True. The January cull of 2009 was epic.

It's better than why Elvis wouldn't go down on Cybill Shepherd. He claimed that was something white guys didn't do.

I've always had a soft spot for "Light My Candle."

Fuck, this is going to alter a lot of Cancellation League scores.

A Couple of White Dudes Sitting Around Talking

What is Spring Awakening, chopped liver?
(I love the show, but remember it being the fave rave when I first got into musicals.)

She played an a villainous crusader against witchcraft in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Did Nolan Gerard Funk's character ever wear anything except underwear?
