"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Drawing the perfect circle was the only thing that sounded exceptional to me. Two year olds don't generally have the fine motor skills for that.

I'm probably bringing my own prejudices as an artist to that. I was drawing at two, and a very round circle sounds hard but not undo-able to me for that age. (Would that whole body coordination had developed along with the finger dexterity—I'm still clumsy on my feet!)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can't stop vanity googling.

I think I need help.

I found myself in a Summer Reading poll, being whupped by Don Rickles.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Aw, Allyson. You could whip Rickles with one hand behind your back. He's little AND old.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And your snark-fu is way stronger! You could totally pwn Rickles.

A Batman comic. Sorta.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Groucho Marx on LSD

No really - he took it to prepare for a movie role.

... Groucho was holding on to his cigar for a long time, but he never smoked it, he only sniffed it occasionally. 'Everybody has their own Laurel and Hardy,' he mused. 'A miniature Laurel and Hardy, one on each shoulder. Your little Oliver Hardy bawls you out - he says, 'Well this is a fine mess you've gotten us into.' And your little Stan Laurel gets all weepy - 'Oh, Ollie. I couldn't help it. I'm sorry, I did the best I could ...'

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ita alert - I almost ran into Dave Chapelle just now. Literally. M & I were walking out of the Washbag, and his kids were being cute and gambolling on the sidewalk, so I was watching them and almost ran smack into Mr. Chapelle's chest. He was very cool about the inadvertent almost-tacklage, but I was so flustered I forgot to ask him if he knew you.

But, hey. Dave Chapelle. Pretty cool (and tall) dude.

If you've ever wanted to see a guy lick his own eyeballs, here you go.

No. But thanks anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! Dave!

I got nothing intelligible to say on the subject.

If it helps, tommy, he is by no means an attractive fellow, and even his fascinating talent does not spur in me an urge to bed him.

Oh, that doesn't help? Okay.
