Also I am stupidly competitive and (previously) athletic, so it didn’t seem like a win at the time, but I’ve decided to look at it as such 💫

I didn’t last long (mostly bc there was fresh fruit to eat at the end), but it was still a win

Actor Don Johnson. Dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to check out this alt text! As you may or may not know, this is a ridiculous joke. I know full well who the person is in the photo, and that I've added the bio of a different person entirely. That's the joke. It's a gag about people having a similar name, which I can mix up in a comedic way. Also, I was dropped on the head as a baby. Several times.

"This was not extraordinary or cool in any capacity. There were no explosive sounds, and I had to constantly jab and stir this decrepit mass of white chocolate to release the marshmallows."

I can’t help but think that if James Caan hadn’t sung “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” at just the right time in Elf, every one of those people would have been absolutely pancaked by Santa’s sleigh

"I gingerly placed the Grinch’s head into my hot milk. And then, nothing. 'Thought it would be more bomby,' I uttered to no one. I had to poke it for half a minute before anything happened."

Hi, thx for asking! I don’t use hashtags, but it’s prob a case-by-case thing. Just knowing ppl use abbreviations not bc they’re lazy, but perhaps for a dif reason. I posted this mostly bc this trend is annoying the hell outta me 😇 (this is from Threads):

I’m begging everyone to learn abbreviations bc sometimes people with disabilities need them to keep up, otherwise we’re crying (we’re prob still gonna cry) TYSM ILY
