Randall Munroe is a national, nay, World treasure. He’s a walking teaching moment.

I want that on my grave.

For putting that image in my mind, I’m inflicting this poem upon you:

One of the family stories that never fails to get told on me at any gathering is the time, as a kid, I suggested to my mom she should get “Empress” size stockings/hose off the rack, because an “empress” was better than a “queen.” If looks could kill . . . I don’t know if “empress” is around any longer as a size, but…

No thot shots. Keep it under your hat Pope. There are kids watching.

Then Jayne Mansfield’s bathroom will give you the heebie jeebies.

As a fellow early starter, I feel your pain. These would be even more helpful in elementary and junior high schools, before kids are used to the surprise bloody clothing.

Ohhhh god I remember being 11, class was in the library, and asking my male teacher if I could leave for the bathroom but I needed to go by the classroom first (for a pad). He kept asking why I needed to go to the room first. Errrr 11 year old me not able or willing to explain that.

I had to go to the school nurse for them in fourth grade.

“I am a person. I have a person-ality. I take things person-ally, because I’m person-able. You can’t do those things when you’re not a person. And I am a person.”

BUT HOW HUMAN BE MORE THAN ONE IDENTITY SAME TIME? HOW WOMAN HAVE THOUGHTS? WHY WOMAN SPEAK? HOW IS BABBY FORMED? HOW MY NAME ANCIENT EMPEROR? TRUMP2016!

I don’t know why the opening post had so little information, but this is all over the news. Here is a link with more photos and reporting:

My favorite celeb encounter story from that trip was a picture he had of himself with an older lady (in Italy? Can’t recall right now) who apparently really did act like a slightly scattered homeless person, greeting people and telling them stories about how she had once Been Somebody. He’s giving her a big hug around…

“Only apply if slender build; performance space is limited.”

You can watch It on the small screen on YouTube. Clara bow is stunning! I’d love to see her on the big screen.

I concur. As evidenced by my Screen Name.

Myrna Loy is definitely my TCM babe of choice.

He’s proud, perhaps for the first time ever. I’ll allow it. The real one who lacks class is his ex, who apparently shamed him.

I’m off to bleach my eyeballs now.
