Ellen’s name has a capital G in DeGeneres (per the Variety quote towards the bottom of the post).

Fashion editor Anna Wintour (the supposed inspiration for Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada).

I assume it’s because genitals are exposed? Still a big stretch, though.

Maybe something like... falling victim to a global pandemic?

Hey, these days we’re all wearing masks... ;-)

Also Wooly Willie.

They’re just lucky that Bible didn’t spontaneously burst into flames while he was holding it.

Or maybe the “dysfunctional Thanksgiving dinner” type of family...

Ah. Well, I find baring my teeth and hissing to be somewhat cathartic -- but that may be because I’m a cat person. ;-)

I got tested on a Saturday afternoon and got my results back less than 24 hours later. I was very pleasantly surprised! (And I gather it has since become a much longer process in my city...)

Yes, that was precisely why I brought up Charlie!

I like to get creative with the books I take with me for my trips to the community mental health office where I get my antidepressant. My waiting-room reading there has included Jennifer Crusie’s Crazy For You and David Simon’s Homicide: Life on the Streets.
