Lieutenant. Someone out there is #enchanting everyday items. Yesterday, a bowling ball attacked a woman. This morning, a cup of coffee nearly strangled a guy. There's more, too. And they all reek of magic. I'm telling you, it's a new form of terrorism."
#vss365

"Do you want magical items? Come on down to #Enchanted Emporium where we're enchanting all the things! Pizza cutters, bowling balls, poker cards, and much more! And, if you're over 18, be sure to visit the back room for the finest enchanted sex toys!"
#vss365

This is always good advice.

"Big brain. #Miniscule dress. Perfect killer combination and heading right at me like a curvy cruise missile with fiery eyes and a sway that would make gods fall to their knees. From the glower on her face, I knew things were about to get weird."
#vss365

"I hate to say this kiddo, but in the universal scheme of things, both you and your problems are #miniscule."
#vss365

Such an excellent episode.

That hip-hop green onion was quite the rapscallion.
#dadjokes #notsorry

The cool thing is, we'll be able to tell future generations exactly what it's like living under a kleptocracy.
