The most uplifting thing you can say to a clown is “who’s this clown?” because it shows that 1. you recognize they are a clown and 2. you want to know more about them

The Lyrics “Don’t look at the carpet, I drew something awful on it, see” from David Bowie’s Breaking Glass

Four jelly donuts that look kinda good, but not amazing.

Does Santa evolve?

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Here’s a fun game you can play. Spend a few moments imagining what a Flea solo track might sound like. Then go listen to the song. Then give yourself a grade.
