Nah, that was Mallomars. Whoopie Pies and Moon Pies are available year-round.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

History channel. I still remember a Shakespeare "documentary" by them. They admitted Shakespeare wrote his own plays, but argued that he was also part of a Catholic conspiracy against the Tudors.

Poor little bat got disintegrated, methinks.
I just gave myself a heart attack here at work, thinking I'd screwed something up that I didn't. Like I needed that today.

I saw something similar on PBS. It was extremely speculative, with only the thinnest of evidence, accompanied by very selective reading of his texts.
The PBS show at least had some very good details on Elizabethan politics and culture.
EDIT: This is the show.

"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
That reminds me of a Colin Wilson novel where the protagonists were going on and on in obvious soapbox mouthpiece fashion about how banal and uninspired Shakespeare's works were... plus they were totally written by Marlowe!
Is it evil of me to be so gleeful about someone who attacked H.P Lovecraft early on ending up writing Cthulhu Mythos stories to make ends meet?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also saw something on the History Channel about the Freemasons, which was about 58 minutes of "Is it a conspiracy? Do they rule the world? Listen to what these people have to say about it!" followed by about two minutes of, "Nah, just some middle-aged suburbanites doing some silly rituals."

'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"
Still, HyFy stuff like Modern Marvels (which just had a show on Tesla) and Cities of the Underworld makes up for a whole lot of woowoo.

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

Steve Martin and some people from SNL did a good parody of this sort of documentary back in the early '80s. It was a sketch called "Did Dinosaurs Build Stonehenge?" It had a bunch of ludicrous "evidence" that dinosaurs built Stonehenge, followed by the statement that since dinosaurs died out 63 million years ago, it wasn't possible.
Then they said, "Some of the rocks at Stonehenge were carried all the way from Wales. Did whales build Stonehenge?" Followed by some very crude animation of blue whales pushing giant stone blocks along the ground. Then they concluded that wasn't possible either, due to the thing that whales can't breathe on land (their weight collapses their lungs).

Well... those clever Welsh did train sheepdogs to herd LED-equipped sheep into crude signs and symbols, so I wouldn't completely discount the idea that they trained whales to breathe out of water.

Punishingly Intricate
ugh stupid internet-based friend drama is bumming me out today. You know, if you have a problem with me, maybe try telling me instead of posting about it on your blog?? sheesh.
anyway, I need food advice! I defrosted some butternut squash soup on Sunday and fried up some bacon to crumble on it that same day. I brought it for lunch yesterday but ended up going out. Do you think it would still be good?
