I remember watching The Pelican Brief as a kid and wondering why their characters didn’t hook up.

Whatever it is, I suspect it’s only skin-deep.

I’ll have you know that Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game while playing for Polk High in 1966. It was the greatest event in Chicago history until Kanye released that one album.

Trump would needlessly repeat himself at some point and trail off to a different topic before the end of the last sentence.

To have a 2nd wave you need the first wave to end.

That inZane.

And not even a relatable asshole, but one whose onscreen role was Elitist Prick Who Fires People.
