The injection scene in the lab still runs through my head whenever I get a shot.

“Quick, stick these up before the press conference starts.”

Keeping an eye out for a gold plated Cricut during the next Oval Office presser.

The local GOP put up signs in our town and at polling places thanking him 🙄

Homer Simpson with a donut for a head.

This one plays on a loop in my head. I also seem to remember there being a candy commercial involving the aliens from the 1991 tv special The Last Halloween, but I can’t find it.

The four aspects of a great character are the Need, the Want, the Ghost, and the Lie.

A Want is their conscious desire.

A Need is what they really want but might not know.
