THAT’S what Andrew Tate looks like. A tiny dwarf edgelord version of Jon Cryer’s take on Lex Luthor!

With “Buckees” and “Stuckeys” being the two most powerful forces on the highways of the American South, my powerful supercomputer calculates that the optimal next name for a gas station / tourist trap chain in the Bible Belt is “Duckies”.

Today I realized that when Paul Simon was doing the unfortunate mullet-and-mustache look, he was basically like a little pocket-sized version of Gallagher.

The term “spirit animal” is, of course, a clumsy and potentially offensive cultural appropriation from the first peoples of this continent. If you need a less compromised phrase for the same basic idea, why not “SIGNIFICANT OTTER”?

Current brain status: singing to myself “Whooooooa, Rambo is the colour of your energy, whooooooooa, shoot exploding arrows naturally”.

In terms of calendar, yes, the 90s started January 1st 1990. However, culturally, for many Americans of a certain age, they started December 14th 1987, upon the premiere of the Ninja Turtles cartoon. Sure, we didn’t know it yet, but sea changes are only understood in retrospect.

The musical “Hamilton” is about when John Milton was sliced in twain by a mystic sword and reborn half as tall but with double the powers of poetry. It’s short for “Half Milton”… and so was Half Milton! In archaic script, they wrote Ha’Milton, just like Halloween & Hallowe’en.

A canine ninja would be a caninja!
