Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Aw, man, Gene Wilder died. Fuck ooooffffff, 2016.

Are you kidding me???

This year is the goddamn worst.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There are not nearly enough scenes of The Producers on YouTube.

I also have no idea how to feel about Bob Ross' hair.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Wilder was in his 80s, and had Alzheimer's. So, sad, but not unexpected. Blazing Saddles was a family favorite. Wilder's delivery and timing were flawless.

RIP, Wilder.

I still like Young Frankenstein, best. He and Madeline Kahn made such a great comedic team.

Afraid I've been expecting Wilder to go for quite a while now. May he and Gilda have had a fond reunion.

Because books.

Oh, man. Gene Wilder. Also what Matt said.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, Matt. Exactly what I thought.
